by RON JOHNSON Coach Ron Marchildon is hoping December will be as good to his Penetanguishene Kings as November has been. . Cents trimmed Stayner Siskins, Monday night, in Stayner to run the team's winning streak to nine games.. Brian Norwood fired in the winning goal with about seven minutes left to lift Kings to a 4-3 verdict. Marchildon is ecstatic about the way things went for Kings in November. "We had a perfect month with a 9-0 record. It couldn't have been better,"' said the coach yesterday. ist Month-end report Far from resting on their laurels though, Kings are already looking forward to December when they play only six times, and four of those are at home. Kings played a physical game against Siskins in the small Stayner rink, although this was not completely by design, according to Marchildon. "It's hard not to play the body in that rink, every time you turn around you have a chance of running into someone." Besides Norwood's winner, the McReynolds brothers, Brian and Blair, each scored, along with Dave Robillard. One of the biggest improvements in the team is its overall defensive play. Kings take pride in stopping the op- position's shooters, and feel that if they hold opponents to only three or four goals then they have a better than average chance of winning. Kings have the best goals-against- record in the league, just as they did last season, so there is no arguing with success. Monday's win comes on the heels of Friday's 15-2 romp over Oro at home. Big shooters in that one match-up were Brian McReynolds and Dave Robillard with three apiece and John Monague with two. clean slate...all wins and no losses! Monague and McReynolds also had two assists each. Al Melnyk had a goal and five assists, while Brian Forget had one and four. Other scorers were Greg St. Amant, Bob Weatherill, Frank Hall, Glen Lesperance and Ken Sine.

A's dominated the opening period and were deserving of their 2-0 lead. Terry Spiker continued his fine play of late by scoring both goals. Gary Hansford and Doug Gillespie set up the first, while "Dizzy"' had the lone assist on Spiker's second marker. Shipbuilders turned the tables in the second period with three goals, while keeping the A's off the scoresheet. Things opened up in the last frame as no fewer than eight goals were scored. Gillespie tied the contest at the 43 second mark, assisted by Carol Cowan and Wayne Dixon. About three minutes later, Midland took the lead when Dowan potted one assisted by Gillespie and Spiker. The seesaw swung back in Collingwood's direction at this point, and they scored twice to make it 5-4. A's were not finished yet as they drew even on a goal by Paul Robillard from Ken Knapton. From here though, Midland seemed to run out of gas and Collingwood closed them out with three straight goals, the last one into the empty net. Tom Colley and Tim Abbott each had two goals for the 'Builders while singles went to Tim Colley, Les Burgess and Miles MacAuley. \THLETICISMS....A's hosted Collingwood last night in a return match....Doug Taylor will return this week and that will give the team three lines without double shifting someone, that should eliminate late collapses as. witnessed lately....Bruce Guthrie missed Friday's game because of work....Kids' Night is this Sunday when the A's host Durham Huskies....Santa will be there and all sorts of prizes will be given away, like a Moto-cross Bicycle and Tornoto Maple -Leaf hockey tickets....Gillespie and Spiker are rising fast in league scoring stats. by DOREEN STAINTON Shoot-out at the Coldwater Corral Penetanguishene's once, recording a Up and Over: Haven'twe met before?

Sports Views Local puckster by RON JOHNSON At least one local hockey player is playing hockey exactly where he wants to, and is enjoying it to the fullest. Pat Brodeur, son of Mr. and Mrs. Tom Brodeur of Hugel Avenue in Midland, is playing his first season of hockey for the Princeton University Tigers in Princeton, New Jersey. Pat is on a full scholarship at the Ivy League school and has just completed and passed his first set of exams. At Princeton the premise is to get the athletes settled in as students first, before submerging them completely in competition. It is definitely not your basic athletic factory which produces athletes without degrees in large numbers. by Ron Johnson Sports Editor Princeton has played only two games thus far in the season. They lost to Yale 6-3 in their opener, before playing Brown University last Friday night. Pat plays on the second line for the Tigers, with two other freshmen. Along with his regular duty, Pat has been killing penalties and has worked on the powerplay. A heavy workload for a freshman. According to father Tom, Pat is still in awe of being at Princeton. After aiming at this kind of hockey-education mixture since he was about fourteen, Pat is living a real "'fantasy". One that he appears to be taking - full advantage of. The university takes up almost half the city of Princeton, and is every bit as prestigious as we are led to believe. It is kept up very well and the buildings are austere and prominent as befits the school's tradition and reputation. Despite not playing until last week, the hockey life for Pat has been more than full. Workouts are held six days a-week and are two hours in duration. Two-a-day practices were held earlier in the term to get the team ready physically. Pat has told his dad that he has gained a lot of insight into the college game since starting at Princeton. They play hockey in a wide open and free-skating style. There is very little fighting or violence because of the severity of the penalties, and the possibility of losing one's scholarship. Assistant coach of the Tigers is Bruce Delventhal, and his is interested in promoting makes good his team in this area. If you would like to follow the Tigers and Pat Brodeur more closely, contact Bruce by writing him c o c o Assistant Hockey Coach, Princeton University, Princeton, New Jersey, USA, 08544. . Random Notes...We are deeply saddened by the sudden demise of the Double Blue in Toronto on Sunday last....Warren Moon et al convinced me that they are indeed the best Canadian football team ever, Sorry Sam Etcheverry and Jackie Parker fans....Argos will return though if they don't make too many changes and ruin a potential "team of the eighties"....Wait for the announcement ' that Warren Moon will join Hugh Campbell in the new U.S.F.L. next year.
