(By Dave Broome)
During the last seven season
of play the team that donned the
green jerseys of the Stars have
won four I.H.L. championships. It
seemed that the green sweaters
held a certain majic and the Stars
were among the most feared of
LILL. Clubs of the past,
This season's version of the
green machine shattered the fine
tradition of ,Stars teams of the
past. This years club was,
perhaps, the all time worst I.H.L.
team to play in the ten year old
league. •
Their season was marked with
internal dissention„ on ice
frustrations and a number of
sudden drastic player changes.
It all began with the initial draft
of players at the start of the
season.
The club was ' put together
poorly and all the members of the
team , knew. it. •
They lost their firit game of the
season 9 - 0 'to the Wings and tot from that point on it was an
up-hill battle just to ice a
team. The Stars went through
nine player changes.. They ha
either lost or gained a new_face
each week and the togetherness
needed on the ice was never
evident.
Don Papple took over the
coaching duties (captain) and
tried to implant a "sense. of spirit.
It worked to some degree and it
was generally felt that the green
•td'arn was the most spirited of all
the teams I.H.L. clubs. They
worked their kutts off in all, the
games they' played but.an obVious
lack of talent prevented the team
from accomplishing the feats that
their predecessors had done in
seasons past.
Jim McLeod and Paul McKellar
I'
combined to score half the Stars
goals. Both players were among
the most consistent in the leagu%,
and they both_finished among the
top twenty scorers. that was quite
a feat in itself because the team
scored only 42 goals. ,
Dave Broome and Brian
Leonhardt of the Wings combined
• for 43 goals - more than the whole
Stars team. It simply shows that
both McKellar and McLeod kept
the Stars from being completely
humiliated each game out.
It must be noted that McKellar
was a late-corner to the Stars. If
the team had kept some players
they could have been much
better.
The te'am saw a bright light at
the end of tunnel on the night of
Jan. 4 however.
That night the green team
upset the first place Wings 6 - 4
and any lack of confidence they
had experienced suddenly and
dramatically disappeared. For
what should have been a turning
point in their season turned out to
he the final death knell.
The next week they were
hammered 10 - 3 by the Kings in
what had to be the biggest let
down of any one team this season.
The climax had been building
up and it suddenly passed. For
the Stars the season was over that
night.
The Hawks
This team, without a doubt:
had to be the most 'easy going"
member team club in the league •
'this season.
Gary Nicholson pieke,c1-- this
team at the draft last 'fall. 1-16
must have known what he was
doing because the Hawks came
within a shade of upsetting the
Blues in the 0.11.L. playoffs.
Made up of a number , of
generally quiet fellows the team
struggled most of the season just
to stay ahead of the Stars.
Losing 'came as naturally as
walking to-them-and-they never •
seemed to complai*. I'm: sure
they felt fruStrated many times
but it just never showed..
Their pacifist aftitude probably
accounted for the mediocre
season but the team .did have
,talent to surprise a few people.
The biggest, problem with the
Hawks was organization. Many
nights this past season' they had
fought hard enough to stay close
.for a good part of manytarrieS• but
seemed to fall apart in the late
stages of most' contests.
By Dave Broome).
A couple of , weeks ago • the
Kings pulled off the upset of the
season by dumping, the Wings 3 -
1 'and,4a.king ' the I.H.L: mini
series two games to one. "
• The team had fanciful visions of.
•-'a berth in the finals against the
Blues.
With only the Flyers.remaining
as the lone obstacle in the path to
glory, the Kings looked like sure
bets to be the club that would face
the powerful Blue team • in the
final.„„
',What should have been an
injection of adrenalin, in the form
of the Wing win, turned out to be
a severe case of the "letdown
Blues-.
The Flyers whipped the Kings
6 - 2 last Sunday night to add
another chapter„ to the most
bizarre season on record. It has
been virtually impossible to make
accurate predictions on games
this season because the "almost
impossible" has happened so
often.
The King team of last week
resembled the club that defeated
the • Wings by colour of sweater
A scrambly team, with no
defined system could best
describe the Hawks.
Loaded defensively with Ray
Devereaux, John Watt, Gary
Nicholson and Kevin Henderson
all the Hawks lacked was a steady
offence. The team scored a
meagre total of-4.8:goals. Only the
Stars connected for fewer tallies
during the season.
Terry Stevenson was a pleasant
surprise for the team finishing
with a total of 17 points - highest
on the team. Ray Hutchinson
was the Hawk's net minder. At
times he was unbeatable but
anyone can fail when one has to
face between 40 and 50 shots on a,
night.
Actually the team finished well
this season. They 'had good
potential but lacked overall
balance. Injuries and illness hurt
their chances but the Hawks, one
of the new teams this ,season,
finished in fine fashion against
the powerful Blues.
They lost the final gime of the
playoff series by a I - 0 score.
Despite losing the series 2 - 1 they
'showed everyone they had
something that we did not see all
• season long.
