HomeMy WebLinkAboutTimes-Advocate, 1978-06-08, Page 11Jets sign Loveless to coach,
hope club will be a contender
“We will have a con
tending team,”
Those were the words of
Pete Loveless shortly after
he was nemed coach of the
Lucan-Ilderton Jets of the
Ontario Hockey Association
Continental Senior League.
Jets general manager Don
Urbshott echoed the sen-
timets of his new coach
saying, “We will definitely
have a better team than last
year.”
The Jets suffered through
the worst season in their
history winning only a half
dozen games in 35 played.
Loveless who played with
the Jets for five years spent
the last two years as an
assistant coach with the Jets
for the 1976-77 season and
last season with the London
Kings.
He replaces Jack Chip
chase who held the L-I
coaching job for one year.
Chipchase was unable to
return because of em
ployment commitments.
Urbshott and Loveless are
already on the lookout for
new players. Loveless said
we need a top notch goal
tender, two strong defen
cemen and three forwards
that can put the puck in the
net.
On the club’s performance
last year, Loveless com
mented, “They lost Rick
Fifield, Randy Roth and Bill
Bannerman last year. They
accounted for 75 goals the
year before. You can’t lose
players of that calibre and
continue to win without
capable replacements.”

Urbshott said the Jets hope
to have working agreements
with the new St. Marys in
termediate team and the
Strathroy Junior “B” club.
Loveless added, “The
London Kings proved last
year that affiliated teams
can be a big help. Help from
the London Diamonds sure
was instrumental in
defeating Durham.”
None of us in charge of this
team like to lose, so, we are
looking for the players
necessary to give us a win

ner, added Loveless. He was
referring to club president
Harry Loyens and manager
Don Urbshott.
One thing is certain there
will be better brand of
popcorn consumed at the
Ilderton arena this coming
winter. Loveless is known to
consume large quantities of
popcorn during the game.
The concluding comment
from Loveless was, “I will be
asking for a total com
mitment from my players.
They will need to give us
about 20 hours each week for
games, practices and travel
time.”

The Dashwood" Tigers
scored a decisive victory in
their only start this week in
the Huron-Perth in
termediate baseball league.
On their home field Friday
night the Tigers downed the
London Rae J juniors by a
score of 11-12.
The pitching arm of Jim
Guenther and the hot bat of
John Hayter allowed Glen
Thurman’s club to chalk up
its1 third win of the young
season.
Guenther went the full
distance on the mound for
Dashwood. He allowed only
five well scattered hits and
struck out an even dozen
opposition batters.
At the plate John Hayter
collected three hits, in
cluding two long blasts over
the left field fence. He picked
up four runs batted in.
The Tigers wasted little
time getting on' the
scoreboard with three runs
in their first trip to the plate.
Bob Hoffman reached first
on a walk, John Hayter
followed with a single and
both scored on Jim Guen
ther’s drive over the centre
field fence.
In the Dashwood third,
Bob Hoffman again started
the rally. This time he was
safe on an error and John
Hayter quickly sent him
across the plate with the first
of his two home run shots.
The fifth inning scoring for
Dashwood was a repeat of
the third frame. Bob Hoff
man slapped out a single and
John Hayter came through
with his second straight
round tripper, again over the
left field barrier.
Two more Tiger tallies
were chalked up in the sixth
as Barry Baynham singled
stole second moved to third
on Bob Hoffman’s third hit of
the game and both scored as
John Hayter was safe on a
London fielding miscue.
Noel Skinner’s single sent
Perry Stover and Doug
Fairbairn home with the
final two Dashwood scores in
the bottom of the seventh.
Stover had singled and
Fairbairn drew a walk.
The only action for the
Tigers this week will be
Saturday and Sunday when
they will be in Tillsonburg
competing in a tournament.
