As the only Centenaire who's remained on
the team for seven years, Steve McInally was
honoured Friday night by the Se/forth team.
"Despite many requests and urges for him
to join other teams, he's had seven
unprecedented years as a Centenaire,
remaining faithful to his hometown team and
playing a pivotal part in convincing others to
stay," Cents' manager Dave Parsons told the
crowd during a dedication ceremony of
McInally's team sweater.
As a three-year all-star team member, four-
year most valuable player, two-year captain
and four-year top scorer, McInally was an
inspiration to all the players, said Parsons.
A new award in McInally's name will be
awarded each year to the player who best
exemplifies dedication, commitment and
heart while his team sweater will hang from
the rafters of the arena.
McInally, now 23 and playing Senior A in
Clinton, said he loved being on the
•
Centenaires Junior D team from 1993 to
2000.
"I'm very honored. I never thought this
would happen," he said of the evening's
tribute to his seven years as a Centenaire.
Some of his best memories of his time as a
Centenaire include a quadruple overtime
game against Mitchell in 1994, which lasted
until 2 a.m. when Mitchell won 2-1 after 102
shots on goal by both teams.
"I was playing as a midget as well as a
junior that year and I had to play a midget
game the next day," he said.
Another good memory comes from 1995,
the year the Centenaires put Exeter out of the
playoffs in a seven -game series.
"We had a big rivalry against Exeter," he
said.
And, a bittersweet memory is his final
game as a Centenaire when Seaforth was put
out of the playoffs by Mitchell in 2000.
"I stayed after the game by myself, sat on
the bench in Mitchell and looked at the ice
for a long time that night," he said.
Unique hockey tournament
emphasizes sportsmanship
By Scott Hilgendorff
Expositor Editor
A total of 24 teams will
take to the ice this
weekend in the 35th
annual Knights of
Columbus hockey
tournament.
And organizers are
trying to reemphasize the
tournament's original
concept of sportsmanship.
"We're striving to get
back to the basics of
sportsmanship," said
George Kreutzwiser,
hockey committee chair
for the local Knights of
Columbus group.
"We shoot to encourage
children to come out and
play that halve never
played before, out of the
separate schools," said
Kreutzwiser.
The teams are pulled
from separate schools in
Huron and Perth County
and Kreutzwiser said
almost all of the schools
in the system participate
now.
"It's about
sportsmanship and fun.
It's not competitive," said
Kreutzwiser.
Anyone in Grades 3 to
8 can participate, giving
youth who may have
never been able to play
minor hockey a chance to
enjoy being on a team for
the tournament.
"We're getting great
participation from all the
schools involved," said
Kreutzwiser.
Hensall library
will expand
By Angela Pickering
Lakeshore Advance Staff
Friends of the Library
have been granted
permission for their
expansion project that will
take over the old council
chambers.
At Bluewater's Committee
of the Whole meeting on
Feb. 12, a delegation
presented information
concerning the go-ahead to
renovate the library in
Hensall into the space that
was previously used as
council chambers.
At the November,
Bluewater Transition Board
meeting, the board passed a
resolution to recommend
that Bluewater council
support the Hensall Library
expansion.
An expenditure of $50,000
was allotted by the Hensall
Council from the sale of
their PUC.
The Friends of the Library
focussed on the positive
effects it will have on the
Village of Hensall.
Spokeswoman Mary Lynn
MacDonald asked for the
approval so they can start
on the project as soon as
possible.
Council felt that a
committee should be
formed to work with the
Friends of the Library to
work together through the
tender process and
construction.
A• motion was passed by
Brad Mousseau and
seconded by Diane
Denomme that the Friends
of the Hensall Library be
given permission to proceed
with the expansion and
renovations to the library. It
was also noted that
Bluewater will pay for the
costs until the money from
the sale of the Hensall PUC
is received.
Teams are divided into
junior and senior levels of
Grade 3 to 5 students and
Grade 6 to 8.
Junior play on Saturday
from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. at
Seaforth and District
Community Centres while
seniors take to the ice the
same times Sunday.
The Knights of
Columbus will also be
holding a breakfast at the
centre both days starting
at 7:30 a.m. and ending
Saturday at 11:30 a.m.
and Sundpy at 12:30 p.m.
The breakfast will help
raise funds to pay for the
tournament.
"It's for the
appreciation of fun and
fair play," said
Kreutzwiser.
