coming from Craig Harman
assisted by Ernie Kostner
and Brian Chatfield.

Over the three periods the
Rockets outshot’ the
Mountaineers 51-30 and
while Randy Smith did not
have the number of shots to
face, the quality of his saves,

particularly in the — third
period, was nonetheless
spectacular.

On Saturday at Maple

Ridge it was another of those
good to the last whistle kind
of game usually provided by
the Rockets and Chiefs, with
the Maple Ridge team
coming away on the long end
of a 5-4 score.

The Rockets were ahead
2-1 at the end of one period
but then slackened off in the
second long enough for the
Chiefs to take control and
carry a 4-3 jead into the final
frame.

Early in the third the
Rockets managed to pull
into a tie but with only two
minutes remaining in the
game the Chiefs scored to
take a 5-4 lead.

The Rockets applied
tremendous pressure in the
final two minutes, pulling
goaltender Randy Smith for
a sixth attacker but were
unable to get the equalizer.

Rocket goal scorers were
Jeff Durrant, Jim Buhr, Rex
Biedler and Danny Griffiths.

The Rockets outshot the
Chiefs 42-25.
