" Best of 7 " @ Kitchener Kitchener - Waterloo Dutchmen beat Penticton V ' s 4 games to 1 . Kitchener - Waterloo Dutchmen won the Allan Cup . Newspaper Story . From : The Nelson Daily News Thursday , May 7 , 1953 Dutchmen Capture Allan Cup After 35 Years Penticton Blanked 5 - 0 Kitchener , Ontario ( CP ) - - Kitchener - Waterloo Dutchmen completed their conquest for the Allan Cup after a 35 year wait , by blanking the Penticton V ' s 5 - 0 in the fifth game of the best - of - seven series for the Canadian senior hockey championship . Goalie Bobby Gillson , the substitute netminder from Owen Sound ' s Mercurys , who came in last Saturday to play a sensational hockey , and handed the Dutchmen their only defeat , went down with flying colours . He made 48 stops against a high flying Dutchmen club that just would not be denied . The V ' s tried hard , but they were outskated and outplayed all the way . It was a storybook wind up to a season that saw the Dutchmen come from third place in their Ontario Hockey Association senior A series , to sweep aside the Stratford Indians in five games , Owen Sound Mercurys in six , and the Sudbury Wolves and Smith Falls Rideaus in two limit series of seven games . The Bobby Schnurr - Doug Verity - Maurice Leveque line carried the mail for three goals Wednesday night , including the two big ones in the first period . Verity Scores Winner Verity , the old pappy guy of 33 , scored on a crossfire drive from about 25 feet , that beat Gillson to the corner at 2 : 10 of the first period . It was the winner but no one would have believed it at the time . Leveque , playing with his right shoulder frozen , notched the second goal , and the first of two for him , at 18 : 18 . He came in off left wing for a perfectly timed pass by Schnurr . The V ' s had their early chances . They hit the goalpost several times but as the game wore on they ran out of steam , and the Dutchmen , flying fast as ever , just ran off with it in the third . Jack McKenzie made it 3 - 0 at 15 : 05 of the final with a smart counter on a pass by Brooker . Brooker rapped in Don Bauer ' s backhand pass at 19 : 00 , and Leveque caged a rebound of Verity ' s shot at 10 : 34 to finish it off . A packed house of 7 , 856 , which raised the series count to 36 , 674 for five games , cheered wildly and exploded firecrackers as the last minute rolled around . McAvoy In Fighting Mood In the final frame defenceman George McAvoy of the V ' s , penalized for boarding , speared referee Lorne Lyndon of Winnipeg as he skated to the box . Lynden applied a match misconduct . McAvoy then got into a fight with a police sergeant in the penalty box , and when being escorted to his dressing room , got into an altercation with another on the opposite side of the rink . The Warwick brothers , Dick , Bill and Grant , played fine hockey in a losing cause . Doug Kilburn and Jack McIntyre worked hard and Jim Fleming starred on defence . The Dutchemn ' s defence came up with its best game of the series , and the V ' s seldom were able to muster a clear shot on Woodall in the final thirty minutes .
