Shoot! That was the feeling of Oakville Blades general manager Murray Walker, in more ways than one, after a close 6â€"5 loss to the Brampton Capitals Friday night at Oakville arena. Over the first two periods, Oakville could muster only 12 shots on net as Brampton built up a 5â€"3 lead. After the second period, howevâ€" er, Oakville finally "got the mesâ€" sage", storming out in the third period and peppering the Brampton goaltender with 21 shots. It wasn‘t quite enough, as Oakville, which had pulled to withâ€" in a goal early in the third period, ended up trading goals with â€" Brampton near the end of the game with goalie Dave Dolecki pulled in favor of the extra attacker. The key, however, was that the message â€" to shoot more â€" carâ€" ried through to Saturday night‘s game in Georgetown as Oakville, on the strength of six straight secâ€" ond period goals, chalked up an easy 8â€"3 victory. The busy Blades were also back on home ice Tuesday night against Milton, and those results will be in Friday‘s Oakville Beaver. This Friday (Jan. 21), the Blades host "a vastly improved" Streetsville team. "The last time out, they (Streetsville) scored with 24 secâ€" onds left to tie the game after comâ€" ing off a big win against Burlington," said Walker. _ Even though all the West Division teams make the playoffs, Walker said the Blades have two reasons to round out the final few games on a high note. The first reason "is pride." The same pride, he said, that has steadiâ€" ly propelled the team all the way Oakville figure skater training for next year after eighth place finish in Edmonton By NORMAN NELSON Beaver Sports Editor After an eighth place finish at the national junior figure skating championships in Edmonton on the weekend, Oakville resident Scott Everatt is hanging up his skates. But only for a week and a half. Then it‘s right back into practice for next year. It‘s the final year of junior eligiâ€" bility for the 19â€"yearâ€"old White Oaks Secondary School (WOSS) student and there is no doubt about his goal. "I want to finish first," he said in an interview on Monday, moments Oakville Blades goaltender Dave Doclecki saw a lot of action in Friday night‘s 6â€"5 loss to Brampton. Blades General Manager Murray Walker wishes the Blades, which host Streetsville at the Oakville Arena Friday ~SPORTS Got to shoot to score night, would pepper more shots at the opposing goaltender. from seventh, where they lanâ€" guished earlier in the season, to its current lofty perch (prior to Tuesday‘s results) in third place in the eightâ€"team division. The second, more practical, reaâ€" son is so Oakville can have some say on who it meets in the playoffs. The playoff format, he explained, gives the higherâ€"placed team its choice of opponents, and Oakville is still in a battle for third place (which it temporarily lost to Brampton after Friday night‘s game) with "still a crack at second place (currently occupied by Burlington, with Hamilton in first place)." Friday‘s 6â€"5 loss against Brampton produced a rare penalty Sean Rice Scott Everatt after arriving from Edmonton. It was his first appearance at the nationals and besides finding the security very tight and the weather very cold, he said the whole experiâ€" ence was overwhelming. shot which Jason Slaney made no mistake on. What it didn‘t produce, said Walker, was the anticipated flood of players into the penalty box that has been the case "the last four or five times (against Brampton)." He credited the Ontario Hockey Association (OHA) for scheduling "senior referee" Ralph Sparks to call the game. The game showed, he said, that Brampton can be "a force to be reckoned with" when they stay away from "goon tactics." "I think they played a very solid game." Slaney, who scored on the penalâ€" ty shot, was the hot hand for Oakville, completing a hatâ€"trick. The highlight, he said, was "skating with all those people watching. You look up and there‘s people hundreds of rows up." On Wednesday, he finished ninth in the technical program, improving to a seventh place finish in Thursday‘s free skate. Training for the Edmonton event, he conceded, was affected by a broken ankle which he suffered during practice more than a year ago. Realizing his goal in Halifax in a year‘s time, he said, will "take a lot of training. It‘s ridiculous â€" anyâ€" where from four to six hours ( a day). A new way to play golf Greystone Golf Club is addressing the changing needs of golfing business executives with its new corâ€" porate Club Card membership program. Traditional golf club membership allows only the member to bring guests to golf. That is very limiting for the executive who may prefer to have clients enterâ€" tained by other staff members. Costly multiple memberships have been the only answer until now for those who want to golf at private clubs. Greystone‘s Club Card membership enables busiâ€" nesses to have one membership card. The cardholder is the member that day. Their golf is complimentary and the member pays the usual guest fees for clients, . friends and business associates. The Club Card allows unlimited clubhouse use for entertaining and for business meetings. "We think the Club Card is going to be very popular in sales oriented businesses and among professional and financial groups who entertain clients," says Irwin Blehm, general manager of this exclusive private club, located just west of Metro Toronto in Milton. "We are limiting this type of membership to the first 50 in 1994. They will also be able to book corporate tournaments at the club and will have first options to renew for 1995. Club Card members will be allowed four tee times a week with a maximum of 20 guests at ‘any one time," Blehm continued. Greystone Golf Club, which was fully opened in 1991, has completed its introductory opening phase and is now open only to annual members and equity ownâ€" ers. Corporate golf tournaments which have given the club excellent exposure and reputation are restricted to Mondays and Tuesdays only in 1994 to allow optimum club use by members. "It is through our innovative marketing and our ‘response to the needs of today‘s golfers that we are ‘becoming established and successful even through diffiâ€" cult economic times," says Blehm. "We always knew we had an ideal location, a great golf course and a spectacular clubhouse. Our steadily growing membership confirms that and we‘re sure the Club Card will fill another niche." Club Card membership for 1994 is set at $5,000 plus annual dues of $2,625, which includes bag storage and locker, backshop services and unlimited clubhouse use with no monthly minimums. Greystone Golf Club is located on the face of the Niagara Escarpment in Milton, just minutes from Highway 401. For further details, call (905) 338â€"4865.
