The Manitoba Junior Hockey League All-Stars took a 3-0 lead in the first period and then received a lesson in the Finnish technique of playing hockey as the Finnish National Juniors skated away to a 6-3 victory at the Winnipeg Arena Thursday night, December 20.Carl Haney opened the scoring at the 0:31 second mark with an unassisted goal, John Mazur then made it 2-0 at 14:17 and 52 seconds later Don Hansford completed the Manitoba club's scoring. Finland's Jarmo Haellfors scored a power-play goal at 18:24 and Jonni Rinne completed a
neat three-way passing play 17 seconds later and the first period ended 3-2. Rinne scored his second goal of the game at 3:29 of the second period to tie the game and that's the way the second period ended. In the final period, the Finns dominated every aspect of the game, scoring three unanswered
goals. Kari Eloranta gave his club the lead and Haellfors completed his hat trick with a pair of goals.
