I ' 5 "a q c Citizen sports beat Wednesday, April 5, 1978 Recreational hockey Kens Esso and Hindson clash in play-off Ken's Esso will lock horns' with Hindson Marine in the play-offs of the Penetanguishene Recreatidonal Hockey League next Sunday at 10 a.m. That was decided this weekend when Kens Esso defeated B and J Gas Bar 5-2, and Hindson Marine defeated Chalet Sports 4-2 in sudden death Semi-final play. Kens Esso opened the scoring at 12:11 of the first period in their game, when Greg Quesnelle scored from Bill Mundy and Wayne Corosky. B and J Gas Bar jumped into a temporary lead later in the period when they scored two quick goals. Jules Duquette scored the first, with help from Sandy McKillop, and Charlie Pearson chalked up the second goal with an assist going to Jim Wright. The game tightened up again when Kens Esso scored the tying goal near the end of the period. Jim Pollard got credit for that marker with Bill Mundy and Rick Desjardins getting assists. Kens Esso scored the Keegos successful at regional meet Midland Y Keegos swim club enjoyed still more success in regional competition on _ the weekend as they captured a total of 51 ribbons in- cluding 16 first place finishes. Two of Keegos top performers Kathleen King and Tracy Hutton swam to firsts in all three of their events to continue their domination of the girls classes, while Jason Hamner and Chris Vogt claimed two firsts each in the boys events. Keegos swept three of the relay events including both the Senior girls and the 13 and 14 year-old girls 400 metres as well as the Senior boys relay. The meet marked a change for two members of Huronia's most suc- cessful swim club in that it was their first com- peting in a higher age group. Shelley Brown and Kerry Heins both moved to the next higher age group after enjoying great successes in the early part of the season. The change in class meant fewer first place ribbons for both swim- mers. although their personal times continue to improve. Brown graduated to the 13 and 14 year-old girls class from 11 and 12 year- olds, but still managed a second place in the 100- metre freestyle. Heins dropped from first in the 11 and 12 year-old boys class to a second and two fourth place finishes, but continued to cut his times in most events. Due toa recent vote at a regional coaches meeting each team can now only enter a swimmer in three individual events at a developmental meet. The limit on entries is in- tended to streamline the operation of the meets which have undergone an increase in entries, but will have an adverse effect on a smaller club like the Keegos that rely on a group of swimmers to enter several events in the same meet. Keegos coach Frank Woodley said he is disappointed with the rule change. "Tt hurts a small club like ours, a big club can enter more events and do better simply because they have more swim- mers."' To date, there have been no rule changes limiting the number of entries by a team in a championship event but Woodley says there are plans in the making for such a change.
