The Canadien Champion, Fniday, September 8, WS0 - A21 Young 'D' picks up family torch with IceHawks Pn-ccjollows in big bwothcrs footsteps with hometown club By Steve LeBlanc CANADIAN CHAMPION STAFF Milton has a fairly strong history of local siblings playing for their junior hockey club - a tradition Jeremny Price is only îoo happy to resurrect after a somewbat lengthy drought. .The I 5-year-old defenceman has taken the fîrsi step toward that, recentlv signing on witb bis hometown lceHawks as one of tbe tw-o 1990s allowed for each Provincial J r. A club.

Eclîoing those sentiments w-as the young blueliners for- mer coach, Hurrcanes skipper Mike Kalapaca, w-be stated, 'He definitely bas tbe potential te follow in bis brothers foot- steps. Hes very mobile and bandles tbe puck w-cIl" lceHawks bencb boss Pat Cocklin feels likew-sse. 'Jerem\vs got aIl the tools te be a solid jr. A player. He jusi needs te mature now" Hrlptng expedîte developmenî of the team's lone Mîltonian is a lîkely patning vitb bluelîne standout Evan Cambnidge Winterbawks wbom Pnice skated with for much of the pre-season. "Evan's definitely a great player and 1 think we can work well together," said six-foot, 175-pound Price, who begins the regular season tonight against former Hurricane team- mate Matt Clark, another 1990 Milton defenceman whos now with thse Brampton Capitals. "It would be great to, play wsth an experienced guy like him." Added Cocklin, "'m hoping te keep those two guys together, at least for a while. lt's better when the youngest defencemnan's witb someone seasoned. The experience usual- ly rubs off." An 11 th round draft pick of the Oshawa Generals, Price recogrnzes that he won't be enjoying.anywhere near the type of regular season success that bis big brother did last year - when the IceHawks lost just a bandful of games and spent most of thse season atop the national rankings. But being part of a young, inexperienced team bas one obvious advantage. "Being a rookie, l'mn coming into an ideal situation in termns of development. 1 sbould get a lot more ice time than 1 w-ould bave last year." Set te turn 16 later this montb, Price knows hes not geing te set the league on fire nigbt away but certainly plans on being more than just a w-arm body on the blueline. 1 can't just sit back and be a rookte," be said. "I've got te n'y te make tbings bappen and basically just be as effective as possible." New era for club begins tonight efroin CHALLENGING on page A19 needs righî now is somne offensive cohesion - w-bich bas been practically non-existant through exhibition play "Hopefully the chemistrv will come soon, because right now we're ail over the ice,- noted Heinz. Perhaps the one thîng in the lceHawks' favour this season is the fact that a few other Wýestern Conference clubs are in prettv much tIhe same boat as them - with the recentlv sold Derbvs in a total rebuild phase and both Bramalea and Buffalo expected te maintaîn their 'ave-net'status. Wýith that in mind. Cocklîn recognizes that well-devel- oped systems and a strong w-ork ethic could well be the dif- ference between a respectable finish around the middle of the pack and occupancv tn the division basement.
