Final score: Liberty Liberty Mutual 3, National Trust 2. During an informal sports rap here at the paper last week, our conversation conversation turned to minor hockey. And it got me wondering: wondering: What do some parents parents believe is their responsibility responsibility to their kids when they sign them up to play hockey? After the essentials are provided for little Johnny or Suzie -- equipment, registration fees, etc. - do parents believe that their responsibilities are over? Some do. And, thankfully, some don't. The main focus of our conversation was the role some parents take when game day arrives. Oh, it's easy enough to drop the kid off at the local rink and pick him back up afterwards. afterwards. But what about the away games? Back when I was playing playing minor hockey in Newcastle Newcastle Village, the same problem always cropped up when we had an away game. As sure as there'll be snow for Christmas, you could always count on at least five or six players needing a ride to the game. And, as the season wore on, there would always always be the same players who would need a ride to every game. And it was always the same five or six. No matter where the game was, or how far away, it was always the same guys who needed a ride. Based on our conversation, conversation, very little has changed from when I played. Only the names of the kids who need a ride to every game are different. Back when I was playing, playing, our team was fortunate fortunate that one of the mothers was a driver for Charterways. I can recall countless trips to playoff games and tournaments when we would all load up the bus and arrive at the rink together. Although trips to places places like Beaverton and Fenelon Falls fall short of the distances teams in the AHL travel, it was as close as we got to getting a taste of life in the big leagues. It also made it convenient convenient for those parents who, for one reason or another, another, couldn't be one of the volunteer drivers to an away game. The bus was a convenient mode of transportation for their kid. The only inconvenience inconvenience for them was that a* small fee was always;! charged. It was an expense they' didn't incur when their kid hitched a ride. Times haven't changed all that much, as there will always be a group of kids in search of a ride. Probably they never will change. What has changed, though, is the price of gas. Teams travel a lot farther, and play a lot more games than in years past. This, in turn, means more money shelled out at the gas pumps for those who drive. It's unfortunate that some parents are being penalized for taking an interest in their kid's life. The cost of registration and equipment is hard enough to raise, without becoming a charity driver for some other kids on the team. The parents who absorb absorb the cost of travel for . away games deserve bet- ; ter. ;I Florists Win Congratulations to tne Atom Carnation Florists for, their superb playing on Saturday, Saturday, November 24, when > they brought down the first ; place team, 401 Esso, by a, score of 6-1, and in turn ' moved themselves into first , place overall.

' Toros Down Manvers in 5-1 Contest by Ken Nesbitt On Tuesday, November 20, the Toros had an opportunity opportunity to even their second regular season match-up by beating the Manvers hockey team. The game proved to be very exciting for the fans. I felt this game to be the Toros' Toros' best yet in this early season. The Toros beat Manvers Manvers 5-1. Getting on the scoresheet were: Jason Hoffman one goal and one assist; Jamie Sellers one goal and one assist; assist; Brett Rogers two assists; assists; Mike Nesbitt one goal; Doug Parkins one goal; Craig Lockhart one goal; Jeff Darrach one assist; Chris Heffernan one assist; and Derick Honeyman one assist. Great effort by all players on the team and with some great goaltending by Adam Adams. The Toros travelled to their first tournament of the season only to have some disappointment after discovering discovering the teams participating participating were 'A' teams. Still, as tournaments go, the boys were able to have fun and play hockey, losing all three games. The MVP's for the tournament tournament were Adam Adams (first game), Brett Rogers (second), Doug Parkins (third). There was only one mishap throughout the tournament, tournament, as Chris Heffernan broke his hand, leaving after the second game. After phoning him on Sunday night, he's already talking an early return. At this time I would like to welcome two new playersi to our team, Jason Hoffman and Jeff Murphy. Welcome aboard! Goodyear Eagles Record 12th Victory Of Season by Brad Kelly Trying to match the Eagles Eagles man-for-man on any given night is almost an insurmountable insurmountable task. Give them an advantage, particularly a man- advantage situation, and visiting teams might as well bring a shovel with them to the games. They are sure to be buried. The Ajax Axemen can attest attest to that. Scoring five times on the powerplay Sunday night at the Recreation Complex, the Eagles defeated the visiting Axemen, 6-5 in a Central Ontario Junior C tilt. A great deal of heart by the Axemen, coupled with some suspect defence by the Eagles, made the outcome of the game much closer than it should have been. The Eagles held two-goal leads four times in the game (2-0, 3-1, 5-3, 6-4), only to have the Axemen pull back to within one. On two occasions, occasions, when the Eagles opened up a two-goal lead, the Axemen scored within 50 seconds to get back into the game. EAGLES 6 AXEMEN 5 Nick Dennis led the Ea gles with a pair of goals, while Dean Baumhauer, Steve McCrae, and Gareth Stone had singles. Stone's goal was the only one not to come on the powerplay. Justin Moore with two, Scott McLean, Rod Norville, and Kevin Kearns scored for the Axemen. The Eagles led 2-0 at the end of the first, and were tied 3-3 after two periods. "Our powerplay worked well tonight," understated Eagle coach Mike Noonan, following his twelfth win of the season. "It's the first time we used Dean (Baumhauer) (Baumhauer) up on wing for the powerplay and he caused some trouble for them (Ajax). With their focus on him, the others can wheel and deal." "Give them credit though, they came back. Every time we got up, they would sneak a couple of goals in. It was a tough win." If the character of a hockey hockey club is based on tough wins, then the Eagles are showing they have plenty of it. It was the fifth time this season they have won by a single goal. Seven of their twelve wins have come by two goals or less. For Ajax coach Larry La- ! playi e.

"It's the same old story. We have a talented but young team. We don't have the big line that can go out and get us a goal when we need it. Eveiything we get we have to work for." Entering the third period tied at three, Campbell's goal on a tip in, the fourth in a row on the powerplay, regained regained the lead for the Eagles. Eagles. Stone increased the lead by two when a pass from Brad Robinson from the corner corner deflected off of him, and somehow dribbled through Ajax goalie Mark Acaim. Moore brought the Axemen Axemen to within one with 12:19 remaining, but Dennis' Dennis' powerplay goal with 4:33 left in the game once again restored the Eagles' two goal bulge. Ajax answered back just 1:22 later when Kearns deflected deflected a shot past Ian Cooper Cooper to pull within one. The best chance for either team in the final three minutes minutes of the game belonged to the Eagles. With the Ajax goalie down and out of the play, Stone fired two shots at the net that were stopped by one of the defencemen standing in the crease. Ajax were able to get Acaim out of the net in favour favour of an extra attacker in the late going, but were unable unable to gain control of the puck in the Engles' zone. Over the past couple of games, the Engles have shown an improvement in their play, and continue to make strides towards reaching reaching the level of play they are capable of. "Pvo said before that this league is more difficult than people think," said Noonan. We're,fortunate to have a little room in front of the standings, and arc winning the tough games." "I think we're playing better, and the last two games have shown that." The Eagles may enjoy a lengthy stay on top of the standings. They didn't face second place Lakefield in November, and will not face them in December. The two teams will, however, face each other four times in January, January, the final month of the season.
