FOR THE CENTENNIALS

The end of the road

The Terrace Centennials played the role of the pracious host Saturday as they allowed the Prince Rupert Atom Motors Kings to skate away with a 19-2 victory. The victory gave the Kings the quarter final

series in four games straight. - A crowd of over 200 looked

on as the Cents continually

were a litlle more than upset by many of his cails and missed calls. When asked about the officiating, the officials representative from Terrace, Pat Hayes, would only say, “I don’t have anything to say about

Coach Red L’Estrange was very unhappy with the officiating. “I know ‘our guys didn’t play very. well, but the official made a slightly entertaining hockey game a... terrible game.”

More than once Martin Epp had a conference with either the scorekeeper or the players, and at one point the delay lasted a good 10 minutes. This type of con- fusion can make a close, fast-paced game look slow; so imagine, if you can, what it does to a one-sided con-

test. -

On a brighter note, the seven juveniles who played Saturday showed promise for future junior teams. Ed McEwan, Mike Ford, Steve Smyth, Wayne L’Estrange,

and Barry Brown all showed promise and played with much enthusiasm. “‘All the juveniles gave their best effort,” said L’Estrange, “not showing any signs of being intimidated by the rough style of play.”

‘The Terrace Centennials found themselves in an almost impossible situation following last Wednesday's third straight loss to the Prince Rupert Atom Motor Kings, a 10-2 loss. The loss gave Terrace only one chance to stay alive in playoff action.

The Cents came out skating and matched the play of the Kings for two periods before the walls tumbled down. The west coast club blinked the red light five times in the last period to win going away.

The hometown team gave the 140 fans something to cheer about as they opened the scoring after nine and a half minutes of play. Ex- King Brian Moroney carried the puck to the blueline and dumped it in. Dave Wakefield picked up the rebound at the face-off circle and beat King net- minder Jerry Kurka with a shat along the ice.

The Cents went in front 2-0 at the 17:29 mark as Doug Matheson fired a high shot into the net. The goal, a spower play marker, was scored with Kings Dave Allen and Rick Spracklin in the penalty box. Kelly McCabe kept the puck in, feeding Wakefield in the slot. Young Dave saw Matheson wide open in front and slid him the puck. Matheson made one move that flipped the disc into the open cage.

It looked as though the Cents would leave the ice with this advantage but Richard Wright and Al Sidoni had other ideas. Wright got possession of the

puck behind the net and fed’

Sidoni who was alone in front and, with two seconds to go, it was 2-1, Terrace.

It was a good period for the Cents. as they played good, smart hockey. The second frame started out much the same as both teams fought for an ad- vantage.

At the 10:10 mark the visitors tied the score on a weak shot from just inside the blueline. John Vaudry

ssed to Wright who in turn ‘ed Joe Ciotoli, Ciotoli tooka weak wrist shot from _the bluelizie which found its way behind Mario Moretto in the Cents net.

Just over two minutes later the Kings went ahead on a power play goal. Mc- Cabe and King Rob Pyde engaged in fisticuffs at the 12:38 mark with both going

for five and McCabe for two extra. It took the visitors only 16 seconds to use their advantage. Ciotoli took a shot from the point arid team mate Mike Vannier tipped the puck in between Moretto’s legs.

At this point coach Red L’Estrange pulled Moretto in favour of Rob Pyde. L'Estrange felt that Moretto should have stopped the last two goals and also wanted to try and change the tempo of the’ gameas Rupert was beginning to take over.

it turned out to be a ‘‘it seemed like a good idea at the time” plan as the Kings kept coming, scoring twice more before the period ended. With 4:45 remaining Vaudry stole the puck from Gord Cochrane and fired.a shot which found its way

behind Pyde after deflecting -

off his blocker. Forty-five seconds later Pyde allowed his second goal. Al Sidoni shot from outside the blueline and the puck went in off the goalie’s stick. The Kings came out flying in the last period as Gord Stephens, Wayne George, Vaudry, Sidoni and Frenette rounded out the scoring. The

Cents..were outshot 50-34 | and, if not for the fine play of

Moretto, the score could have been much higher. Coach Red L'Estrange

was. very pleased by the -

play of the four juveniles he used to help bolster the lineup. Ed McEwan, Steve Smyth, Murray Hill and Wayne L’Estrange suited up and gave 100 percent while on the ice. “Although their

experience is limite ,” gays

L’Estrange, “they play with enough hustle to help any club.”

L’Estrange was also unhappy with the officiating during the last half of the game. “It looked like he (the referee) went home to sit by the fire and when the fire went out, so did he.” The

reason for this statement was the game misconduct Cochrane received and the one King Norm Stephens did not receive.

Cochrane was clearing a man from in front of the net and a fight ensued. For his actions the Cent captain received a fighting penalty and a game. His Rupert counterpart received two minutes for roughing.

The Stephens matter came up with a minute to go. He and Cent Dave Wakefield went in the corner. The next second Stephens was throwing punches and Wakefield was laying on the ice, curled up. Stephens continued to punch and even tried to pick Dave up off his knees. For his action the
