And those smiles were for a number of different reasons. First, local teams did quite well during the tournament, with five Bowmanville teams capturing trophies in their respective age divisions. Also, there was some fast maneuvering done by tournament organizers after an ammonia leak at the Darlington Sports Centre caused the cancellation of some games on the , final day of the tournament. The tournament ran a little later than originally .planned, but because of the swift action of those associated with the tournament, games were shifted to the Recreation Complex and were played out to their conclusion. We know they would rather not be singled out, but the work of both Brad Adams and Paul Jackman during the entire week can't go without mention. Both deserve a lot of credit for continuing to make the tournament one of the best. EAGLES GAME -- Hard to believe, because it's only the first week of January, but the Bowmanville Eagles are down to their final three home games of the regular season before the playoffs arrive. This Sunday, they will put their eight-game winning streak on home ice on the line when they host Lakefield at the Recreation Complex for a 7:30 p.m. start. Following that, games against Bobcaygeon on January 23, and Port Perry on January 25, will bring the home schedule to a close. Don't forget, kids 12 and under are admitted free to the home games as long as they are accompanied by an adult. And, who knows? With the results of this past Sunday's game against Bobcaygeon, maybe the executive can come up with some sort of promotion for the January 23 game to bring people out to the arena to take in a Jr,.C game. We'll keep you posted. . ATHLETES.OF THE YEAR -- Well, it was the most difficult choice to ' make in the four-year history of The Canadian Statesman Athlete of the : Year award, but the staff have managed to select a male and female winner for 1993. The plaques are currently being engraved, and we hope to have an announcement of the winners, with their prizes, in next week's edition. In case you forgot, the male nominees were triathlete Ken Cornelius, lacrosse player Jim Veltman, and swimmer Toby Limebeer. Hockey player Sommer West, gymnast Stephanie Cappuccitti, and college soccer player Stephanie Axford were vying for the female athlete of the year honours. All six deserve special recognition for their outstanding achievements during the past year.
