Island Centremen Find Range For Six Goals In 7-3 Win Over Sydney

The Charlottetown Islanders vuilt up I 6-0 lead and then coast- ed home to whip the second place Sydney Millionaires '1-3 in a Mari- .ime MBj0l' Hockey League game ,llayed before 1380 fans at the. Forum last night.

Little Gerry Lachance, smooth skating pivotman of the potent, Lac-hance, Carver and Gignac llnel fir:-d three goals past Norman De- telice in the Sydney net to pace the improving Islanders attack.

Playing coach Wes ”Bucko" Trainer, back up at centre ice af-l tar months fill-in duty on defense, .cnrcd two goals, set up one ntore and has robbed of a third goal by the boil a fraction of a second be- fore the contest ended.

Buck Whitlock and Don "Pea- nuts" MacLauglilin were the other, islanders ntarksnii-n with Mac- Iaughlin scoring his first goal of the sP.'lS(lll on a zlnging slap shot from the liliielinc. Whitlock's goal was his liftccntli for the year.

Play was fairly even in the first lWl'lOfI although the Islanders werel lctidiiig 3-0 when the session end- ed. The Islanders controlled play in the middle frame but in the third session the Millionaires came back to apply the pressure.

The customarily poor ice for I Monday night game again slowed the progress of last night's con- test. The Millionaires, who play. at the Forum on most of the Mon- day nights haven't seen a decent sheet of ice here this season. , A high temperature at the end

the second period hampered the last

nf lroezling conditions for part of the game.

Roger Bessette showed brilliant form for the Islanders especially in the opening period when he stopped at least five breakaway shots. George Robertson, the trickyl Sydney centre. who played another strong game for the Moneymen, was his first victim when Besaette beat him from close range.

Terry Reardon, Stan MacDougall, Cowan Ind Dubuc all had point blank chances but were outguessedl by the Islanders nctminder.

Lachanca scored the Islanders first two goals. At the 5.26 mark he slapped in Glgnack rebound and on the play Defellce re-in- lured his hip. The Sydney goalie, was injured in Halifax Saturday. night and as a result was operat- ins under difficulties throughout the game.

Six minutes later following I: face-off in the Sydney end Mac- Laughlln laced a slap shot from the biuellne that sank into-the rordage in the back of the net just' as Defelice was making his ntovci to strip the screened drive.

Less than it minute later La-J Chance broke away to score his: third goal. His last second shotl was partially blocked by Dcfellce but the. goal judge ruled that the' puck crossed the. line and allowedl the goal despite a strong Sydney protest.
