TEAM DOUGLAS FARING WELL IN PLAYOFFS

As a result of three playoff games to date, Team Douglas holds an edge over
Trinity Western College and BCIT Forestry. In the first game, Douglas and
BCIT Forestry fought to a 5-5 tie on Mar. 12/74. BCIT opened the scoring in
the first period, going ahead 1-0. Douglas fought back in the second period,
scoring two goals to go ahead 2-1 but BCIT scored two goals later in the

period to go ahead again by a score of 3-2. BCIT scored again early in the

third period to make the score 4-2 but then Douglas roared back with three
straight goals to grab the lead 5-4. However, Douglas couldn't hold the

lead and BCIT tied it up at 5-5. Both teams had opportunities to score

late in the game but neither team was able to do it. Goalie Peter Collins
played very well, especially in the late stages of the game, and received

some timely assistance from defenceman Wes Hawkes who, on one occasion,
scooped the puck out of the crease after Peter had been beaten. The

results of this game counted in the final standings and ensured Columbia Bible
Institute of the league championship.

Scoring for Team Douglas were Pat Ponti (assisted by Bill Bonner and Ron
Hovey), Ron Hovey (assisted by Pat Ponti and Bill Bonner), Gene Guiricich
(assisted by Al Lewis and Ken Zakala), Bill Bonner (assisted by Pat Ponti)
and Ken Zakala (unassisted).

On Mar. 19th, Team Douglas again played BCIT Forestry, coming out ahead this
time by a score of 4-1. BCIT scored first and led 1-0 at the end of the
first period. However, Douglas scored twice in the second period and twice
again in the third period to wrap up the win. Scoring for Douglas were

Ron Ames (unassisted), Ken Zakala (unassisted), Ron Hovey (assited by Bill
Bonner) and Al Lewis (assisted by Ken Zakala).

In a game played on Sat., Mar. 23rd, Douglas defeated Trinity Western College
3-1. Douglas started quickly, scoring at the 10 - second mark of the first
period on their first shot of the game. For the remainder of the first

period, all of the second period and most of the third period, it was a
goaltender's battle between Stan Josephson of TWC and John McKenzie of Douglas.
In the third period TWC finally scored to tie the game at |-1 but, with 4:48

to go, Douglas scored again to go ahead 2-1, Trinity pulled their goalie in

a desperate effort to tie the game but Douglas scored the insurance goal into
the empty net with one second left to go in the game. Final score: DC 3 TWC 1.
Scoring for Douglas were Gene Guiricich (assisted by Al Lewis), Ron Ames
(assisted by Pat Ponti and Ron Hovey) and Ken Zakala (assisted by Ron Ames).
Douglas' two goalies, Peter Collins and John McKenzie, have been playing
extremely well in the playoffs and, as a result, the team has an excellent
chance of winning the playoff championship.
