Sabres captain Pal Fung was one of the players who helped team to the playoffs for the first time ever an a junior club will be Ovcraged next season cant play along with six others Including possibly Glenn Murray by Diana I asked the sports editor of our sister paper In Burlington at the game last week If he wanted the Cougars to win or lose At that point they were in danger of the game and the central Ontario jun B bestof seven quarter final series to the Acton Sabres and at that point he said to me Then I d have to write a piece on went wrong with the Cougars But alas and alack the Sabres lost while first place went on to take a 1 lead In the semi finals over Brampton But I don have to write a piece on what went wrong with the Sabres Thanks to Jutes Russian I must pack away my usual clever but biting witticisms and speak nothing but praise Not that the Sabres were perfect this season not by a long shot If they were I would presently be asking the sports writer of our sister paper in Brampton similar questions But how can you criticize a team that in one season climbed out of the Junior cellar wavering back and forth between third and fifth place finally settling In fifth broke all sorts of Sabre records most points In a season first junior team In playoffs longest undefeated record games and put leagueleading Cougars through seven gruelling playoff games before hanging up their skates also placed four players on team Mark Duval Glenn Murray Barry and Russian and picked up four league awards Trood for mo3t improved player Russian for coach of year Murray for most valuable player and Pat Tung for most sportsmanlike No one not even Russian could have predicted the Sabres success Back on Oct when the Sabres played their first home game of the season they already had lost three games to Brampton 101 to and 106 to Burlington They went on to lose Iheir first two home matches to Dixie and 5 But Russian signed goalie tier Wayne McDougall and suddenly Sabres t losers anymore Wilh the steady goal keep ing of Sabres went on to defeat tie 3 and blast Georgetown 103 all away games Sabres showed no mercy Thornhill Brampton Milton even Burlington fell beneath the mighty sword The only team Sabres didn t defeat Is Oak Ridges he best they could do is tie them In November Sure Sabres suffered through a mid season slump but they ended the year on an upbeat note tying Oakville 7 in the finals seconds of regular season Other happy notes through the year was the improved goaltcnding of Steve Kruk s signing seemed to spark Kruk who played well in several key games The line of Barry Trood Ken and Glenn Murray were Sabres main force scoring at least a point a game for several May I have the envelope please for annual Harolds by Diana the season for award

Charbonneau Later in the sea son Russian signed Tony to the delight of fans He a comedian as well as a defenceman The year also saw the return of David McGillowoy After leaving Newmarket Flyers in provincial Junior A suited for the Sabres Georgetown Gemini put up a fuss but the two teams reached an agreement after Gems received cash settlement McGillowoy also enjoys the distinction of being the only hockey player in history to score two goals at the same time back on November against Brampton With seconds left to play McGilloway scored During stoppage in ploy Sabres were awarded a penalty shot taken by McGilloway He connected with the clock still showing seconds When the Sabres drew the Cougars for the quarter finals most optimists were predicting Burlington in five maybe six But twice Sabres marched into Centennial Recreation Centre to snatch victory from the Cougars In enemy territory Sabres took a 3 lead in the series The rest Is his tory Next years edition of the Sabres will differ since seven players will be overage ung Trood Kruk Miller Roy Dollmnn Art Curric and possibly Glenn Murray will be gone Murray falls after the January deadline he won be turning until January 1002 Sabres are waiting to hear from But on the brighter side Sabres still have all of their defensive pairings as well forwards McGilloway Mike Denis and Don Brown And the still have coach who can probably whip any team into the play offs
