By NORMAN NELSON Beaver Sports Editor WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1994 PAGE 16 %he Oakville Blades opening night was a success â€" both E. on and off the ice. General Manager Murray Walker, who has been involved with the team more than a quarter of a century, termed it "the best opening night crowd in 20 years." % He estimated it at upwards of 1,300 people and they watched a successful performance on the ice as the Blades downed the Burlington Cougars 8â€"6. On Saturday, the Blades kept the party going, notching their second successive victory, against one loss, with a 7â€"4 decision in Georgetown. After last Saturday‘s season opening 10â€"5 debacle in Milton, Walker agreed the two weekend Doll House Kits "Over 50 different in stock!" to the following readers who were winners in our draw and sent in their votes!

Jason Slaney holds the hot hand with four goals and three assists in two weekend wins wins were "important in terms of giving the kids confidence in themâ€" selves." The Blades will play another two games in two nights, traveling to "dreaded Brampton Arena" (as Walker quipped) on Thursday night and hosting the undefeated Streetsville Derbys at Oakville Arena Friday night (usual 8 p.m. start). Walker had admonished the Brampton team on several occaâ€" sions last year for not sticking to hockey. Now under a new coach â€"former Blades player Frank Caravelle â€" Walker said "I‘ve heard they‘re trying to clean it up." As for Friday‘s home game PARKING â€"At Rear against Streetsville, he‘s predicting a classic showdown. Streetsville may have finished in sixth place last year, but they made a lot of noise in the playoffs, knockâ€" ing off heavily favored Brampton and taking the eventual divisional champions â€" the Hamilton Kilty Bees â€" to a full seven games in the divisional semiâ€"finals (Oakville also took Hamilton to seven games in the divisional final). This year, Streetsville, which opened the season with two succesâ€" sive wins, "have got 14 kids they had on the team last year." Friday‘s home opener went off with such a bang that the players appeared to be still dazed when the puck dropped for real. "Certainly, the kids were awestruck," said Walker. This is the first full year of the Blades affiliation with the town‘s minor hockey program, and the new management team "certainly did their part," said Walker. "Everything was professionally done." Winstars seek national title this weekend in Etobicoke Among the highlights was the appearance of Toronto Maple Leaf defenceman Todd Gill and goalâ€" tender coach Rick Wamsley for the opening faceâ€"off; an honor guard for the players comprised of the award winning precision skaters; and the first home appearance by the new Blades mascot, Blade Runner. Oakville‘s provincial champion underâ€"17 team goes after the national crown this weekend in Etobicoke at Centennial Park. Nee e The Oakville Winstars, who knocked off Whitby Celtic 4â€"2 in the Ontario Cup last month, play three successive preliminary pool games on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. _ ols 12 oo d t If all goes well, they will then play in the championship game on the Thanksgiving Monday holiday, 1 p.m., in the main stadium. The Winstars open the tournament Friday night, 8 p.m., on Field E against the Manitoba champion Winnipeg Kilcona Strikers. Game two kicks off Saturday afternoon, 1 p.m., against Nova Scotia champion Dartmouth United Just For Kicks and game three is set for Sunday afternoon, 5 p.m., against Quebec champion F.C. Outaouais (both games in the main stadium). The Ontario girls are also represented by a Halton team â€" Burlington Magic. They play Friday night, 7 p.m., against Newfoundland champion St. John‘s Beresford; Saturday morning, 11 a.m., against Saskatchewan champion Regina Nationals; and Sunday afternoon, 3 p.m., against Alberta champion Edmonton Southwest United Hammers. n e e The Blades responded to the preâ€" game hype by promptly scoring in their own net at the 33â€"second The bottom line, though, was that the Blades fought back all night, overcoming deficits of 3â€"1, 4â€" 2 and 6â€"5, to post the allâ€"important first victory over a previously undeâ€" feated team.
