Edwards, Chief cf Police THAN THE COMPETITION, NOW THAT'S PERFORAF l-ý Brooklin Redmen will have to defend their Mann Cup this year without the services of captain Gil Nieuwendyk. The six-year veteran of the team has decided not to return to the team this year. He had hin- ted about retirement after last yeà r's Mann Cup series triumph over Coquitlam, B.C. "I won't be back. I'm retiring. There was no future in the game I played it for fun," saici Nieuwendyk who was on hand at the Brooklin-Whitby Iinor Lacrosse Association's clinie at the Oshawa Civie dome last Saturday. Nieuwendyk said he made the decision after the birth of his f»irst child, Jodi -Lee, last Novem- ber. He has also given up aspi rations of refereeing in tLh_ National Hockey League. "I was really determined to et into the NHL but I was offereJea promotion at Coke (where he is employed in Uxbridge) and it was guaranteed," sai d Nieuwen- dyk, one of Redmen's top scorers last year. He has quit his officiating duties with the Ontario Hockey league and the American Hockey League but will continue to ref- eree junior B and C hockey games as well as university games. Fellow Redmen, Derek Keenan, was also on hand for the clinic.

A teehinical director with the Ontario, Lacrosse Association, Keenan said the withdrawals of Huntsville, Sarnia and Missis- sauga. from the major-senior league will result in a better game for the fans. The three teains officially withdrew at a winter league meeting heald earlier this year. Brooklin, Peterborough, Owen Sound, Fergus, Bramp ton and Orangeville, will compile the six- team ieague this year. «It is better to h ave less teams and more quality,"y said Keenan. Each team will plaLy a 20-game sehedule with ail six being elig- ible for the playoffs. A round-robin tournament will then be held to see who will represent the east in this year's Mann Cup to be held in Victoria. The Redmen have also added some scoring punch to their line- up for this year with the signing of Gary Gait, a j unior dynamc who played with Esquimault last year. "Gary is a great player. He is the best player coming out of the country this year. He is strong and fast, said Keenan. Keenan also said Paul St. John, a former Redmen who played with Coquitlam last year, will return to the Redmen.' Training camp for the Redmen opens April 16 with an invita- tional tournament to be held in Brantford, the second week of May.
