North Service Rd. W Futurekids #A10 COMMERCIAL POINT 481 North Service Rd. W. Unit #AÂ¥ 10 (between Dorval Dr. 4th Line) Here it is only June and Dan Gilpin is already being factored in as a key member of the 1993â€"94 Ottawa 67s. 4 Those are high expectations for a kid who was only picked in the fourth round of the Ontario Hockey League draft of midgetâ€"aged players less than a week ago. Sixteenâ€"yearâ€"olds, particularly defencemen, don‘t often see frontâ€" line duty in the OHL but Gilpin, an Oakville minor hockey product, has basically been told he has a job waiting for him when he heads to camp Sept. 4. ""We drafted him because we feel he can step in and play," said Ottawa coach and general manager Brian Kilrea. Of course, the 67‘s finished with the OHL‘s worst record last season and can use all the help they can get, as Gilpin is fully aware. Gilpin played rep hockey in Oakville up until a year ago, when skipped midget and made the jump to junior. But it wasn‘t with the hometown Oakville "It‘s better for me because it means more ice time," the Grade 11 student at White Oaks Secondary School said. "It means I‘ll be able to develop quicker." Working in Gilpin‘s favor is a) his size and b) the style of hockey he plays. At 6â€"footâ€"1 and 215 pounds, he plays it tough and simple, preferring to look after his own end first. Although Gilpin says he‘d like to improve his offenâ€" sive skills and learn to "read the play more," Kilrea maintains the 67‘s aren‘t worried about his point total. "He‘s a big, strong kid," said Kilrea. "We saw him early in the year, we saw him in the middle and we saw him late â€" he just kept getting better and better. "If it came time to clear the puck out, he‘d clear it out and if it came to block a shot, he wouldn‘t be afraid to block a shot." Gilpin gets call from 67‘s Pnd /_ Blades of the Central League. Rather, with Bramalea Blues of the Metro Junior Leacue. Gilpin suffered a separated shoulder while skating with Oakville midgets last summer and wonders if in the month he was off if the Blades forget about him. Whatever, after the shoulder healed, he began working out with the Blues because the Blades hadn‘t yet held their tryâ€"out camp. He decided to stay. The shoulder is now fine, he adds. In addition to thriceâ€"weekly treks to Brampton durâ€" ing the season, Gilpin recently moved to Burlington with his mother. Now he faces an even bigger move: Getting set up with a surrogate family and a new high school in Ottawa. "It‘s going to be a tough adjustment," he said. "It‘ll be hard to leave everything, my family....But this is something I‘ve worked hard for ever since I started playing." Gilpin briefly considered trying to earn a U.S. colâ€" lege scholarship but now says he‘ll attend university in Canada. Oakville wasn‘t entirely shut out, however: Marcia Mcintyre of T.A. Blakelock picked up a bronze medal in the midcet cirls triple The same held true for the White Oaks 4x100m midget boys relay team. Meanwhile, Kojo Aidoo of Loyola finished 13th in the midget boys javelin. Teammates Geoff Farrow (senior boys discus), Mary Ann Siriunas (midget girls javelin) and Darryl Curtis (midget boys 100m) failed to make the finals. No medais at OFSAA But the best finish was sixth place, recorded by White Oaks‘ James Padwick in the midget boys shot put. He had a toss of 13.43 metres. Eight White Oaks students and one from Loyola ventured to Oshawa on the weekend for the Ontario high school track and field championships.
