COMMENTS ,
By BILL :BATITN,I$pgrN gOttpr
Although it is evident from the disappoint-
ing crowds in Luc art and Exeter that few area fans
are following the intermediate "Big Eight" loop,
we should point out they are missing some good
hockey as the calibre is perhaps as good as has
ever been paraded. in ;the area.
However. before chastising the fans too
much, we will have to admit that lee have also
been absent from many of these games. and are
Making DM* judgment on the basis of a "paper
analysis" of the teams only.
Before the eight clubs took to .the ice to
commence their schedule. we were firmly convinced
that the Lueaneilderton Combines would agent
dominate the loop in which they won 23 out of 4
contests last year,
Our thinking was slightly biased due to an
effective
who
- washing job by manager Steve
Storey, who pointed out. the Combines were mak-
ing an all-out effort to capture the Ontario "B"
crown.
We agreed with hint at the time that the
southern club had an excellent opportunity espec-
ially when he noted they had added Exeter's Boom
Gravett, Lloyd Moore and Dick Bedard; Stratford
Indian stalwart Barry Hearn and Strathroy Rocket
stars, Jim Strachan and George Coulter.
Naturally we figured that by adding these
Six pucketers to an already star-studded lineup, the
Combines would waltz right through the clubs in
the Big Eight and would be on a par with Port
Dover Sailors, who sidelined them in OHA play-
offs last year. In fact we were so certain they had
what it would take that we almost died laughing
following our ability to entice Don Budclo of Sham-
rock league fame into giving us odds of 50 to one
to back up his opinion that we were all wet.
While it is certainly not our intention to
back out of a bet with such favorable odds. we
are noting with sonic consternation that the Com-
bines are having a bit of difficulty living up to
our expectations and they are presently holding a
win-loss record that is balanced off at two games
for each side: the L-I six having been beaten by
both Seaforth and Philipsburg after posting wins
over the two RCAF clubs from Centralia and
Clinton.
COMPETITION IS KEEN
Now. to get back to our original statement
regarding the calibre of play in this intermediate
"B" league. we hope our preceding jargon has
been able to substantiate our opinion that it is
extremely good.
We still think the Combinee have fanned
one of the best intermediate "B" teams this area
has seen, and if there are two teams that can
beat them, there must be some top-notch puckstcrs
cavorting around the loop. and a look at some of
the lineups backs this up.
Seaforth Towners hate added Ken 'Doig and
Jack Mcilwain from last year's Stratford senior
entry along with their junior stars of Toni and
Jim Dick. and when you add this to names such
as Bob Doig. Bob Beutenmiller and Bill McLaugh-
lin. you come up with a very strong, offensive unit.
Philipsburg, who are undefeated and also
have a win over Combines. don't appear to have
made too many changes from the team they have
had for the past couple of yeare. but they are get-
ting good mileage from Andy Sararas. one of the
better all-round players for the Mohawks in Ex-
eter, and also a pair of scrappy young junior
graduates in the persons of Gary and Bryan Pfaff,
The new loop entry from Milverton certain•
ly appears to he on a par with the top clubs and
have dropped only one contest in five outings. Big-
gest name on their roster is Abner Martin, a for-
mer senior player in the Gait and Kitchener-
Waterloo area. who is in a class of his own in the
scoring race with 10 goals and 11 assists in those
five games.
While none of the other names are familiar
to us with the exception of Gord Trapp. the Top-
notchers appear to have a prolific eeoring squad
with five players in the top seven league positions.
A quick glance at the Mitchell and 1"orest
lineups shows familiar names such as Murray But-
cher and Charlie Westman with the 'Red Devils and
Stan Ulrich. ..Jim Bloomfield and Bob Dunlop with
the Flyers. who also boast several .Sarnia and Wat-
ford junior graduates.
Centralia Hawks and Clinton Thunderbolts
appear to be slightly outclassed in the league. but
