Sunday, April 9, 2000 Oakville Beaver Weekend 25 A to m A A (Continued from page 24) CBnoe and rugby clubs hold open houses next weekend The Oakville-based Bu rloak Canoe Club, which settled for a bronze medal last season after two consecutive gold at the national club champi onships, is hosting its open house next weekend, Saturday and Sunday (A pril 15/16), 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Despite Olympic gold medalists and many current elite international athletes in the fold, don't be intimidated. It's also very much a grass roots, community oriented group. New this year is Dragon Boat Racing. They'll offer it to club mem bers and to outside groups interested in accessing the club's equipment and expertise. C all the club at 338-8287. Garrett Ince, Justin W ilson-Kirby and Kevin Lee who each had goals. Assists were from Brett Thompson, M illigan, Mark Kingston and Joel Brooks. The series opened with O akville on the wrong end of a 7-6 overtime shootout. The lead went back and forth, with the Rangers scoring the equalizer late in the third, but to no avail, as Caledon replied in sudden death overtime. Goals for Oakville were from Justin W ilson-Kirby (2), Michael Scholz (2), Andrew Amodeo and Brett Thompson. Assists were from M ichael Lorenz (3), A li Robitaille (2), Matt Riddell (2), Fraser M illigan, Jam ie Beaver and Kevin Lee. Every team has a backbone of support -- from those on the front lines to others behind the scenes. Most prominent on the front lines is head coach Bob Lee whose stately pres ence behind the bench has influenced the players to be themselves and to be their best. His unwavering commitment to fair and descent hockey playing w ill be with the boys a long time (whether they w ill be conscious of this or not). Also on the front lines: assistant coach Dom inic Amodeo whose passion for the game became a motivation for the players to perform; team manager and interim assistant coach Nancy Brooks for under taking the often under-rated task of orga nizing and communicating whatever was in the players' best interests and for lend ing a calming influence on the bench; and trainer Dave Bandy for his professional and genuine care of the boys' physical and sometimes emotional well-being. Thank you Dom inic, Nancy and Dave. The atom A A Rangers are also grateful for the gracious help of the rest of their backbone -- their sponsors. The Oakville-based Crusaders rugby club, last season, had its top team reach the provincial championship in the top division before finally being bested by the Irish Canadians. But don't let that intimidate you. The Crusaders run a huge slate of programs with teams for virtually all ages and levels, for both male and female. Registration w ill be held next Saturday (A p ril 15) from 10 a.m. onwards. Meanwhile the club's top three sides are hosting exhibition action this Saturday (A p ril 8) against some teams from Michigan with the thirds on at noon, seconds at 1:30 p.m. and first-fifteen at 3 p.m. Come out and take a look.
