J durhamregion.com Four for four for Eagles THE CANADIAN STATESMAN ♦ September 20,2006 ♦ Page B3 JEAN SIMONE School of Performing Arts Bowmanville beats Trenton, Cobourg BOWMANVILLE - Knowing the demands and the expectation level of coach Curtis Hodgins, his Bowmanville Eagles probably didn't play perfect games over the weekend. But where it counts the most, the team remains perfect. The defending East Conference champions champions have produced four straight victories to kickstart the Provincial Junior A League season, although the past three haven't been cakewalks. In fact, Trenton has pushed the Eagles to overtime on two occasions, the most recent Friday night, when a Tavis Holden ■ . goal just 10 seconds into the extra frame resulted in a 5-4 win. Ironically, it was Holden who tallied the overtime winner a week ago against Trenton in a 6-5 victory. Bryan Scott was in net for the win, stopping stopping 40 of the 44 shots he faced, as the Eagles managed just 31, but had the shot that mattered most in the game, coming off the stick of Holden in overtime. On home ice Sunday, Kyle Goodchild recorded his second hat trick of the season Generals excited about new season From page B1 "We're definitely going into every game expecting to win, expecting to,really compete compete and 'definitely make the playoffs this year." Tavares still needs work in some areas, but after such an incredible freshman campaign, campaign, it's not a stretch to assume he will . one day carry the team in a similar fashion as Sidney Crosby did with Rimouski. "In the offensive zone, the sky's the limit," Selwood says of his most prized investment. "We want to help him play better in all three zones... He wants to be a more complete player." 1 Del Zotto, too, will have more pressure on him to perform than your average 16- year-old.'With Peter Aston deciding to , play professionally in Finland, Del Zotto will likely have to step in immediately to fill the quarterback role on the power play. ■;./ _ " . . It's something Selwood is confident Del Zotto can handle, thus filling a rather noticeable void over the past few years in Oshawa. "He's going to play , a tonne of minutes and he can handle it," Selwood says of Del Zotto, whom.he selected second overall in the May draft. "He plays like he's 25 years ' old. This kid can do it all." Selwood, in his third year as GM and first as head coach, says' he hasn't even mentioned the word 'playoffs' to his players, players, but sounds confident he can prevent an unprecedented third straight season of going without. "Playoffs, to me, we're going to be there," he says. "Am I guaranteeing it? No. : We've got to stay healthy and have some other things happen... I know this sounds . cliche, but we're going to go game by game and period by period." GENERALLY SPEAKING: Jesse Biduke has been dealt to the Ottawa 67's for a fourth round draft pick in 2007... The Generals officially acquired overage forward Vaclav Meidl from the Saginaw Spirit late Friday. He was dealt for a conditional conditional 15th round pick that will become a fifth round pick once he reports to the Generals, which Brad Selwood expects Thursday. • - To have ■. your flyers I delivered by i Durham's #1 Carrier Force!
