with the Georgian Bay Junior League We 11 be playing home and home games against Goderich Hanover Brussels Grand Valley and Mount Forest a total of games Steen said the idea to change to this format was first brought up by the Junior C League in April as a means of generating more public interest The whole league Is in a very positive mood about this It s the first time anything like this has been done as far as I know It should give us a lot more variety and make the season more in also the coach of the Sabres said the new system t mean the season will be any longer than the games it Is at present The Sabres will play just 20 games against their own dlvison The point system will be the sametwo points for a win and all that But the two will still play In their own playoffs not against each other unless they ad vance as champions Steen said the MidOntario teams were divided up bet ween the Western and Georgian leagues to allow for the most con venlent travelling The more northern
