Game MVP: Chris Rowan. Cham pionship G a m e ... Oakville 5, Michigan Ice Dogs 2 The third game of the day for both teams certainly tested the players' con ditioning and stamina. It was particularly tough on the Oakville side as they only started up two weeks prior, due to baseball and soccer conflicts; whereas many of their competitors had been going a full six weeks. The Ice-Dogs were last year's Quebec Tournament finalists, effective ly putting Oakville in the position of knocking off the two top international teams from last year in one day in one tournament. Once again, the Rangers proved their skating speed and hustle was the win ning combination as all three Oakville lines kept ongoing pressure on Team Michigan. Two early first period goals by Brad McKenzie gave the Rangers the confi dence and the breathing room to play their game and they executed it to per fection. Game MVP: Brad McKenzie. Following the match the players, coaches and families returned to Oakville and squeezed into a very busy Philthy McNasty's for a dinner and cel ebration. IC E CHIPS · the team, which opened their sea son last night in Burlington, is actively looking for sponsors to support the team this year. · The team is hosting an important Christmas tournament this year, and as reigning OMHA Champions from last year, are hosting this event in late March in Oakville. · this past weekend, ex-Leaf Nikolai Borschevsky headed a dynamite sixhour training session. Prime areas were utilizing their speed with more effective passing and a better understanding of the European style of play. Midgets kick season o ff with 5-1 win The O akville R angers triple-A m idget rep team opened their season with a 5-1 win over the host Halton Hurricanes. The Rangers clearly dominated with Jeff Brown leading the way with two goals and an assist, Mike Enns with two goals and Cory White with a single. Other key players for the Rangers were the goaltender, Nick Ball, and forwards Geoff Aselstine (2 assists) and Shawn Dakin (2 assists). Responding with Haltons only goal was Andy Strazdins. "This year's team was finalized only two days before the opening game and we are still waiting for two more players to be released from the Junior Blades", said new coach Peter Whitaker, who was very happy with the game results. "The team showed a lot of grit and determination as well as the one thing we're looking for, discipline." As expected, the team has gone through some major changes from last season, with only seven returning play ers: Nick Ball, Jeff Brown, Mike Enns, Mark Murray, Mike Zujko, Shawn Dakin and Ed Fiore. The team has been working closely with the Blades and has acquired four new players from the GTHL. Added are Ty Huggins, Geoff Aselstine, Eric Johnston and Steve Pinizzotto. Rounding off the team are four players from last year's AAA Bantams: Cory White; Darin Hockaday; Mark Blaney and Rob Hunt. The team has also signed second year midget Geoff Browne who did not play last season. The 2000/01 staff includes head coach Peter Whitaker, assistant coach Brian Huggins and manager Sue Aselstine. The team is off to a great start and the season looks to be a promising one.

Traditionally, hockey was only played by men, but here in Oakville the H o rn ets H ockey A ssociation gives girls and women of all ages an opportunity to play against each other. Girls hockey has never been more popular than it is today. The Hornets Hockey Association is expecting to register more than 550 girls at the house league and rep lev els, an increase of 23 per cent over last season. This translates into 27 house league teams and 10 rep teams with the season beginning on September 30. Once again, the rep teams will be playing in the North M etro G irls Hockey League against teams such as W hitby, M ississauga, North York, Stouffville, Etobicoke and Barrie. The house league, with more than 400 girls will be playing the majority of their games on Saturdays at Ice Sports Arena. "The key to girls hockey is fun," com m ented league president Tim Robertson. "The coaches, trainers and m an agers are dedicated volunteers who work hard to ensure that the girls have fun, play fair, play safe and develop as hockey players." The Hornets Hockey Association maintains its belief that hockey is an excellent way for a girl at any age to channel her energy in a healthy and positive manner within a safe environ ment. League registration is currently under way and the 2000/01 hockey season promises to be a great one for all of the Oakville Hornets.

Fall reg istration has begun at Academy of M usic for their famed Rock Band Program. In addition to their regu lar musical program s (teaching piano, violin, voice, guitar, drums and keyboard), Academy o f Music recognized the need among young sters for a creative outlet for their musical abilities in an exciting environm ent, hence, Rock Bands. W hile the Rock Band Program is fun and all the students have a great time perform ing, it's also an educational experience. It teaches them how their one instrum ent fits into the greater scheme, applying theo ry in a band setting. D irector Len Richter explains, "this program shows why you should study theory, enabling you to develop your own style and arrange your own m usic." Once a band is assem bled, there is generally 1 0 -1 4 weeks practice time, and then they perform before an audience. The bands participate in a num ber of com petitions across southern Ontario, in addition to play ing at fundraisers. Over the years they have played at a num ber of restaurants and bars, including Chris S teffler's Tw iggie's. Christ Steffler was the drum m er o f Platinum Blonde, a form er student of the Academy. He picks bands from the school to perform at his restaurant, giving pointers along the way.
