A little bit of history was made at the Recreation Complex on Sunday Sunday night as 17-year-old Sarah Couch started the game in goal for the Eagles. The grade 12 student at Bowmanville High School allowed allowed only one goal over her 20 minutes of playing time. She has already already begun to receive some teasing about the impending team initiation initiation of shaving the heads of rookies. Souvenir Torch for Olympic Chaperone , Bowmanville resident Jim Cryderman was one of ten Canadians to take part in the torch run for the XXV Olympic Games. He chaperoned chaperoned John Wass of Stoney Creek on July 19, as they ran through Alicante, Alicante, Spain, which is 500 kilometres south of Barcelona. Over 9,000 people participated in the torch run and each of them got to take home a torch as a souvenir. Jim is seen above with his souvenir torch.

But, in this particular case, the shaven head of the young, fiesty rookie wouldn't resemble that of Kojak. How does Sinead O'Connor sound? Well, if Sarah Couch continues to impress the way she has to this point in the pre-season, it could very well happen. "A couple of (players) have mentioned it to me, but I don't think they will do much to me," the 17- year-old said of the initiation eve-; ning that is customary for rookies. "Some of them are pretty keyed up about it, though." And with good reason. Couch has looked solid since training camp for the Eagles opened back on September 10. In fact, she is one of three goaltenders still in camp who are vying for the backup spot to veteran Drew Campbell. She didn't hurt her chances following following her first taste of Junior C hockey on Sunday night. Drawing the starting assignment against the Uxbridge Bruins, she allowed only one goal (a power play marker) in 20 minutes. Despite a bad case of nerves that comes with playing in front of many friends and admirers, she didn't look out of place. "During the warmup there weren't weren't any people there, so it helped to calm me down. If it were packed, I would have been really nervous," said the grade 12 student at Bowmanville Bowmanville High School. "But, once we got into the game and I had a couple of shots, it helped to calm me down. ' T just tried to play the game like any other, and hoped to stop the puck." Moving up through the ranks of the Bowmanville Recreation Hockey Hockey League over the years, she has been accepted by both players and management at every level. It hasn't been any different with the Eagles. "My first reaction was that it is hard to sign a girl," said Laing of the old school line of thinking. "But she's is making it almost impossible for us to cut her because she has played so well in the scrimmages. "You have to stop yourself from looking at her as a girl because she's such a good player." If it doesn't work out with the Eagles, Couch may decide to attend the training camp of Ontario's un-, der-18 women's team next month, j But, she would like nothing bet-j ter than to miss the camp because ofi a ; prior commitmentu A-spot on thfcj roster of the Eagles. ' voiDit orf.i j Junior C hockey made its return to the Bowmanville Recreation Complex on Sunday night as the Bowmanville Eagles won their second straight pre-season game, a 7-3 triumph over the Uxbridge Bruins. They won their first exhibition game of the year, 8-4, in Port Perry. Dwindling Stocks of Fish in Lake Scugog Lake Scugog has a problem. Too much angler effort has been directed at walleye, and too many, fish are being harvested from the lake. There are a number of options to deal with this problem. Some anglers anglers have even requested that the winter fishery be closed. A meeting to discuss the options and receive input from the public will be held at the Latcham Centre on Water Street in Port Perry at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, October 7. Results from a Lake Scugog angler angler survey conducted by conserva-, lion officers between December 1991 and March 1992 showed that walleye catch rates were approxi-; mately half the lowest ever before recorded. The total amount of time that anglers anglers spent fishing over the winter' increased, but the number of walleye walleye harvested was less. Lake Scugog is currently receiving receiving the highest level of angler effort directed at walleye in the Kawartha Lakes area. There is more effort per unit of surface area targeting walleye walleye in Lake Scugog than in the Bay of Quinte or the Ontario waters of Lake St. Clair. The meeting on October 7 will aim at resolving the problem of mass fishing on Lake Scugog. by Brad Kelly Two games into the pre-season, everything has gone according to script for the Bowmanville Eagles. The fact that they have won both of their first encounters is just an added bonus. Sunday night at the Recreation Complex, three goals by over-age captain Nick Dennis contributed to an easy 7-3 win over the Uxbridge Bruins. It was the second win in as many starts for the Eagles, after opening the exhibition season with an 8-4 victory over Port Perry last Thursday. Thursday. In both games, the wins have been the result of an offensive contribution contribution from the returning veterans, veterans, coupled with strong play from an array of rookies trying to make the club. So far, the combination has worked to perfection. i VThe 1 ' : veterans ' j have ; come through for us," said manager Mike Laing; who was behind -the bench for!..-both- games while coaches Wayne Marchaient and Jeff Fox viewed the proceedings from the stands. "We've got a bunch of young guys and I think because of the winning winning streak that we're on, a lot of them are going to (make the team)," added Laing. The Eagles never hailed throughout throughout the game, taking period leads of 2-1 after the opening 20 minutes, and increasing it to 5-1 at the end of two. Despite the lopsided score, the game did have a historical sidelight to it. Receiving the starting assignment assignment in goal for the Eagles Sunday night was Sarah Couch, who played in the Bowmanville Recreation Hockey League last year. She was followed by Mark Lynch, who held Uxbridge off the scoreboard in the second period, and A1 Judges who played the final period. period. Couch looked particularly sharp over her 20 minute stint, especially in the early going while, no doubt, fighting a case of nerves associated with playing in front of the hometown hometown crowd. A power play goal by Darryl Bricknell late in the period was the only shot to beat her. But by that time, the Eagles had built a 2-0 lead on a pair of goals by Dennis. The second was the result of a slapshot from just inside the center line that was intended to be a shoot-in for a line change. Scott Pollard, Trevor Clapperton, Dave Stockton and Jason Rogers added single tallies for the Eagles. Bricknell, with his second of the evening, and Graig Stewart each scored power play goals in the third period for the Bruins. The game provided a humorous moment in the closing minutes of the second period with the Eagles in command with a 4-1 lead. Stockton broke down the right side on a two-on-one break, and his attempt at a cross ice pass was intercepted intercepted by Blair Cook of the Bruins. Cook attempted to clear the puck behind the net, but managed to fire it past a startled goaltender and into the net. Power play goals less then two minutes apart in the third period by Bricknell and Stewart dosai the gap to 5-3. But Dennis' third goal of the night, a slapshot to the top comer, restored the Eagles' three-goal lead. Rogers added the seventh goal on a rebound with eight seconds left in the game.

It's likely the Eagles will be down to their roster roster by Thursday...Sunday's win kept manager Mike Laing's pre-season winning streak intact. Two last year and another pair so far this season give him four career victories. He had a chance to extend that total last night, as the Port Perry MoJacks were in Bowmanville...Shane Armstrong Armstrong and Jeremie Pate had a pair of goals each in Thursday's win over Port Perry. Ryan Stewart, Todd Cannings, Nick Dennis and Ryan Becker had one each.
