ex of the Midland Juniors Don Hutchison from Owen Sound Blair Hough two other veterans and new comer Dennis Bond from Junior John Mathews George Wilson Tim Abbot Doug Kerr and veteran Burgess make up

Jack Bell Stamford Brad ley Peterborough Friday and won handily Prospects for a competitive could be Hardy Cup win last April IS news situation this season The third place club from last year will again have year veteran left winger Jim McKinnon back to lead tbe offence His points on goals lied him with Dean Neu mann who wont be back Work commitments will prevent his return Back on the bright aide centre Steve points In will again lead the first line with and Peter Dertoid as bis probable line mates There Is no coach for this dub as yet and manager Kerry has do Idea when one will be named Murray Cobean who retired this year will act as assistant coach and take the club until suitable bench boss can be wrung out of ihe bushes somewhere The are not all a big problem however and other teams will be sorry to hear that Dave is bock in nets for the club The talented puck stopper played games for Port Elgin in and his relatively high goals against average belled his fine play much of the time with nagging injuri es He is still one of the top three keepers In the league with Midlands Craig Watson and Clyde Harris Defensively there are problems at the which will probably mean Dour Mitchell a winger of his career there A number of question m in Midland Athletics Midland Athletics pushovers in their first year average In year two are a team to be reckoned with this season If early indications mean anything For the first time ever the dub actually skated away from someone dur ing their first exhibition game in scoring three third period goals to win big story this year is tbe possible reuniting of the Triple Crown which played two years ago for tbe Junior Penetang Kings The three wingers Doug Gillespie and Carl Cowan and centre Wayne Dixon were in on all five plus six assists Cowan Is Vie question mark as with one year of junior eligibility left a deal will have to be worked out with the Kings for his services Also on the big plus side is the rebuilding of the defence Goaltender Craig Watson proved himself the most keeper in the league last year but suffered from a stow defence This year former juniors Terry King and Terry Cameron the return of Bruce Guthrie from the International League and a slimmed down Kagh Robertson will make a big difference Leading scorer Ken is back and look ing hungry as Is Terry Spiker spiritual leader and second leading scorer On the down side former Wayne King will miss the first month of the season with an ankle injury and when he returns will go back to his regular right wing When coach Bob opened the door to St Arena In early Sep tember to begin bis first full season at the helm of Barrie Flyers a fresh breeze of optimism cir culated around the arena rafters With a fresh start and a new crop of players the new Flyers bench boss may just be the man to turn the clubs fortunes around Of course the Flyers have nowhere to go but up after a dismal year last season Somehow they managed to miss tbe playoffs in a league in which six of seven teams qualified for poet season play A rebuilding program starts between the pipes The Flyers have acquired Clyde Harris and Randy Jackson from the defunct Terri ers to battle Barries Mike for the Job If Barrie is to keep its Herald photo goals against average down they will have to follow well system and rely on a defensive corps that includes Incumbents Larry Trot
