Wheelihan gets game-winner as Merchants back on track el from MERCHANTS on page 21 bis defensive cohorts are capable of more than they've sbown tbrough moat of the season. "During tbe whole downward spiral we had a lot of meetings and talked about concentrating more on our own end," said the native Miltonian. "It was just a matter of time before thinga got better. Hopefully, we're back on track now.' The Merchants were a little sharper on puck possession in their latest win - which upped tbeir record to 15-4-0-3 and kept them witbin two points of top seated Georgetown - and enjoyed superb penalty killing from captain Cbad Blundy and James Coleman. Goalie Joel Cameron also dcliv- ered a rock solid performance for bis second straight Win. Another bright spot was tbe retumn of gritty winger Mark Beisel. However, he did put a bit of damper on the fes- tivities by foolisbly charging the opposing bench laite in the third and drawing an ejection. M i ke Wheelihan provided tbe bcroics on the nigbt by batting in a cross-i ce pass for the game winner 6:06 into the middle stan- Mîke Wheelihen za. It was bis first goal in four games and 1lOtb of tbe season. Moments later Hamilton goalie Paul Scbonfelder took a rising slap- sbot under bis shoulder pad and sustained a deep bnaise - leaving tbe balance of thse evening's work for tandem partner Derek Paton. Milton's insurance marker came in tbe dying moments of tbe sec- ond, wben Elliot Altberg connectcd in close just a split second after a Hamilton penalty bad expircd. Thse Kilty Becs grabbed an early lead midway tbrougb tbe opening frame -but held it for a mere 90 seconds. Merchant sniper Ian Malcolm evened thse count witb bis I 9th season tally, managed on a terrific move inside and upstairs wrister past Scbonfelder. Phil Barski drew assists on goals two and tbree to boost bis team leading points total to 39. Milton bas two games in band on Georgetown and will look to reclaim first place witb tbcir busy scbedule tbis week, wbicb started last nigbt in Ham-ilton.
