TRIVIA ANSWER -- Bill Walton of UCLA in 1972 as a sophomore and in '73 as a junior, SPORTS The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, March 13,1991 7 BRHL STANDINGS Lucky Coin Brings OT Win _ _ oi 0 y*a i :.iot of- Trevor Low and Greg nlavers along the bent by Brad Kelly As strange as it may sound, the Eagles can thank a lucky coin'from North Carolina Carolina for their double overtime overtime win on Sunday. And word has it that a fan named Pete will be asked to make several more trips south of the border in search of the rare coins. Facing the possibility of falling behind 3-1 in their best-of-seven series with the Uxbridge Bruins, the Eagles pulled out a 3-2 victory in double overtime on Sunday night at the Recreation Complex. The win evens the league final series at two wins apiece, with game five of the series last night (Tuesday) in Uxbridge. The all-important sixth game of the series will go tonight tonight (Wednesday) in Bowmanville Bowmanville at 8:30 p.m. It was a case of deja-vu as last week's hero in double overtime of game one, was this week's hero as well. Shane Armstrong shovelled shovelled a rebound following a Dean Baumhauer slapshot past Brian Hamden 1:27 into the second overtime to give the Eagles the win. The goal was a power play marker, as the Bruins' Chris Winn was called for roughing following a collision collision with the Eagles' Drew Allenby at centre ice. Should the Eagles advance advance past the Bruins, Armstrong Armstrong is in possession of a souvenir coin that he will gladly donate for the flip to decide the home game in the next series. During a party on Saturday Saturday night, he approached an Eagle regular for some change, and was given a Good Luck Souvenir Coin from South Carolina. He credits taping the coin to his shinpad as bringing him the luck to score his second second overtime goal of the series. series. "I saw Dean halier' keep it in (Baum- at the point, and I just stayed at the net until he shot it," recalled recalled Armstrong with the same huge smile that he .wore a week ago after scoring scoring in double overtime of game one to give the Eagles a 9-8 win. "I got the rebound and just flicked it up at the net." The soft shot eluded Hamden and trickled in over the line. "We had our backs to the wall tonight, and the players knew that before the game," said coach Mike Noonan. "I told them that if we didn't win tonight the season could be over. To win two in their (Uxbridge's) building would have heen tough." Brad Robinson and Glen Campbell, on the power play,, had the other Eagle goals! Armstrong garnered an assist on both of the third period goals. Both goals were originated from Baumhauer Baumhauer slapshots from the point. £ Trevor Low and Greg Cook replied for the Bruins who held a 1-0 lead from the midway point of the first period period until the start of the final final frame. Robinson broke Hamden's Hamden's bid for a shut-out 1:53 into the third period when he controlled a loose puck in front of the net. Low put the Bruins back on top with a breakaway oal, but Campbell evened 1 e score on the power play when he deflected Baum- hauer's low shot from the point. The two teams played a cautious first overtime period, period, with neither side mustering mustering any good scoring opportunities. opportunities. It appeared for most of the third period that Uxbridge Uxbridge were in control of the outcome of the game. There was a feeling among the Eagle Eagle faithful that the series was starting to slip away from them. The players shared the same feeling. "When it was 2-1 a lot of the guys were down," admitted admitted Armstrong as he conveyed conveyed the feeling of the bench, lot . of nobody players alon, "Everybody has a heart though, and gave up." "We tried to stay up between between periods (during the second intermission when S trailed 1-0) and every- was saying that if we lost this game, we'd be in big trouble." "I thought if we lost we were pretty much done. It was a big win, that's for sure." The game was a reversal from game three on Friday night in Uxbridge when the Eagles came up with a lacklustre lacklustre effort in a 7-2 loss.

Sand&Gravel 6 6 2 14 Nichols Motors 3 5 2 8 McGregor's 0 12 1 1 Writer Praises BRHL Coaches Dear Editor: I am a mother to a son who is a four-year member of the Bowmanville House League and, recently, Peewee Peewee Selects. My son has experienced experienced all the highs -- the taste of victory ana the satisfaction satisfaction of knowing that he has played a good game. And he has experienced the lows - knowing that he at times could have given just a little more and having to make, restitution with -his own conscience as a result; learning to accept his limitations limitations and taking more than his share of poorly-called penalties; knowing that he must respect the judgement and authority of the referee at all times, right or wrong. This year, my son has had a generous taste of being being 'That Big Kid'. You know the one I'm talking about, there's one on every team. He's the boy who nag had the misfortune of growing noticeably taller than the rest over the summer. The one who takes all the elbowing elbowing penalties simply because his elbow appears to deliberately deliberately meet the smaller opponent's opponent's face. He's the one that everyone expects big things from. It's an unasked for, and most times, cruel pressure. pressure. I have set my posterior down on ice-cold bleachers from fall to spring to watch my boy try to emulate the Great Gretzky. All the time, I am holding my heart in my mouth in fear for his emotional emotional and physical safety. ' I have had to pretend not to notice the tears in his eyes as he struggles to 'take it like a man' and 'shake it off through all of the aforementioned aforementioned injustices. I have had to watch my son's love for the game begin to die because because of jealousy, politics and over-eager parents' petty petty tantrums. I need not elaborate on the incident at the Oshawa tournament that my son' was involved in. I'm sure all the hockey parents have been made aware of what happened through one source or another, and each of you have formed your own opinion of what you saw, or heard first, second or twen- . ty-first hand. At this point, you may be questioning my motive for writing this. It is not to make an issue out of my son's misfortune, but to convey convey my heartfelt gratitude to a pair of young men who contribute countless hours in the arena enriching my son's life with their guidance and leadership. They give my son a reason to put his skates on after he has sworn that he'll never play again, and give him the courage to face all that has happened in the past and all that may arise in the future. They treat him with respect ana, in return, have gained his respect. They listen to what he nas to say with patience and understanding. They play him extra shifts when he's hot and bench him when he's not. They do both in such a way that he feels he's an important part of the team. • They believe the lads in their care are valuable, vital human beings and teach them that no matter what their faults may be, they still deserve to be heard. They have a magnificent rapport with the boys, never hesitating to see the humorous humorous side of their bed planted full of chicken bones, chips and pizza remains in Buffalo. Buffalo. They understand when tempers can't be controlled for one minute longer, and reinforce the boys' right to their emotions by never hesitating hesitating to put their own reputations reputations on the line in defence defence of their players. They have no sons involved involved in the sport. Their dedication to our young people people is their only reason for giving so unselfishly of their time. Coaches like them more than make up for all the downfalls that occur during a hockey season. A1 Sandison, Scott Brunt...I salute you. The BRHL is a much better place because of men like you.
