He earned a pair of points in Canada's 3-2 win over Farjestads BK of the Swedish Elite League in the tournament opener Sunday, assisting on both of the goals scored by Dan Hodgson, including the winner with seven minutes left in the game. McLlwain scored 100 goals in the NHL with various club's during a decade-long career before moving to the International League, where he scored many more. He has played in Europe for the past two seasons, and is now with Bern in Switzerland's First Division. So is former Toronto 'Maple Leaf 'Dan Marois, McLlwain's other current linemate on Canada's team, two time and defending Spengler Cup champs, now undefeated in two starts. The Spengler Cup is an annual Christmas holiday tournament that pits four top European club teams against a select team of Canadians. The other teams in this year's competition are HC Davos and VEU Feldkirch. Chuck Robertson, goaltender for the Centenaires, dove across the net to snare the puck and thwart Mitchell Hawks' centre, Bill Kelly (4) of a glorious scoring chance last Wednesday during OHA Junior Development hockey action in Mitchell. The Hawks won, 5-1 ANDY BADER PHOTO Snowmobilers making it work FROM Page 1 willing to make this work," Scott said, before suggesting council's vote should be pushed ahead. "I think we should set it in place now before winter goes away." Seaforth Public Works superintendent John Forrest was not at last week's meeting, but his written report stated snowmobilers had met with him since council's last meeting and he did not object to their plans. Reeve Lin Steffler moved that council accept the route as presented. In brief discussion, councillors stressed that "not cutting corners is important." ' Council agreed that for snowmobilers who do not live close' to the new trail, the most direct route to it, or out of town is what enthusiasts should take. Preliminary business data indicates Seaforth's stability BY GREGOR CAMPBELL Expositor Staff Preliminary analysis of recently gathered data by Seaforth's business retention and expansion committee indicates this area is a very stable area for business, by virtue of the number of years some have been open here. Thirty-three percent, or a total of 22 of the businesses analyzed, have been in operation 36 years or more, according to minutes of the committee's Dec. 2 meeting. Thirteen per cent (or nine businesses) have been around from 26 to 35 years, 3(1 per cent (20) for 11 to 25 years and 20 per cent (13) for from four to 10 years. Museum committee begins cataloguing Seaforth's museum committee held its first cataloguing bee at the start of this month. It was a learning session and only nine items were catalogued. "This is a huge project that will require volunteers to come in on their own time to catalogue items," Cathy Garrick, the town's economic development co- ordinator told last Tuesday night's Seaforth Council meeting. "We arc still looking for people interested in helping with this project. 1 am purchasing cataloguing supplies to use by the volunteers."

Team founders drop puck in event that sees former team come back strong FROM Page I Melady iced it with an empty -net insurance goal with 46 seconds remaining, assisted by Tom Turner. Kyle Clark and Shaun Anstett earned assists on the current team's pair of goals. Only three of the former champs missed the reunion - Mike Betties and Kevin Williamson because of a death in the family, and Andy Russell, formerly of London, whose current whereabouts couldn't be determined. Goalies Trevor Fortune, Derek Cooper and Keith McClure guarded the champs' net in the first, second and final periods, respectively. Scott Wood played the first half of the game in net for the current team, with Charles Robertson going the remainder of the way. Art Varley and Mike Smale were the referees. Les Seiler and Don McClure dropped the ceremonial first puck. Seiler's donation of $5,000 put the original Centenaires on the ice a quarter-century ago. The reunion game was held in conjunction with the team's 25th anniversary celebrations. Those celebrations continued until about 10:30 p.m. Sunday, after a pot luck dinner for Cents' fans and players, this season's and past. Originally the Exeter Hawks were scheduled to play the current Centenaires a regularly scheduled game Sunday night, but it has been postponed until a later date. In the Centenaires only start last week they were pounded 5-1 by the Morenz division -leading other Hawks at Mitchell last Wednesday night.
