pride in the line
Lucknow Midgets
It is not a well kept secret that this
year's Midget team has had a tough
season. In fact, the black shirt team has
been the black sheep of Lucknow Minor
Hockey and there have been little to report
for the local press.
However, when a group of young men
does something right, when they give all
they have, when they play with pride, they
deserve recognition.
Specifically, reference is being made to
the Ripley Lions Midget Tournament held
this past weekend. If you think only of
trophies, the team played three games and
came up empty, but, the boost to their
reputation is what really counted.
In the first contest of the tourney, the
boys slept through the first period of play
allowing three goals and scoring none. It
appeared to be the start of an embarrass-
ing day, but between periods the team pull-
ed together. They played even in the se-
cond frame and won the third, finishing the
game with a respectable 4 - 2 loss against
the tournament champions, Lucan.
In their second, game, the Lucknow
Midgets picked up where they left off and
skated to a well deserved 4 - 1 win against
Mildmay. This set up a shot at the consola-
tion title against Belmore, or Belwater as
it is commonly called,
In the third game of the weekend, there
was pride on the line. The easy route is to
give it a good shot, say it has been a good
P
day and take what corr It +'ikes
character to dig deep and cu,,. the
most spirited performance of season
on rubbery legs while shooting a puck that
seems to weigh- pounds instead of ounces.
In a scoring sense, the contest started
slowly° Belmore scratched out the first
goal but Lucknow rebounded to tie it up.
Rather than fold.under the pressure, late
in the second Lucknow took a 2 -1 lead and
with some momentum going for them,
they could have had a couple more pucks
in as two break -away attempts just failed
to click.,
After good action at both ends of the
rink, Belmore counted on two scoring
drives about four minutes apart mid -way
through the third period. Late in the game,
Lucknow pulled out all the stops and press-
ed with everything they had but still came
up short. Even with six attackers for the
final minute, the goal was not to be.
Belmore won the game.
Lucknow won a new measure of respect.
The Lucknow Midgets are Michael Aren-
burg, Kent Campbell, Kevin deJong,
Butch Foran, Scott Gibson, Jeff Gammie,
Craig Irwin, Harvey Kikkert, Marcial
LeBreton, Kirk Livingston, David
McDougall, Charles Murray, Sam Mur-
ray, Jonathon Nelson, Jeff Pollard and
David Schuler. When you see any of these
young men, conmgratulate them on a job
well done. A job done with pride.
