And just in time for the "second season," that twoâ€"game realignment that dictates who moves on to the playoffsâ€"â€"and which of the two championship games. Meanwhile, the volleyball and basketball seasons move into their final two weeks, while field hockey is down to the divisional semifinals today (Wednesday) at Queen Elizabeth Park. The biggest move was made by the Oakville Trafalgar junior footâ€" ball team. Unranked heading into the season and after two games (a win and a tie), the Red Devils dumped Milton 21â€"8, shooting all the way up to the No. 2 spot in all of Halton. Also moving way up was Q.E.

In 1989, he was elected a member of the Captains Club at the Memorial Tournament at Muirfield Golf Club in Ohio. Grimm, who lives in Willowdale with his wife Karen and two of their eight children, was on a business trip through Western Canada and could not be reached. Karen Grimm, who still works at the RCGA, said her husband was moved by the reception, particularly by the unexpected appearance of Stadler, one of the pro tour‘s bigger names. In an interview with the Beaver last year, Grimm said he would never forget his very first Open at Glen Abbey, in July of 1977. "I must have been out of mind," he said. "The course opened June 1, 1976, and the first Open was just a year later. We had only 35 or 40 members and from that we had to build a committee and hold a national championship on a course that was brutally youngâ€"â€"and we got away with it." Tennis Bubble. offers Blades hosted Burlington last night (Tuesday) and receive a visit from lastâ€"place Royal York Friday. The amount of upkeep and control needed to keep them running through the summer can be costly and timeâ€"consuming, he said. In Georgetown, the Blades also led 3â€"1 after the first periodâ€"on goals by Jason Slaney, Honchar and Matt Swainâ€"and 4â€"2 after the secâ€" ondâ€"on Cory Waring‘s goal. Honchar and Vassilli Spyropolous scored in the third as Oakville won for just the second time this season. Kalverda had two assists. "There are a lot of kids who just come out here for recreational purâ€" poses," said Young Every summer, the bubble is deflated and put away but there‘s not a lot of tennis taking place. The courts are all but closed in the summerâ€" time, "a shame," says Little. "But it‘s a whole can of worms (staying open vear round)." Against Brampton, _ Matt Honchar scored two goals and Roberts one to give the Blades a 3â€"1 lead after the first period. Meanwhile, Peel Regional Police confirm they are investigating a dispute between Blades newcomer Gord Kalverda and at least one member of the Capitals after a scuffle outside a Brampton fast food restaurant at 2:30 a.m. Sunday. Kalverda, a Brampton resident who was acquired from the Capitals in exchange for the rights to Danny DiGironimo on Thursday, was on his way home following the Blades‘ 6â€"4 victory over Georgetown. Blades have lost two playersâ€"Mike Roberts and Kent Wiiliamsâ€"due to automatic twoâ€"game suspensions stemming from the incident. Capitals‘ Roger Maxwell received five game misconducts durâ€" ing the altercation. He was reluctant to comment further, pending the investigation, but was enraged over the antics of the Capitals. "Hockey‘s a tough game but it‘s not a goon game," he said. "A team like that (Capitals) doesn‘t belong in junior hockey," he said. Capitals coach Dave Frost says his players skated over only after Oakville players started punching one of his players from the bench. Walker maintains the Blades started hitting back only after the entire Brampton team jumped the Oakville players already on the ice. The incident Friday was precipitated by a fight in front of the Oakville bench between the Blades‘ Phil James and Brampton‘s Britton Taylor. Brampton players left their bench to join the fray while Oakville players obeyed team rules and stayed put, Blades general manager Murray Walker said. OHA chairman Brent Ladds did not return phone calls yesterday but he told the Brampton Guardian that a threeâ€"man committee will be put together to look into not only Friday‘s game but longâ€"standing comâ€" plaints about the Capitals. A hearing could be held as early as tonight (Wednesday) in the wake of a wild melee that resulted in a total of 311 minutes in penalties, 172 to Brampton. Capitals won 4â€"3.

Little says the bubble is ideal for seniors who just want to play without the extravaganceâ€"â€"and costâ€"â€"of indoor facilities in Mississauga or Burlington. The bubble maintains a ratio of 80 players per court, he said, compared to about 100 per court at others. "We don‘t sell time," Little said. "We‘re in the business of keeping people happy."
