The Capitals have been trying to find new talent for the upcoming season and have been players at different positions to find the right chemis' Itreflects in their 2-5 pre-season record. Glen Walsh head coach of the new team on the block and early favorite, Hamilton Kilty With nine players returning from last year, the Caps should have a good nucleus led by center Ryan Foster whom general manager Mike Cassidy calls the fastest skater in the league. - Goal scoring is not-a problem for the Capitals. Their pre-season included scores of 8-7 and a 9-8 come from behind victory over Bramalea in which they scored six straight after being down 6-3 after two periods. Derek Wells, a third year player who has Ontario Hockey League experience, will score his share as will Ronnie Watts and Doug Mann who are all back from last year. Defensively, the Caps will be led by third- year defenseman Rob Gail and Curt Lutz, who split time-with Oakville and Brampton last year. Robert Maxwell is a big blue liner who can clear out the front of the net. In goal, the Caps are led by Chris Billingsley who is solid, but they are still in search of a legitimate back-up. Strengths: team speed, power and muscle up front and a reported more disciplined team than last year. Weaknesses: lack: of a 50-goal man and the fact they are a pretty young team. "Promar Karate" INSTRUCTION FOR © HIL DRE N & ADULTS NORTHEND SALES SERVICE lege HWY. #25 & 878-4137 MILTON Trent Cull, 19, has returned to Kingston Frontenacs for his fifth year of OHL competi- tion, to bolster their blueline brigade, after failing to crack the Boston Bruins lineup. photo submitted Cull will keep plugging away By Mike Zrostek - A lot of young hockey players might view getting cut from a National Hockey League team as a big disap- pointment. But not 19-year- old Georgetown resident Trent Cull who was an early cut of the Boston Bruins in this years training camp. A 6-foot-2, 210-pound defenseman, Cull was down in Boston trying for a spot on the big league team but was cut last week and will be playing with the OHL’s Kingston Frontenacs, and isn’t disappointed at all. “T can’t look at it as nega- tive but instead, as a good experience,” said Cull. “ I felt like I had a good camp and they (Boston) liked me and were impressed with my play. They may be but- tering me up, but I’m look- ing forward to Tyne again next year. Cull says ne. didn’t want to play for Providence (Bruins farm club) because they already have 16 defenseman and that going to Kingston was an obvious choice. “T feel like I can play in the International — or American hockey league but I would rather go where I will play. In Kingston we should have a strong team that will challenge for the Memorial Cup, there will be better exposure,” said Cull. Cull who will be 20 at the end of the month, graduated from Georgetown District High School and played ali of his minor hockey locally, starting at pee wee and going all the way through the system to the Junior B Raiders (now Junior A). “A lot of local coaches helped me during my play- ing time here. but_one that stands out is Peter Sturgeon, who took a chance with me when I was 15, letting me play with the Raiders,” said Cull. After a year with the Raiders in 1988-89 Cull.was drafted by the Owen Sound Platers (then operating in Guelph) in 1989. In his sec- ond year Cull was traded to Windsor and then traded again to Kingston in his third year where he has played since. He will be heading into his fifth season in the Ontario Hockey League. - Last year with the assists along with 150 penalty minutes. € sees himself as a tough defenseman who can put some points on the board and who’s not afraid to scrap, qualities profes- sional coaches love to have in defenseman. As well as playing hockey this year, Cull is planning on taking some part time courses. at Queen’s University. To get himself set for the year Cull got involved in strength training over the summer. He’s planning on being an on-ice leader this ar for Kingston, which he feels will help him prepare for next year when he hopes Kingston Frontenacs, Cull to get another shot at mak- netted 12 goals and 28 ing the Bruins.

The former Erin (formerly Acton) Sabre who also saw playoff action with the then Georgetown Chryler Jr. B Raiders is entering his third season with the Centennials — coming off an all-star season last year when he scored 113 points (59 goals and 54 assists), good for 11th overall in the OHL scoring race. He also collected four major Centennial awards for his efforts last year and earned a spot on the OHL’s third all- star team Drafted in 1991 by North Bay, Shevalier finished his first year scoring 57 points (29 goals and 28 assists) as a second line winger before emerging into last year’s scor- ing star. ‘Shevalier was drafted by the 1993 Stanley Cup finalist Kings in the seventh round of the 1992 NHL entry draft and attended his first camp last year playing on a line with Luc Robitaille. This should be Shevalier’s last season with the Centennials as he is eligible to play with the Kings farm team in Phoenix, Arizona. The 6-foot, 195-pound Shevalier hopes to crack the.
