Lucan-Ilderton series is do-or-die time for Pirates
From PIRATES, Page 22
"We lost four straight [in our last round],
but we got a lot out of those games. We can
play with the top team in the league, and
Ithink we're going to do the same with Lu -
can," Bazinet said.
The series started on Saturday, February 28
in Lucan.
"It's do or die time," Bazinet explained be-
fore their first game of this series. He was op-
timistic, stating that the team has grown i lot
since they started the year.
While no one likes to lose, the quick first
series may work out in Goderich's favor, as
the time off has given players a chance to
recuperate and recover from their injuries.
Bazinet explained that several players were
missing from some of their games against
Petrolia, including Dave Meriam, who had a
baby born and missed half of the series.
"We were missing a couple guys during
the series, but the time off has served us well.
The only person we'll be missing is Ryan
Samworth, who has been out since January
23 with a wrist injury. That's a big loss for us
on the point. He really improved quite a bit
over the season. Other than that, we'll be at
full strength though," Bazinet said.
Bazinet has high hopes though, saying they
are definitely ready to face the oncoming
challenge.
"Everyone is ready to go," Bazinet ex-
plained. "We're going to be the underdog,
but we're hoping to surprise Lucan and move
on."
Bazinet explained that their overtime loss
was really just a matter of momentum, and

that Goderich just needs to find a way to be
on top at the end.
"We came back, we were down 2-1," he
said. "We took the lead, made it 3-2. Then
[The Jets] scored with 42 seconds left to send
it into overtime. It was a real momentum
shifter. They scored three minutes into OT to
win."
This is our seventh loss in a row, but we
lost every game to Petrolia by one gotl, and
now we lost, this one by one goal. No ones
playing bad, we're just trying to find the way
to win."
The game started out rough, according to
Bazinet, with Lucan-Ilderton pushing the
body hard until three fights erupted in the first
ten minutes of the game. Goderich's James
Gartshore recieved a game misconduct and
an additional one game suspension for partic-
ipating in the second fight after a stoppage.
Goderich's goals were scored by Sean Bur-
ton,
urton, Matt MacPhee, and Deryk Whitehead.
"MacPhee scored on his first shift," Bazinet
explained with a chuckle. "He had car prob-
lems on the way up, so he was late, but his
first shift on the ice hescored."
The Pirates will get home ice advantage
with their game on Friday, March 6, at 8:30
p.m. in Goderich. Saturday, March 7 they
will see action in Lucan, and Sunday, they
will be back in Goderich for a 7:30 p.m. puck
drop.

Health Canada Advisory
on RetroFoam Insulation
Health Canada was recently advised that RetroFoam has been
installed in a limited number of homes in Ontario. This product
is prohibited for sale in Canada.
Health Canada is informing consumers that RetroFoam insulation is
a urea formaldehyde -based thermal insulation, a type of insulation
that has been prohibited for sale in Canada under the Hazardous
Products Act since December 1980, as it may release formaldehyde
gas into indoor air. �
Health Canada issued a "cease and desist" letter to RetroFoam
of Canada Incorporated, the Canadian importer of the insulation,
to stop all importation and sale of RetroFoam in Canada. Health
Canada also instructed Enerliv, the Canadian distributor of
RetroFoam, to stop all sale, advertisement and further installations
of the product and to call back any unused product. As a result of
Health Canada's actions, RetroFoam is no longer available for sale
or installation in Canada.
Health Canada will be communicating with affected homeowners to
provide further details on how they can obtain Government support
for having their indoor air quality tested.
