Home My WebLink AboutThe Huron Expositor, 1995-06-14, Page 1010-THR HURON EXPOSITOR, Juan 14, 1111111 Woman wins in pairs tennis Linda Doig, of RR 2 Scaforth, was half a winning pair at the Stratford Tennis C'lub's 22nd annual men's and woolen's doubles toumamenl Saturday. Boyd Devereaux one of top draft picks Seaforth's Boyd Devereaux scored his first gbal in junior hockey at Parkhill on a tip -in as a 14 -year-old in October 1992. Sixty or so junior goals later he made it to centre stage at the famed Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto Saturday where he was the first 17 -year-old selected, and fifth pick overall in the first round, in the annual Junior A Ontario Hockey League draft. He was taken by the Kitchener Rangers, coinciden- tally the same team Dave McLlwain of Seaforth also started his major junior career with. McLlwain was a "walk-on" with the Rangers. Boyd is the highest 01 -IL pikk ever among the many talented Scaforth and arca players who have risen through the ranks. Mike Watt went in the sixth round a couple of seasons ago, but he had indicated to managers beforehand that he wouldn't report and planned to play college hockey in the United States. Boyd says he was nervous and couldn't sleep or eat Friday night or Saturday mor- ning. He went down with all his own family, and the Dave Parsons family of Stratford who he has boarded with the past two seasons as a member of the Ontario Hockey As- sociation chain ion junior B Stratford Cullitons. The draft started at 9 a.m. and he was chosen at about 9:30, then donned Ranger colours in the spotlight for the cameras and gave a little speech. It was a "personal decision" to opt for junior A over the American intercollegiate hock- ey, a route taken by other prominent local hockey players such as former Scaforth and Stratford teammate Watt and Pat and Rem Murray. "I can't say one way is better than the other, there are pros and cons to both ways and both lists are big," Boyd said Mon- day night at his Godcrich Street home. "It was an in- dividual decision and each person is different." Kitchener attracted Boyd because it is a university town and he likes Ranger coach Geoff Ward, who is rebuilding with many picks at Saturday's draft and who led the Waterloo Siskins to the OHA junior B season two seasons ago. Ward gets the most out of his players, deals with them directly and is innovative, says Devereaux. He adds the OHL has gone to great lengths in recent seasons to improve how the education of players is dealt with, an important con- sideration because of all the travelling in the league and its lengthy schedule. School hasn't been much of a problem for Boyd so far. He's carrying an average in the low 80s at St. Michael's in Strat- ford, and will auend St. Jerome's in Kitchener next year for grade 12. The Rangers have their first get-together June 24 for fitness tests, among other things. Devereaux says he isn't playing hockey this summer but plans to build up his weight and muscle, which he:has been doing a lot of since he first joined the OHA Junior "D"evelopment League, Seaforth Centenaires in 1992- 93 at a scrawny 5'4" and 114 lbs. Three years later he now stands 6'1" and weighs 180 lbs. Devereaux played up through ,, the ranks from mite in Seaforth and helped his teams win three minor hockey championships. The Centenaires •aid minor hockey $1,000 for his release and he scored seven'goals that first season in junior. He scored 12 goals for the junior B Cullitons his first year in Stratford, but blossomed this past season when he finished second in the league scoring race with 31 goals and 74 assists during the regular season, adding another 11 goals and 17 assists in the playoffs on the team's run to the provincial title. He was also a member of the Ontario's Under -17 Team. Junior A will mean yet another adjustment says Boyd. The game is faster, the skill level is higher, the players are bigger and stronger, they get much more exposure and there is far more travelling involved. Devereaux says he wants to thank his many coaches over the years in Seaforth for hel- ping him get to where he was on Saturday morning - John Watt, Bill Weber, Ray Ansteu, Charlie Roberston, Ken Coyne, and the Centenaires - but he knows he hasn't got to where he wants to get yet. Winning the junior B title this past season is one of the biggest thrills he has had in hockey so far. Another thrill he remembers happened way back in atom, when the Seaforth team coached by Weber bumped off Lambeth in the finals of the International Sil- ver Stick Tournament, after losing to them in a qualifying game leading up to it. What helpful hints does he have for any Scaforth youngsters who might dream of following in his footsteps? Shoot a lot, says Boyd. It is the key to scoring. Even the great Gretzky only scores once about every four shots, he adds, so "keep on shooting and some of them are bound 'to go in." She and Ginny Smith, both of the host club, brat Flora Ahchong and Jun Oliver of London 8-4 in the women's B final. Doig is a native of Stratford and a teacher at Scaforth District High Schtxol. Former Cent is drafted Ben Sen of Stratford, a big 15 -year-old (lelenceman with Seaforth's junior hockey Cen- tenaires two seasons ago, was selected in the 16th round of Saturday's OHL draft in Toronto by the Peterborough Petes. Sen played triple A midget in Waterloo last season. COOPS WIN PAIR - Seaforth Coops won both its games in the South Huron Fastba!I League last week.
