Is pulse Ever display most of your hockey knowledge to a friend about a favorite forward when some rink rat elder joins in to out recollect you on your player Its embarrassing The third fella usually moves in using lines of I remember so played defence in he Juniors with his brother Did HE have a shot He had one like a farmer turn It d bend just as it went into the net Feeling his superiority the intruder continues to dazzle you with unknown facts about the player you you knew inside out The player you thought always worked the right wing and his brother you never heard of before There a way to stop that feeling of being put on the outside especially when you re used to being on the Forget the forward who blue line with his brother and pick someone else or another team You could better still go one step further and work on a new team a team few have seen except in practice or exhibition matches The Junior Sabres is just such a group of players The Sabres have already played the first of the Ontario Hockey Association s central league game season It was unfortunately a los3 to Streetsville Derby but Sabres start Iheir home series here Friday when they host Burlington Sabres are the newest outfit In the central league They also hail from the smallest town in the eight team group and are therefore rated at least by Milton Canadian Champion as underdogs against Burlington Dixie Georgetown Streetsville Brampton and of course Milton Several town players who come up through the minor hockey ranks are on the team Billy McGilloway who played both Junior D and with Acton before turning B with is again with Sabres Robin Inscoe has landed net minder s chores with the He had the same job last year the the C club Dave Chapman JoeGardin Jamie the Buchanan brothers Bud and Steve Jeff Townsley and Kent Kentner are others The roster also includes former players Ed La nge and Bill as well as former George town Gem goalie Ken Eckroth and Misslssauga Paul and Reid Campbell Jock In the world of jock talk there seems to be more status in recalling plays than in reeling off goals for and against averages plus total goals for and assists plus other slats If one can describe a play such as Henderson first or second winning goals with Team Canada 72 everyone remembers he third Moscow goal your listeners will hold you in awe This Is especially Ime when one of the audience also remembers and so adds weight to your talc Well the same rule that works in the big leagues applies even better on the local front The minor hockey season starts soon with rep and Legion teams taking to the ice As a source of enjoyment and the inside as to who s demon a rating shinny savvy the minors can t be beat KlM Unfortunately there at least one team that you won be able to see In action this winter The Intermediate Swords received an economic kiss of death from Hal ton Hills general administration committee last week The Swords had foiled to turn up a sponsor for the new season and previously ihe OHA turned thumbs down on the Intermediates request to turn from C this season But it was the committee recommendation for the MO per hour on ice time instead of a split of the gate that done Ihe Swords in for this season at least Intermediate hockey has enjoyed a long and reasonably successful history here In the 193637 season Acton won group Number Three honors The town first intermediate squad played In the new arena during the campaign and clinched the group honors when economics benefit sport more than they do or under a different political set up
