The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, Wednesday, June 15,1994 It was out with the old and in with the new on a number of different different fronts as the Bowmanville Goodyear Eagles brought the curtain curtain down on their 1993-94 season with their annual awards banquet on Saturday night. On the way out were graduating players, who concluded their junior eligibility with the hockey club. . New for next season is the team colors and a logo. Both were unveiled unveiled during Saturday's proceedings proceedings at the Recreation Complex. The team will be sporting the colors of the Ottawa Senators next year. White sweaters for home games, and black for away games will be the dominating colors. As well, a new logo will be adopted, which depicts a menacing-looking eagle with claws extended and a broken hockey stick in its mouth. It is hoped that the change in appearance appearance will add to a whole new look and approach that the team is seeking for next season. During the awards segment of Saturday's banquet, Gary Armstrong Armstrong was the big winner. He was selected for the Durham Regional Police Award as the team's most valuable player. After playing the past,two seasons seasons with his high school hockey team in Ajax, Armstrong made a hefty contribution to the success of the Eagles this past season. He finished third in team scoring, with 14 goals and 19 assists in only 26 games. His 33 points placed him in die top ten of the league scoring race. None of his points were probably more memorable then the goal he scored in the dying seconds of game seven of the Ontario semi-finals against Rockton. The goal sent the game into overtime, which Rockton eventually one. Armstrong's selection as MVP is likely to give him the inside track on the vacancy for the team's second second over-age spot for next season. One of those spots has been guaranteed to Curtis Hodgins, who was the Jack Gibbs Memorial trophy trophy recipient as the team's most dedicated and sportsmanlike player. A late-season addition after being being left off Uxbridge's protected list, Hodgins made an immediate impact on the hockey club. In only 13 games, the highly talented cen- treman collected 27 points, including including 12 goals. Those totals could eclipse the 100-point mark next year, providing he remains healthy for the duration of the season. Hodgins raised the level of play of his teammates, especially that of captain Brad Robinson, who won the President's Trophy as the team's highest scorer. After a slow start, Robinson's season was rejuvenated after the arrival arrival of Hodgins. Playing on the wing, he finished the year with 45 points, placing second by nine points to Port Perry's Clair Cornish in the league scoring race. Together with winger Todd Cannings, Cannings, the trio combined to form one of the top offensive lines not only in the Central League, but in thé entire province. Another of the veteran players who closed out his career on a high note was defenceman Jeff Flintoff, who won the Mike Puk Family Trophy Trophy as the least-penalized player for two-thirds of the season. In 21 games during the regular season, Flintoff had only 20 minutes minutes in penalties. It was the second Hockey by Brad Kelly time in his five-year career with the hockey club that he has won the award. He was the also the recipient back in 1990. Bowmanville Minor Hockey Association Association grad Jeff Murphy rebounded rebounded from a quiet rookie season the previous year, and established himself as a solid contributor this season. For his efforts, he was selected selected for the Bob Beers Memorial trophy as the most-improved player. Although he was unable to attend attend the banquet, an acceptance speech made by Murphy was broadcast broadcast on a big screen television. The tape had been made at a golf tournament tournament that the team held recently. Another graduate of the BMHA, Sean Brown, also received recognition recognition on the night. The slick-skating centreman won the Lome Haynes Memorial trophy as the team's rookie rookie of the year. Brown averaged more than a point per game during the regular season, finishing with 11 goals and 17 assists in 24 games. The only setback he suffered all season was the result of a separated shoulder that kept him out of the lineup at the beginning of the playoffs. A couple of defencemen were also recognized for the valuable part they played during the enormously successful season. Craig Hilton won the Sponsor's Trophy as the teams best defence- man. His year was highlighted by his selection as a player in the league's annual all-star game. And Eric Warner won the Devitt Trophy for team loyalty and leadership. leadership. A university commitment limited Warner to only 15 games during the regular season. But he showed why he was the club's best defenceman a year ago, exhibiting top form during four exhausting playoff rounds. I have egg on my face after the column that appeared in last week's Statesman regarding the Ontario Hockey Association media award that I had won for the coverage coverage provided to the Bowmanville Eagles during their 1993-94 campaign. campaign. I went to great lengths to thank a lot of people, in particular Eagles' Eagles' manager Mike Laing, who initiated initiated the nomination. Well, it seems I made an error in thanking him. My thanks, as it turned out, should have gone in the direction of the Stratford Junior B hockey club. Below is the first paragraph paragraph of a letter received received late last week from the office of the Ontario Hockey Association. Association. Dear Brad: I am writing to advise you that having been nominated by the Stratford Stratford Junior B Hockey Club for an OMHA Media Recognition Award this year, our selection committee has seen fit to bestow recognition from the Association's standpoint in recognition of your dedicated service service to Ontario Hockey Association programs this past winter Yours very truly, Brent Ladas, You see, the association annually makes two award presentations to members of the media each year. This year, yours truly, and a radio station in Stratford are receiving awards. I wonder if the letter to the radio station in Stratford mentions that the Bowmanville Eagles nominated them? Anyway, I owe the Stratford team a huge thanks at this Saturday's Saturday's luncheon in Burlington.
