"A Family Tradition for 125 Years" PORT PERRY STAR - Tuesday, September 17, 1991 - 29 " I n ral f thi r's team," rnacchi Cornish leaves Generals to further his education _ ByKelly Lown Clair Cornish has left the Oshawa Generals Camp to per- sue educational op rtunities. The 19-year-old Port Perry native made the decision to leave the club on Friday, Sept. 6, nine days after the Generals' training camp opened. "After considerable thought I have decided to concentrate on furthering my education in- stead of persuing a professional hockey career," Cornish said in a prepared statement. "I discussed it with my coach, and manager last week and on the weekend I gave the manag- er my decision," he added. Cornish said he has enrolled at Henry Street High School in Whitby for afternoon classes. He also told the Star that he has a co-op placement starting next week which he says will hopefully help him in his career . choices. / "I enjoyed my experience of playing with the Generals the past two years," Cornish said. Regarding Cornish's deci- sion, Wayne Daniels, the Gen- erals' director of hockey opera- tions was quoted as saying "it sort of caught us off guard." Clair Cornish He added "he's been around a couple years and he played well for us. He's done everything we expected of him." General coach Rick Cornac- chia told the Port Perry Star on Thursday the departure of Cor- nish was totally unexpected. Cornacchia said he expected Cornish, a third year forward to be a part of one of the club's top two lines this season. "We expected him to be anin- tegral part of our hockey team, and expected him to score 30 or more goals this season," Cor- nacchia told the Star. As for Cornish's reasons for leaving the Oshawa club, Cor- nacchia said he did not know. "He never saw fit to talk to me about it (his leaving)," he said. Cornish who played in the Port Perry Minor Hockey ranks prior to his appearance in Jun- ior A hockey scored 25 goals and 52 assists in 119 games for the Generals in the last two seasons. Gamblers finish season From Page 27 " with injuries since the Canadi- an Championships at Camrose, Alberta and Mark tossed a nifty two hitter at the Toronto Drift- ers en route to a 4-1 Gambler win. Brian Till had the big hit in the game as he belted a three run, bases loaded triple in the fifth inning to erase a Toronto 1-0 lead and then Don Beaton cashed in Till with a single to centre field. By Sunday the field had been reduced to four tears as Sault Ste. Mari¢, Winslow-Gerolamy, Mount Hope and Peterborough 1.C.G. had all lost twice in the double knock-out tournament . And the match-ups on Sun- day saw Greenbank vs. Baden and Scarborough vs. Toronto Drifters and the Gamblers came up flat as the Baden team (from Kitchener) caught Wayne Wells in an off game and dropped the Gamblers for their first loss. Scarborough then eliminated the Toronto Drifters by a 7-5 score and then Greenbank and Scarborough had to play in the semi-final to see who would op- pose Baden for the 0.ASA Double "A" championship. In a tensely exciting game Greenbank finally disposed of Scarborough by a 4-3 score be- hind the pitching of Mark Gore- ski. The lead changed hands four times before Rod Real's homer finally settled the issue. Don Beaton also homered in the game and Terry Till went three for four at the plate. Terry Till was the batting champion of this tournament as he hit a nifty .500 on the weekend. John Tait collected a total of four walks in the tour- ney and John Lodgeman and Dave Bacon excelled in the field for the Gamblers. This win put the Gamblers in the final against Baden and even though Greenbank took an early 2-0 lead in Terry Till's triple and Mark Goreski's home run, the heavy hitting Baden team kept picking away and fi- nally put the game away with a home run in the bottom of the sixth. Baden were full value for their 5-2 win which gave them the O.A.S.A. Mens Double "A" Championship for 1991. . Mark Goreski and Wayne Wells pitched well in this game but the under staffed Gamblers could not match the potent bats of the Baden team. So the bats, balls and gloves are put away for another year in Greenbank but coaches Ken Goreski, Don Phinney and manager Rod Foster will need some time to finish their scrap- books from a most exciting and memorable year for the Green- bank Gamblers. mmm m----------m me 1430 King Street 985-2234 New Ownership & Management in 1991 Get To Xnow Us Fall Special 2 green fees for the price of 1 (incl. twilight prices!!) plus 1/2 price power carts week days only "please present this coupon 20% off 1992 Memberships if booked before December 31, 1991 og Free Membership draw - call for details a on on on om mn nn nn ---- L Public Skating | at Scugog Arena Beginning Sunday, September 29 th from 2:30 - 4:00 pm Admission: $1.50 per skater (price includes GST) | Moms & Tots begins Wednesday, September 18 th from 9:00 - 10:30 am free admission MACKEY, BAILEY & KORB BARRISTERS & SOLICITORS Saturday Mornings - 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon 988-7391 Lake Scugog Lumber Building Oshawa Rd., Port Perry BLACKSTOCK FIGURE SKATING CLUB A Registration for the 1991/1992 Season Wednesday, September 25, 1991 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm at the Blackstock Arena For more information contact 986-0913 or 986-5243 any NAT =; = y = TNR 10 im Fred listens to CKLY.
