The Calumet news. [volume] (Calumet, Mich.) 1907-1938, 1910-03-11

The Mohawk team is champion OF
the Copper Country Amateur Hockey
league, thanks To the fact that Hough-
ton won out last night at the Amphi-
drome, beating Hancock by the close
score of to 3. In spite or the fact
that the ice was very soft, the game
was fully as fast and exciting as the
figures of the score would seem to in
dictate. 1t was the verdict OF many
who saw the game of last night that it
was by far the gest game of hockey
that has been seen at Amphidrome this
season.
Although the big rink has held many
larger crowds than that Of last night,
It is doubtful If any this season has
shown such sincere interest in a
game than was displayed during the
entire contest last night. Considering
the fact that the players were under
great strain of excitement throughout
the entire game, il was comparative
ly clean game. only two men being
beached for transgressing the rules of
play, one of these, Shea, spending two
terms on the side lines.
Houghton Aggressive at First.
The two teams faced off at little
after half-past and the Houghton
boys took the aggressive right from
the start, keeping the puck from their
end of the ice quite religiously. At
the end Of four minutes there was a
mix-up i'm front of Hancock's goal and
Sicotte secured the rubber and slipped
IL over 10 Haas. who scored the first
goal for the local team. The puck
had hardly been placed in play again
before Waara secured the puck from
near the center of the ice and, without
taking il nearer Hancock's end Of the
ice he shot a goal. which earned for
him the plaudits Of the spectators and
tied the score.
When Exley saw how easy II was
for his fellow player 10 shoot a long
goal he assayed 10 do likewise but
Haug was right there that time and 1t
was no use. The game waxed warm
during the latter part Of the half with
each side about as good as the other !
and neither being able 20 put the disk !
into the net. McCurdy gave the house |
a good opportunity 10 evince merri- |
ment when, in shooting for Hancock's !
goal. knocked Off the hat Of Umpire |
Keough behind the goal. At nine Sec !
onds before the half was 20 close the ,
puck had been worked down the ice 20 d.
a point just in front Of Hancocks net /
and the entire Hancock lineup itself F.
in front Of the net but SicOtte picked |
the rubber from the scrimmage and /
passed 10 to Haas, who scored. Referee \
Shields had just dropped the puck for
the play 20 begin again when the time 4
keepers whistle sounded and the half /
ended with the score . 10 1 i'm Hough-
toms favor.
The Second Half
When the boys lined up for the Sec
ond period Of the struggle the local
boys again became the aggrcssors and .
had been playing less than a minute
when Sicotte scored Houghton's third
tally. Directly after this Haug stopped
a perfect shot made by Waara, thereby
saving "A goal.
IL was about az this time that Began 4
was checked by Shea I'm coming down
the Ice and there then occurred the
first ofense Of the game. Began was
seen 10 swing his stick at Shea and
Shea was not slow on the come back.
The Judge Of play put them both upon
the side lines for two minutes. by
this time the half was half played and /
took the brace. Rompf was
coming down the ice with the puck and
Just after passing the center he shot \
he puck from that point and Il got
past Haug for a perfect goal, tieing
