The Ontario hockey League
(OHL) Junior "A' Owen Sound
Platers provided local hockey en-
thusiasts with 90 minutes of skills,
drills, thrills and spills.
The 20 men roster practiced full
out, at the Lucknow Sports
Complex on Dec. 7, demonstrating
their high speed and disciplined
hockey style.
Prior to the Platers taking to the
ice, head coach Jerry Harrigan and
assistance coach Paddy Flynn ad-
dressed approximately two dozen
coaches, managers and trainers
from the Lucknow minor hockey
system. They explained the drills
that would be carried out that night
as well as some of the points as-
,sociated with coaching at the Junior
"A" level.
The event was sponsored by the
Lucknow Minor Hockey As-
sociation (LMHA) as a fundraising
event by executive member Rod
McDonagh and the Platers Director
of Administration, Dave Lord.
There was a crowd of ap-
proximately 325 people in atten-
dance and the profit of just over
$700.00 'was raised for the minor
hockey system.
Everyona in attendance agreed
that the Owen Sound Platers are a
first class organization. The players
put on a fine exhibition of hockey
talent, never once letting up as they
continually went through drillsas
laid out by the coaching staff, Their
enthusiasm carried over into the
autograph session as all players
took a turn at signing any and all
pieces of paper shoved in front of
them.
Coaches Harrigan and Flynn,
remained on the ice during the
shootout assisting the local players
with both words of advice and
encouragement. The Platers goalten-
ding tandem of Jamie Storr and
Kevin Weekes remained on the ice
for the shootout against the 12 local
participants, although Weekes was
felled by sore feet from breaking in
new skates and was reduced mainly
to a cheerleading role.
Winner of the first place Owen
Sound Plater team jersey was Dan
Wilken of Ripley, while Ed
Giesbrecht of the Dungannon area
won the autographed team stick.
Murray Cox of St. Helen's was the
winner of the Jeff Kostuch
autographed stick. Both sticks were
donated to Lucknovi by the Platers
organization as prizes in their raffle.
It should again be pointed out that
the Owen Sound Platers came down
to Lucknow at strictly their own
expense, with no reimbursement
being made to them for their ap-
pearance. They, of course, hope to
see that some of the Lucknow fans
and friends, they made while here,
up at future home games in the
Bayshore Community Centre. Their
next home game is tonight against
the Niagara Falls Thunder and then
they hit the road this weekend for
games in Kingston, Belleville and
Ottawa before returning home for
the Christmas break.
The LMHA Executive would like
to, thank all of those who were
involved in this profit raising event
as it took many hours of volunteer
time. The executive would also like
to thank all those who were in-
volved in the pizza sales
fundraising project as spearheaded
by arena manager, Gary Nicholson.
Any questions or concerns about
the minor hockey system in Luck -
now should be channeled through to
LMHA executive members. It is
normal procedure to put these into
written form first.
