Local Teams May Become Part of Metro Toronto Hockey League There is a distinct possibility that Bowmanvillc could become part of the Metropolitan Toronto Hockey League (MTHL) in the future. The Canadian Amateur Hockey Association has held discussions over re-aligning the boundaries of the Ontario Minor Hockey Association Association (OMHA), of which Bowman- ville is a part. There is an indication that the MTHL's boundary could extend as far east as Bowmanvillc The OMHA, however, has the right to deny such a move. Even if it is decided that the extension extension will come this far, "nothing will take effect this year," said Bowmanvillc Bowmanvillc Minor Hockey Association President, Paul Jackman. The danger in re-zoning this area under the umbrella of the MTHL is the possible demise of the newly- formed Central Ontario 'AAA' Wolves. Bowmanvillc, Newcastle and Orono are three of 21 centres who will combine to ice teams from novice to midget for the 1992-93 season. In an announcement earlier this spring, an organizer of the Wolves granted Bowmanvillc the major bantam bantam team, while Newcastle and Orono Orono will share the major atoms. Lindsay, Lindsay, Little Britain, Cannington, Woodville and Oakwood will provide provide home arenas for the remaining teams. Pair of Losses to Eastdale Leaves BHS out of Playoffs by Brad Kelly There was a huge sigh of relief heard in this area after the Bowmanvillc Bowmanvillc High School and Eastdale doublchcader played last Thursday afternoon that closed out the LOS- SA baseball season. But the sigh didn't come from either Bowmanvillc or Eastdale. Rather, it was players from Courtice Secondary School who were breathing a little easier. Bowmanvillc, needing one win in cither of the two games to grab the fourth and final playoff spot, failed to do so. Eastdale won both games, 8-5 in the opener and 11-4 in the final. The losses left Bowmanvillc with a 2-4 record on the season and kept the team out of contention for a playoff spot. With a win in one of the games against Eastdale, Bowmanvillc would have been left tied with Courtice, who posted a 3-3 league record. Bowmanvillc would have been given a place in the playoffs by virtue of their 7-5 win over Courtice on May 13. Despite the obvious disappointment disappointment of not gaining a berth in the playoffs, Bowmanvillc coach Doreen Doreen Ross was upbeat about the season season her team turned in. "I was quite pleased with die Redmen Finish The Season With A 2-4 Record and Out of the Plavoffs season we had," she said. "Especially after the O'Neill game. That was the best game I ever saw this team play." Indeed Bowmanvillc played superbly superbly in a 1-0 win over die highly- touted team from O'Neill in a game played May 15. "If we had played the best possible possible game we could have played, we would have beaten Eastdale today," today," she added. Five runs in the second, inning by Eastdale was the difference in their 8-5 triumph in the opener. Chris Smith started for Bowmanvillc Bowmanvillc and was tagged with the loss. Jeff McFeeters relieved Smith to start the third and managed to finish the game. In the second game, Eastdale scored in every inning on their way to an easy 11-4 win. The most damaging was the third inning when they pushed four runs across to break open a 4-3 game. They added one more in the fourth inning and a pair in the fifth. Bowmanvillc scored their fourth run in the sixth and final inning of the game on a Trevor Reinboldt double. Jeff McFeeters started the game on the mound for Bowmanvillc, but control problems plagued him during during his two-and-one-thirds of an inning. inning. Though Eastdale managed only two hits, McFeeters surrendered surrendered eight walks. Chad Handsor completed the game, allowing minimal minimal damage. "We just couldn't seem to get the ball out of the infield today. If we did, we would hit it right at people people and not into the holes. We usually usually do, but not today," said Ross as she summed up her team's downfall on the afternoon.
