has been very good Mike McNiven has been outstanding he said If necessary fourth game will be play ed Saturday evening at the Arena start ingat 30pm The fifth game would go back to Riverside Sunday Allstar balloting something to be desired The Ontario Senior A league has released Its allstar teams and a couple of the selections leave a few things to be desired First of all the league top was not listed on either the first or second all star teams Secondly one of Ihe defencemen selected for the second allstar squad played In only 13 of his learn a games Ihis season Cambridge Terry Thompson who led the league in average was second in least num of goals allowed 95 minutes played and lead in shutouts was beaten out for the first learn by Flamboro a Ken who was also named the league MVP EUacott was second behind Thompson in average third In minules played third in goals allowed and shutouts Even more disturbing was Thompson was beaten out of second team honors by Larry Lucas Lucas was ninth in minutes played tied for third ln shutouts and fourth overall in goals allowed per game 4 37 Now what does Thompson have to do In order receive Just recognition Cambridge set a league record for shutouts Doug Chessel had one before he left for the International league and Thompson set an individual mark with four The league saw fit to award the centre spot lo Cambridge John Vandergriendt who was tied with Bob Peace for the scoring race Peace like Vandergriendt a centre loo was named to the second team squad Seeing was named MVP it is no surprisehewaathefirstteamgoalle But why was Lucas named Ihe second team when Thompson clearly deserved Ihe selection more Lucas might be a fine goalie but Thompson made a more significant contribution this season and should have been rewarded for it The same argument can be made for the selection of Colllngwoods Rick Green to second team as a defenceman Green appeared In Just 13 of Colhngwood a games this year and should not have been given an allstar selection A more deserving player would have been Georgetown a Peter Sturgeon wbo played in more games had more goals to had more assists to 10 and overall scoring points 40 to 14 than Green Sturgeon had more of a dominating presence In the Senior A league than Green did In fact the other second team was a Jim Turklewicz who played in games had four goals 18 assists for points all inferior marks to Sturgeon Why Sturgeon was left off the allstar lilt Is a question that has no suitable answer For that mailer why was there not a member from Ihe Georgetown team on either team The Raiders were tops In goals scored and second In goals allowed and having Sturgeon on the second team would have been the best possible selection from the Raiders for an allstar position He is a fine defenceman who has the ability to dominate a game with his offensive skills as well as sound defensive play Yet Rick Green was named ahead of him Why That a good question The Senior A league prides itself as being a competitive circuit made up of quality players that provide fans with entertaining hockey If such Is the case the allstar teams should be made up of the best players not ones who are undeserving of a Us tar mention When such Inadequacies occur in the allstar selection one cannot help but shake his head and wonder EDITOR NOTESThe first team ailstar squad was made up of Flamboro in goal has league rookie of year and op defenceman Tom Searlc while a Wayne Smith was Ihe other Vandergriendt was at centre with teammate Todd Stark on left wing and Dave Peace on wing Lucas was the second team goalie with Green and Turkiewlci on defence Flamboro Bob Peace was a centre while Collingwood Tim Col ley was on left wing and Cambridge Carl Reinhart and Brooks tied for right wing
