As time expired in the .game, what was the question that sportscaster A1 Michaels asked the world? BOWMANVILLE EAGLES ACTION - There is a good chance that the Bowmanville Eagles will begin their final play-off series on home ice this Sunday. At press.time, the Uxbridge Bruins held a 3-2 lead over ;Port Perry, with game six played last night (Tuesday) ;in Uxbridge. If necessary, a seventh game in the se- ■ries will be played; in Port Perry on Thursday. If Ux- ' bridge was to win game six, the Eagles would probably probably begin game one in Uxbridge on Friday, with f ame two and three in Bowmanville on Sunday, and uesday. If the Uxbridge-Port Perry series goes seven ' games, the Eagles will face the winner in Bowmanville Bowmanville on Sunday night.

To Whom It May Concern: Concern: [ ' Our team recently participated participated in the B.R.H.L. tournament. tournament. Although our team, Skylight Donuts, went on to , win the 'A' Championship, there were some very disappointed disappointed children. For some of the children it was their first tournament. tournament. They were looking forward forward to receiving a trophy while standing on the blue line after the winning game. All they received was a pennant, pennant, no trophy! Trophies mean a lot to 6 and 7-year- olds. We feel, for the amount that the tournament cost per team, plus the admission admission charged each day, that there should have been some funds allocated for trophies trophies or medallions for each of the division winners. The pennants they received didn't even have the year or the division on them. The *'i ;1, Si s; s 328 RITSON RD. N., OSHAWA 725-4744 if bu»y call 725-2831 wiioi.ksai.i; x m: i.\n.

( SWIM MEET CANCELLED--The Newcastle Aquat- 1 ic Club have had to cancel their swim meet scheduled 'li for Sunday, March 4. A new date for the meet hasn't been decided. TRIVIA ANSWER--As "time was running out in that memorable, game, A1 Michaels asked, "Do you believe in miracles?...,Yes!" - ■ Parents Not Happy .With Tournament winning teams received the same as the losing teams. We are fortunate to have a sponsor who was more than happy to buy trophies for our team, and we will have our own celebration. But what about the winners of the 'B' and 'C' divisions. The looks on the children's faces should tell all. Just think of the reputation reputation that the B.R.H.L. gets in other communities when their teams receive cheap things, like pennants, for winning tournaments. A good tournament requires some leg work' and 'effort' and we feel that there wasn't nay put into this one. You didn't even have the local local paper there to take pictures. pictures. If you needed help, why didn't you ask?
