Gold awards Velebit advances " SPORTS Another 5â€"4 loss by the Oakville Blades has general manager Murray Walker lighting up the switchboards of other Provincial Junior A hockey teams hoping to talk trade. Four consecutive second period goals by the visiting Milton Merchants did the damage Tuesday night. Oakville also lost by a 5â€" 4 margin in Burlington on Sunday. Walker still believes the team, which is now playing .500 hockâ€" ey with a 4â€"4â€"1 record, is near the top when it comes to the talent level of the forwards. One is a lack of toughness. "We need some muscle on defence, in fact throughout the whole team. We need people who are going to hit â€" let‘s face it, hockey is a physical game." He wouldn‘t mind if they steal a page from Milton‘s playbook: "They are aggressive, they hit, they finish their checks, and they inevitably come up with the puck." The other trend, he said, is for too many of the talented forwards to dipsyâ€"doodle to their own tune. Hockey is a physical, team game and if it‘s not played in such a fashion, he said, all the talent in the world won‘t get you far. Some trends, to be sure, are positive.

(See ‘Blades‘ page 21) Trade talks heat up after another close loss Oakville hosts the Hamilton Kilty Bees tonight, 8 p.m., at Oakville Arena and travel to Royal York tomorrow night (7 p.m.). In Tuesday‘s loss, he lamented, "we didn‘t finish our checks â€" we didn‘t even hit." But with the season now nine games old, he said some trends are starting to wear a bit thin at this point.
