durhamregion.com Dunlops start season with a win THE CANADIAN STATESMAN ♦ October 4,2006 ♦ Page B3 From page B1 successful. The really nice, positive thing was we played much better defensively than I would have thought we would this early in the season," says Posavad. "You can practice and scrimmage all you want, but until you play for real, it lakes some time," Aside from the obvious contribution of the top line, who swept the three stars, Posavad was pleased with the skill and enthusiasm the young players added to the team, and praised the play of returning returning defenceman Bob McQuat, who quarterbacked quarterbacked the power play before getting tossed for a light late in the third period. The Dunlops face the Vipers again this Saturday, this time in Norwood. Posavad expects to see the two teams continue a rivalry that has seen them meet the past two years in the league championship, with Norwood winning in 2004-05 and the Dunlops prevailing last season. "I think it's going to be like we've seen the last couple of years, back and forth," lie says. "Hopefully, at the end we'll have the long end of the stick again." NOTES: Chad Ford made his debut in goal for the Dunlops, making 28 saves... Peter MacKclIar, Brent Gaylor and Jay McAulcy scored once each, to go along with Ron Baker's pair... The Dunlops held Norwood's top two players, Chad Birk- hof and Joe Hawley, without a point... Nick Lees, a former Oshawa General, and Jim McMillan scored for Norwood... Jay Cannings has left the Dunlops, according to Mike Posavad. The checking centre is the step-son of Mike Laing, who recently resigned as president of the team. p\ï „ LIVE ENTERTAINMENT "OpTHimS.
