We tried to keep the flow g. We’ve never been deluged like that before.” Part of the reason may have been a warning by the gue that it can’t grow much beyond the 2,400 boys and ls it had in its programs last year because of a scarcity of parks in Oakville, and that it may have to cut off some program if they reach capacity. The league, at this point, has yet to sort through the first deluge of registrations in order to determine the remaining spots in the various divisions. But that will be done well in advance of the second registration which is set for February 19 at T.A. Blakelock Secondary School on Rebecca Street from 9 am. to 4 pm.

Oakville fell behind early in the game, fighting for a tie early in the second, only to find themselves behind 63 at the end of two periods. Despite odds that seemed insurmountable. this ‘never say die‘ team came out screaming in the third period, totally dominating an overly confident Orangeville team with fast, hard skating and tenacious checking, tieing the game up at 7-7 late in the third period. Orangeville then scored the goâ€"ahead goal on a late and questionable call against Oakville, and put the clincher into an empty net. A very hot Smart Brown once again came up with a determined all-out effort, picking up a hat trick and an assist T\vo of his goals were tying goals in the third period. Other goal scorers were Andrew Holman, Dan Whiting, Mike Probyn and Mike Purcell. Also picking up assists were Robert Payne, Mike Purcell, Robert Kapuscinski, Dan Phillips and Stephen King. ATOM “AA” Oakville 5, Brampton 3 (clinches first round play- off series '3-1): The National Cellular Rangers won their first best-of-fiveplayoff series with three con- secutive victories after dropping the first game in overtime. An end-to-end rush by Greg Carr put Oakville ahead 4â€"3 in overtime of game four, and Mike Folland’s empty net goal iced the game and WEDNESDAY: FEBRUARY 9, 1994 Page 15 TS The Oakville Blades were right where they wanted to be last night â€" at home against the Milton Merchants in the opening round of the Provincial Junior “A” hockey playoffs. The game went beyond the Beaver’s Tuesday evening press deadline, and the result will be in Friday’s paper. ‘ The series, which alternates home dates, shifts to Milton this Friday (8 pm.) with the next home game at Oakville Arena this Sunday (7:30 pm). Game Four is in Milton next Tuesday (Feb. 15), and the remaining games, if necessary, are as follows: Game Five in Oakville on Friday, Feb. 18 (8 pm), Game Six in Milton on Sunday, Feb. 20 (7 pm.) and Game Seven in Oakville on Tuesday, Feb. 22 (7:30 pm). The Blades did their part to win home ice advantage by defeating Royal York Rangers 4-3 in Friday night’s season finale at Oakville Arena. The Blades also needed the good fortune of Streetsville citing out a 5-4 victory in Milton, also on Friday night. That allowed Oakville, which finished the season with a 25-15-2 record for 53 points (one point is awarded for an overtime loss), to edge into fourth spot, one point ahead of Milton which dropped to fifth place with a 24162 record for 52 points. In other match-ups, first-place Hamilton (66 points) chose last place Royal York (3 points), second-place Burlington (58 points) chose seventh-place Georgetown (17 points), and third-place Brampton (56 points) took sixth-place Streetsville (39 points). During the regular season, Oakville and Milton played each other to a dead heat with three victories apiece. Besides a blowout for each team, Oakville general man- ag'er Murray Walker said the teams were otherwise “very close, very competitive." Milton, he said, is not a team that will beat you with fancy dipsy doodling. How they will beat you, he said, is through no-nonsense, lunch bucket hockey. While Oakville has its share of talented players, he said they still need to stick to a disciplined, team-oriented style in order to be successful. Such a style, he said, reversed a horrendous 1-6 start to the season and helped end a nagging late-season swoon. . 1n Friday’s season ending finale, Matt lnterbartolo scored the lone third period goal â€" his second of the game, along with an assist â€" to seal the 4-3 victory for OakvilleMatt Swain also notched two goals and an assist. Andrew Shortt and Mike Roberts each contributed two assists while single helpers went to Matt Swain, Cory Waring and Jud Richards. series. Other goal scorers were Travis Sutherland, Mike Hamel and Brent Wells while assists were recorded by Adam Hockaday, Will Barlow, Matt McChesney, Ryan Fitzirnmons and Carr. Games two and three of the best-of-five series were won 3-1 and 4-2, respectively, while the opening game was a 3-2 overtime loss.

Brampton 4, Oakville 3 (Feb. 4): Brampton tied the series at 2â€"2 with a determined effort. Rangers offence didn‘t generate many scoring chances and the defence played poorly.
