loop But the lack of teams docsn seem to have dampened the quality of play any In fact the lesser amount of teams has meant more quality hockey players being available thus eliminating the fringe hockey player from being able to solidly a spot on the roster Currently the senior league is home to such familiar names as Don Edwards Rocky Saglnuk Stan Weir and Fred League standings attest to the closeness of the league is on top with a record followed by Cambridge with a 109 mark Dun das is in third position while Thunder Bay Is in fourth Dundas has had some bad luck this year having dropped a pair of games in overtime However this year teams losing in overtime do manage to get It s a real competitive league Eyre said Outside of a few games all the scores have been close and they ve all been good games has a good club but we feel were at point where we re just as good Eyre said The two teams have met twice this But even if Cambridge does finish first in the league standings I yre expect a tikewalk to the league championship The league is just too even for anyone to think that he says Looking at it I foresee anyone be ing capable of beating anyone In the layoffs Thunder is strong at and if they eel Iht advantage they be tough while both and Dunitns teams loo I would ope were one of them in league final but anything can Eyre said While the Senior iguc presently is made up of Just the four teams and the brand of play us quite high feels there must be at least six lust giving a community a franchise because it has the financlul backing to do so Eyre said a new franchise must have the personnel to run it and especially have a general manager who can attract players think if a new team coming In have a good GM who can put a good team on the Ice that team Is in trouble Eyre said You tan find the people who have the money but you need to find the right people to run Look at what happened in Stratford Woodstock and Chatham byre is enjoying this season not only because Cambridge is doing well but also because he too having to work at two jobs at once The years Lyre was in Georgetown he assumed both the general manager coaching positions with the club like this better because I can concentrate on Just the one job not both Eyre said wondered how I did that for those years While being noncom mllal about Cambridge chances to win its third Allan Cup Eyre feels the signs are all there signifying the Hornets will be In the hunt including he signing of longtime Hornet defenceraan Brian Chricton in the new year John Gibson has been here since Day One and has been playing well Dave Hill is having a good year and Tom Gibson is playing better lhan ever The guys from Georgetown are doing quite well enjoying It in Cambridge From an organization standpoint this is their year of operation so they must be a good one We got a good crop of players a good ex and were getting good sup port from the fans Its unfortunate that things went the way they did in Georgetown because they had a good team and I feel we were on right right track Eyre said Novices have some tough luck The Casselman Fuels team took part in the Minor Novice Tournament with IS other teams from the Central Ontario area and had less than positive results In the first game against Dixie it was the first goal that turned out lo be the downfall The first period was relatively rough hockey for this age group with plenty of con tact mostly between the blue lines It was scoreless until Dixie got a goal midway through the second Then In the third Tim Van broke in on goal and Nathan Milne followed up to put the rebounding puck into the net The teams went ir a five minute overtime period with the winner being decided by a sudden death score or on the basis of which team had scored the first goal in the game Close docsn count and after five minutes it was still 1 1 so the went on to the Consola Hon side of the schedule Andrew kept Dixie off the with several good saves and some key ones in the overtime was the opposition in the second game as they d been beaten in overtime Both teams Peewees take home puck split Nurseries A a finished the week before Christmas Willi a win and a loss Travelling to Burlington Wednesday night Georgetown came out on the losing side with Chris Bums netting both goals assisted by Jeff Tim Craig Juby Greg Dawson and Calude Johnston Hosting Orangevlllc Sunday night the locals playing with three boys away came out flying scoring five goals in the first two periods one in the third and allowing Orangevlllc only three goats in the third period assists in the game were Dawson Bums with two Chad Hart man Brad Tutt and Peter Lee were Joke Poulstrup with two Tutt and Jeff Saunders were hungry but Markham scored first Within a minute Gary McNivcn put one in unassisted after a goalmouth scramble Two goals in the second put Markham out in front and it was late in the third when Robert Walsh wove his way in from his defense position to belt most of the Other team and bring the score 32 Markham scored even with an extra forward plenty of pressure the pull out a win Even though the results were disappointing the other teams took of the breaks got while Georgetown seem to get chances lo capitalize on CAR BRINGS YOU LIFES LITTLE PLEASURES Car total Appearance Canter has more Plus Tidy Car features a full line of
