Home My WebLink AboutThe Lucknow Sentinel, 1993-12-01, Page 7Lucknow minor hockey fundraiser Players will take to the ice Mark Tuesday Dec. 7 as the night that the Ontario Hockey. League (OHL) Junior "A" Owen Sound Platers are coming to Lucknow. The full team roster will hit the ice at 6:30 p.m. for a 90 minute display of their drills and skills. This event is being sponsored by the Lucknow Minor Hockey As- sociation (LMHA) as a fundraising event with all profits going back into the local minor hockey system. LMHA executive member Rod McDonagh said that the Owen Sound Platers are coming to town strictly at their own expense. They are looking at this as a promotional move in making the South Bruce and North Huron County areas aware of their hockey product. Everyone in attendance will receive a $2.00 discount coupon for the Platers home game, on Dec. 12 against the Detroit Jr. Red Wings, as part of their admission entry. Prior to the on -ice practice head coach, Jerry Harrigan, and assistant coach, Paddy Flynn, will conduct a coaches clinic in the upstairs room of the Lucknow Sports omplex. This will be open to cores at all levels from the Lucknow and sur- rounding area hockey systems. Harrigan, who is ' entering his second season with the Platers, coached the Junior "B"- Waterloo Siskins to four. OHA Champion- ships and has both coached and played in Switzerland for many seasons. Nova Scotia native, Flynn, played hockey in the Quebec Major Junior League and specializes in coaching the Platers goalies and defencemen. No advance registration is required for this half hour seminar. Part of the Platers' coaching staff problems is how to juggle the two Number 1 goaltenders on the team.

He was taken 41st overall and returned to the Platers for more seasoning. As good as he is, however, Weekes' goaltending partner, Jamie Storr, has been even more outstan- ding. The 17 -year-old Storr, a third year OHL veteran, currently leads the league in goals against average (2.68). Kincardine's Jordan Willis of the London Knights holds down 2nd place (3.22). Storr, who has played on two world championship teams in the past two years, will be eligible for the 1994 NHL entry draft and is expected to go in the first round. The defence, with the recent injuries to Mark Vilneff and the trading of Jeff Smith, has an average age of 17 years and should improve as the year progresses. Joe Harris, who was obtained in a Sep- tember trade with the _Detroit Jr. Red Wings Leads the Platers' defence in scoring. A lot of the attention is centered around Shane Kenny, drafted from the Fredericton New Brunswick Midgets. Sixteen - year -old Kenny, who stands 6'3" and weighs 217. lbs. was taken as the Platers' first round selection in the 1993 OHL draft. Up front the Platers are blessed with an array of scoring power with six players currently averaging better than a point a game. These shooters are led by right winger, Jason MacDonald, who is currently in the OHL top 10 scorers. It also includes Jim Brown newly acquired Rod Hinks, Marion Kacir, Wayne Primeau and .team captain Jeff Kostuch. Some of the above stars will remain on the ice after their prac- tice for a shootout exhibition with local talent.

Gerald Murray, of the LMHA Executive, is arranging for a Montgomery Bus to go up to the Owen Sound home game on Sun- day, Dec. 12. As much an oddity as this is for a small town, this is not the first time that Lucknow -has hosted a Junior "A" hockey team. The Paul Henderson led Hamilton Red Wings played an exhibition game against the Goderich Junior "B" Siftos in the Lucknow arena in the .early 1960s. At that . time both teams were owned by the NHL Detroit Red Wings who later brought Henderson and Pit Martin, amongst others, up to star on the parent team. Lucknow Sentinel, Wednesd Pirate admiral •from page 4 withstood an attack by Sir Francis Drake. Easton and his New- foundland pirates made off with stockpiles of gold and returned with a Spanish ship filled with treasure. Basques had captured his fort in his absence, and the triumphant return ended in at battle on land and sea. Forty-seven men died regaining Easton's fort and they are buried at nearby Bear's Cove, in a place still known as "the Pirates Graveyard." Although he was an outlaw in England, Easton applied to King James for a pardon, and apparently paid well for it. In fact, he received two pardons. En route to his retirement, Easton paused to intercept the Spanish plate fleet which was transporting the annual loot of the empire from Central America. When he finally settled down in a palace on the Riviera, Easton was one of the richest men in the world. He became a marquis, and lived in the lap of luxury. Although Easton never returned to Newfoundland, his fishermen pirates did and the Easton name remains popular in that part of Newfoundland where pirates once reigned. 4 HEART t0 HEART MATCH MAKERS CLUB A confidential way 10 meet that special someone' SPECIAL I .$i~:NIOIFI8 & i AWES Call Collect ,_794-4691 == • PARK THEATRE 11 GODERICH 524-7811 .- STEVEN SPIELBERG PRESENTS A DINOSAUR ADVENTURE FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY.
