Ile gets to coach London Knights twins Matt and Ryan Rupert at this week's NHL rookie tournament rather than face them this fall. "It's going to be great seeing them (together) in the lineup (Saturday)," Spott id. "They're better together. They have �mistry and to see those two boys with e 'Toronto Maple Leafs sweater on is going to be special for their family. They re hard-nosed, character kids and they've got the hearts of guys who are 6 -foot -3 or 4.' Spott intends to use the brothers, likely on a line with former Leafs first -rounder Tyler Biggs, in the Saturday -night show- case game against Pittsburgh. Will Ryan Rupert take an old-fashioned run at Pens hopefuls and Knights pals 011i Maatta and Scott I larrington? "Probably not," he said with a grin. "I don't tend to do those to the guys I know." Spott's vast knowledge of the twins and their rough-and-tumble game should work to their advantage, according to Ryan, a Leafs pick. 1t tnight also lend a helping hand to Matt, still an NHL free agent and looking for a contract to sign. "Other than their last names, they both deserve a lot of respect because they're both special players," Spott said. "Look at their numbers in the playoffs last year. Matt was outstanding. They've both got a ton of ability, they're gritty players, agita- tors, and both have a chance to be good pros one day." Getting a foot in the door is Matt's top priority. "This is a chance to try to get signed and show 1 can play at the AHL level, e. -SPORTS BRIEFS Oakwood Ladles Wednesday A!1 Day League Clossst to the Pin on 0 9 Ella Meadows Susan Thayer -1st Low Net Myrna Bennett — 2nd Low Net Lynne Des)ardlne — 3rd Low Net Gail Lawson — 4th Low Net 15 ladies participated In the Wednesday Ladles Golf League at Oakwood Resort on September 4, 2013.

"The guys here are bigger and stronger and It's just like my first year in the OHL. I proved a lot of people wrong there, because I was smaller, and it's Just move up a level and do It again." The Ruperts, who normally live at Knights coach Dale Hunter's house, are staying in a London hotel for the first time. If you think that's strange, long- time foes Spott and Knights GM Mark Hunter watched a practice together on Thursday. "I often say hockey brings out the best and worst in people," said Spott, whose last OHL game was a Budweiser Gardens playoff loss. "That was a good example. There's so many good people in hockey and for Mark and I, with 17 years of com- peting against each other, to sit and have a nice talk was fantastic."
