Oct. 25, will be another busy night at the rink for fans of the Huron East Centenaires as the high- way 8 rival, Clinton Radars travel to Seaforth. It is the first time the two teams have met and for many players on the Radars, the first time in a lot of years they have played in their home center. The Radars, one of the south divisions senior men's strongest teams, have gotten off to a tough start with two overtime loses, and the team heads to Seaforth looking to building momentum. For head coach, former Seaforth resident and Cente- naire player Kalen Carroll it is an opportunity for his team, and to come back to a place he grew up playing. "It's always nice to be back in the home rink, and know that there is no chance of me sitting in the penalty box." joked Carroll. However as he was as a player for the Centenaires many years ago Carroll is competitive as always. "No matter where I live, play or coach, I'm proud to say I'm from Seaforth. The visitors' bench will be a different sight line, but the goal will be the same as when I was at the other end of the rink - win." The Radars, like the Cents, have been up against some tough competition this year and the two over time looses wasn't the way the team hoped to come out of the gate. "We're not worried yet. We've the teams that many would consider our toughest competition in the first two games. We came away with two points, and were a few bounces away from four points. We know where we made our mistakes." It is a position the Cente- naires can relate too. After an opening night over time loss, the team came up against a very talented Petrolia team the next week, and then faced the top teams in Tavis- tock and Tilsonburg. "I think we are getting our- selves settled and under- standing this is a tough league we are playing in," said goalie Rich Wigmore. The Port Hope native has been strong through out the opening games for the Centenaires. "We are really learning that you can not take a shift off. You need to be on your best every time you step on the ice, or the other team capitalizes." Where the Centenaires have been very strong is in the stands. "We have a really great fan base of educated hockey fans. said team president Bill Tremeer. "People around here understand what we are trying to build, effort our team is showing on the ice and really show- ing us support?' With the Radars 15 min- utes up the road and many of the Radars being Sea - forth residents, it is expected to be a fun atmos- phere in the arena for the game Saturday night. "We're hoping for a full house when show up Satur- day." said Carroll. "We have great fans in Clinton who fol- low us on the road, and it sounds like fan support in Seaforth is great too. The rink is different than what we're used to so we will be coming in with our heads on straight and our work boots on. There are no guaranteed points in this league. It will be all business until the final buzzer goes, and then we can enjoy the night a bit." Clinton Radars arrive in Seaforth to take on Huron East Centenaires Sat., Oct. 25 for the 8:30pm puck drop. -4k4r Seasonal Flu Shot Clinics miOgietzr Clinton Family Health Team At 105 Shipley St. in the basement Please wear a short sleeve shirt and bring your Health Card.
