Lion’s Club 1992 Peewee Champs By C. Scott Holland
With overtime looming, the Leamington Lions Club of the Wheatley-Leamington Minor Hockey house league edged Marcovecchio Construction to claim the 1991-92 title. The Lion’s Club got the break they needed with only a few minutes left before overtime. The break came after they had built a solid 3-1 lead early and let Marcovecchio rally to tie the contest late in the second. Mark Mellow opened the game’s scoring as he
put Marcovecchio up 1-0. However the Lion’s Club notched goals to take the lead as Bob Grundner and Jason Laba found the back of the net. Early in the second, Graham Coulter rifled a goal to put the Lion’s Club up 3-1 but the Marcovecchio team battled and Craig Dutot responded by drilling two markers to even the score. The game was even until the waning minutes of the third when Graham Coulter blasted the go-ahead tally which stood as the eventual winner, giving the Lions the PeeWee crown.
