Cents ready and raring to roll
An for one and one for all!
That spirit sometimes
seemed lacking on last sea-
son's edition Of the neverthe-
less relatively -successful edi-
tion of the Seaforth
Centenaires, according to co-
head coach Jim Campbell.
But not this time around, on
pre -season form.
"Ask me in February," says
Campbell, "hut so far the
squad has shown a grittier
style.
'They hack each other up
and are not afraid to go into a
corner with their backs
turned. We lacked that last
year."
The Centenaires begin their
twenty-third Ontario Hockey
Association season with two
Junior "D"evelopment
League games on home ice
with two out -of -division
games this weekend.
Tavistock is in town Friday
night and the Mt. Brydges
Bulldogs Sunday. Thc puck
drops both evenings at 8:30.
-"So far we seem to have the
right mix of kids and older
players." Campbell says.
"They hack each other up and
arc entertaining. I am
extremely happy with the
way the young kids have
come along in pre -season.
Being a veteran now doesn't
automatically mean you
make the club."
• His returning cohort behind
the bench, Dave Murray,
agrees. Both are in their sec-
ond season, as is assistant
coach Dave Akey.
"We have a good mix with
a lot of local players and they
all get. along well," Murray
says. "I hope it continues.
"It's up to a couple of veter-
ans whether they want to be a
part of it.* We hope to sec
them hack. We have a high
level of commitment and 1
hope it continues for the rest
of the season and well into
the playoffs."
• NO CAKE -WALKS
- "We play in the toughest
division in by far the tough-
est conference," Murray
adds. "There won't he too
many cake -walks. They have
to he ready to play each and
every night.
" It is a hit -of a• plus starting
our camp so early but now
the players are chomping at
the hit to get on with the sea-
son.'"
Thc Cents finished with the
fourth -hest record ion their
history in 1995-96. They won
20 games. lost 17 (three in
overtime, which counts for a
point in the standings like a
tie) and tied one, but still fin-
ished in third place - 18
points to the rear of the
Exeter Hawks Who only
dropped four decisions in
their 38 starts and went on to
win the OHA championship.
But after ousting second-
place Lucan in a decisively
short and sweet first round,
the Ccntenaires took those
C4TH flavour
on NHL's Oilers
in pre -season
Thc Edmonton Oilers are
mining a distinct vein of
hockey talent that was nur-
tured in the Scaforth area as
they prepare for the upcom-
ing National Hockey League
season.
"Rein" Murray of the
Dublin arca fired a goal and
an assist in the Oilers 3-1
exhibition win over the
Phoenix Coyotes (formerly
Winnipeg Jets) on Saturday
night. In the Oilers' first pre-
season game. the weekend
before. Boyd Devereaux of
Seaforth recorded an assist.
Both started their hockey
careers by playing minor then
junior in Scaforth, as did
Mike Watt of Egmondvillc,
who is also Oilers' "proper-
ty" hut can't participate in an
N111. team's training camp
without becoming ineligible
for the scam he currently
plays for - the Michigan State
University Spartans.
"Rem" played for the
Oilers' farm club in Cape
Breton last season, and Boyd
played major junior with
Kitchener's Rangers. He was
drafted sixth overall in the
first round by Edmonton in
this summer's NHI. cntry
draft.
same Hawks to a seventh and
deciding game in the Morenz
Division final, and beat them
three times in eight days,
before going down for the
count with a 4-1 loss.
THE LEAGUE
The OHA Junior "D"evel-
opment League is arranged
the same way as last time
'round this season. Seaforth
plays five games against each
of their four divisional rivals
- Exeter, Lucan, North
Middlesex (Parkhill) and
Mitchell. The Cents play two
games, home -and -home, with
each of the five teams in the
other division of their confer-
ence - Thamesford, Mt.
Brydges, Port Stanley,
Lambeth and Belmont - and
they also play each of the
eight teams in the other con-
ference once.
The Cents also recently
affiliated with the junior B
Stratford Cullitons and man-
ager Gregor Campbell, who
is hack for his seventh sea-
son, feels this will he a plus
for both Seaforth's junior and
minor systems. Doug Anstett

as assistant general manager,
and Pete Martene is the new
President of Seaforth's junior
