10 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, April 18, 1979 Scott's Colonels Novices Win Third Championship Scott's Colonels Novice Toros completed their hockey season in fine fashion, as they won the "A" Championship in Port Perry Tournament this past weekend. The three wins in this tournament kept the Colonels unbeaten record for April intact, as they ended up with 8 straight wins. The first game of the day was against a very determin- ed but under staffed Wasaga Beach team. Final score was 3-2 for Bowmanville, with Gareth Stone scoring 2, and Brad Carnegie scoring the winner in the third period, assists to Chris Hall, Jeff Laird and Gareth Stone. The second game of the day was a battle for the Colonels as they took on a very strong Port Perry team. This game had a little of everything in it. Darrin Bunker played out- standing in this game for the Colonels and was called upon to stop not one but two penalty shots. At the end of regulation time the game was all tied at three apiece, Gareth Stone scoring 2, Brad Carnegie 1 with assists to Chris Hall and Brad Carnegie. We should add that in the first period, when Bowmanville received a pen- alty, the clock stopped and the game was restarted, howëver, Bowmanville still had to serve the penalty. The game was forced into overtime, and assistant Captain Gareth Stone was able to find the mark with just one minute left in the overtime to give the win to the Colonels. This was one of many hat tricks for Gareth this year. With only an hour's rest, the Colonels took to the ice again, this time the opposition was the Uxbridge team. The Col- onels fell behind 3-1 at the end of the first period, our only goal by Brad Carnegie. The Colonels were not to give up, and appeared to get stronger as the game progressed, and the heavy clean body checks seemed to take their toll on the Uxbridge team, as we came back in the second period with a goal, again by Brad Car- negie, and held the Uxbridge team off the scoreboard. The third period was all Bowman- ville as we scored four more times, and took at 6-4 victory. Brad Carnegie dominated this game with his fine checking and puck control, scoring four goals to lead the Colonels. Rounding out the scoring with very important goals were Shane Armstrong and Gareth Stone, with assists to Mark Tripp, Tim Smith, John Begg and Gareth Stone. This past month's unbeaten record has been a result of very fine determined hockey play by all members of the team and without this hard work by all members this record could not have been obtained. A special thanks to the players, and parents for the co-operation and hard work this past season. Also a special word of thanks and praise to the Statesman and their staff for the fine coverage they have afforded us this year - from Wm. S. Munro Manager. Heritage House Beasties Looking for a League $t. Joseph'$ Not too muchhas been written about one of Bowmanville's newest hockey teams, the Heritage House Beasties. They are in age between the juniors and old timers, so have no league to play in. However, they've had a fair number of exhibition games with This Week's Screaming Turkeys and others around the area. Team members are, front row, left to right, Mike Cahill, Sam Elliott, Bill Goswell, Britt Murphy, John Ayre, Butch Colbourne and Steve Hall; back row, Barry Edmonson, Orville Withers, Dan MeGlade, Pat O'Reilly, Ken Nagel, Bob Shantz and Rory Irwin. Next year, they'll get underway early and hope to be a real threat. Jr. C Finals Delayed EagIes Await Decision from Off-la Dispute by Don Wilcox The Bowmanville Port Dar- lington Marina and Hotel Junior C's expected to be playing the winner of the Stoney Creek-Kincardine series in the OHA finals. The series should have been over last week and the champion- ship round should have started over the weekend. Instead, the Red Eagle players and management are going around asking each other what next? Hockey used to be a SIMPLE game where the common words used were skating, passing, checking, shooting and scoring. In today's technical game, especially in playoffs, the words protest, counter-pro- test, rebuttal, and appeal are making the game unnecessar- ily complicated. Hockey, like any sport, should have a winner decided through talent, desire and dedication on the ice and not through what you can achieve in a boardroom decision. The most important point of any game is sportsmanship but the theme of sportsman- ship appears to be secondary in the thoughts of some responsible people, their thinking being rather "What's in it for me and my team?" The calls of the referees are the main reason for most of the controversy which is taking place this season. Again the fact that referees are human and: can make mistakes seems to be lost. A referee must know his rule book, make snap decisions and be prepared to stand by them. But with increasing pressures applied to game officials they might begin to take the attitude that they have better things to do with their spare time. OHA executive decisions on disputes are becoming very difficult and the threat of lawyers being hired has to have an effect on their decisions and this again detracts from the game. In the off-ice battle going on between Stoney Creek and Kincardine, an executive decision called for a game to be replayed last Thursday night. But the game was not played because one of the participants decided to appeal and chose not to appear for this game. While not taking sides in this issue, it would appear to me that teams have an obligation to honor a governing body's decision which in this case they have failed to do. You will recall that the Red Eagles were involved in a protest in the Gananoque series with the judgement being that the Eagles had an ineligible player and as a resuit the win was taken awav New York City Washington D.C Nashville Depart May 18 (evening departure) Rochester Lilac Festival Depart May 18 (morning departure) Finger Lakes Depart May 22 W.W.V.A.

The Red Eagles kept the situation in perspective with the players going all-out to make up for the mistake, everyone pulling together. In the end, they created a fine example of sportsmanship. The Red Eagles, when and if they eyer get the finals underway, can look back to this season as a chapter in their lives which had it all.
