a Frw Press October S Junior Sabres have new look with Denis Gibbons The Central Junior League will operate this year with four Junior C teams Acton Alliston Bradford and Penetang and three Junior D clubs Fergus Schomberg and Stayner Heres a sneak preview of the teams as I see them BRADFORD This is he year the Vaseys were supposed to bring Bradford its first Ontario junior championship The 7273 team spoiled those plans by winning the 0 H A Junior cham pionship last season a year early It will be no consolation to Central league teams to know that players return from that championship club Among them Les Kovacs goals Tom Coffey 28 and Andy finished in the top 10 in league scoring John Muizelaar one of the leagues best returns in goal and now Vaseys have a good backup man in Bernie Killoran from Sharon juveniles Adrian Van Hulst is back after attending London Knights Junior A camp and rookies Jeff Shaw andMark Hodgson have looked impressive in preseason play Vaseys only major loss was Don Stevens who is overage If anything we should be stronger says manager Bruce That statement is difficult to dispute and Bradford should finish FIRST ACTON Sabres have placed second last two years in a row but with most of the league ping to Junior the Sabre executive has finished a runaway first in off season recruiting Brian Beaumont Brampton Jr B Gene Milton Jr B Bob Georgetown juveniles and goalie Rick Tomkinson Georgetown midgets will be valuable additions to the roster along with at least a half dozen other promising newcomers The line of Gary Turfcosz goats Pete Morrison and Dale Fisher returns intact for their third year Goalie Rick Bonnette and centre Bill are back after good rookie seasons Biggest losses will be leading scorer John Snow 32 pts and reliable defen Ted Harmer For the first time Sabres are starting the season with a lineup of proven hockey players If they continue to produce Acton will be the most improved team m the league and should finish SECOND STAYNER When goalie Murray Lowe Don Parker goals and Terry Gowan went overage Siskins probably lost their three best players but many more good ones are returning Barry Corby who along with Lowe formed the most devastating netminding duo in the league is tough to beat even on off nights Greg Conn should be one of the leagues top sharpsnooters and Jim Bell Rick CoRer and Wayne Parker 10 will bear watching Gowans younger brother Rick who led the Midget finalists in scoring is a Siskin newcomer as are Steve Busby and Brian Falls Outside of Terry the entire Siskin defence will be back Stayner was one of the leagues best teams after Christinas last year This year the Siskins should get a good Jump and finish THIRD Notorious fast starters Hornets have been hampered this year by ice making problems in their arena Lost to overage from last years club are Ken Cowan 20 goals Jim Lusk 19 defenceman Bob Thompson a vicious hitter and Don Elliott Dave Hlrd has joined Barrie Jr B and according to Hornet officials prospects from the excellent Base Borden minor hockey system have been gobbled up by higher category teams Still the Hornet nest is not empty Returning Phil Stubbs and Mark are bound to sting attackers and Eric St Peters U Doug 12 Rob Owens and Larry are players Jamie Doane has the potential to be a topnotch goalie Alliston is looking at grads of a fine Beeton mtdet team Paul McKelvey who will manage the club along with John Fnesen also has a couple of aces up his sleeve Were awaiting releases for two players unnamed now he says When Paul speaks in those terms you know hes not talking about house league yokels Alliston should have enough to finish FOURTH The toughest thing in the world for a cub reporter to predict is the finish of a new league entry Hurons have played in Junior company for some time now yet they finished dead last in the Bowmanville Port Hope Lindsay league last year and were shellacked 152 by a game this year has five players returning for their third year including top scorers Duke Duquette and Roger Wayne Dupuis is a solid goal tender and overage midget prospects have held their own in practice It is a very real possibility that the shellacking was a one shot deal and that the Port HopeLindsay group is The proximity of Midland 2 miles away also makes Junior cuts handy to corral If these three guesses are correct could be a pennant contender However on the basis of what weve found out so far we can rank them no higher than FIFTH Prospects have a habit of escaping this tiny hockey hotbed which often leaves Cougar fans saying If we hadnt lost and we would havewhomped Tom Weedon has gone to Aurora A and Paul Bedard will play with Brock University Other Schomberg minor hockey can be found scattered among Junior A and teams across the province Eight Cougars also are overage including Roger Greene John Deen and Alex who combined to score 23 goals Number one Boris Kaminsky is still wearing an arm cast from last season and Dennis Brown who averaged a point a game has not at tended workouts With Doug Woods pts and Jack Taylor 26 returning a couple of big players from Bolton juveniles and Schomberg midget Cougars should have enough to escape the cellar and finish SIXTH FERGUS The Green Machine has steamrolted to two consecutive league pennants but its engineers have forgotten to stoke up for run number three The flying Fleming twins Sandy goals and Randy 32 and Terry Bolger 29 lave Acton Sabre will open their O A Junior hockey season Friday night In with el least eight new faces In the lineup Team
