minutes of play with

shoulder pads. After
the referee looked the
player over and he was
deemed legal the Pacers
found themselves down
two players and Terry

Niagara got one back on
an unassisted goal by
Don Ferguson at the
10:51 mark. Sarnia made
a goaltender change to
Greg Krstic after this
goal was scored. The
referees had a meeting
with the captains of
both teams shortly after
the goal as the humidity
in the building was
making its presence
known with the players
frequently slipping and
falling to the floor.
There were frequent
breaks so the goalies
could re-hydrate and
others stoppages so that
the floor could be dried
up with some
towels. What would be
the final goal of the
game was scored by
Terry Miller of the
Pacers at 14:13 with an
assist to Jesse
Thompson. At this
point the referees
called the game as done
to prevent anyone from
being injured since the
floor continued to be
slippery. Niagara was
one for two with the man
advantage of this period
and were one for four in
the game. Sarnia had no
power play chances this
period and were three
for six in the game.
