Calgary -Calgarrreadying excellent fadllities for '88 Winter Games
Residents of Calgary in particular and generally most Canadians Team Canada will be playing two of their seven exhibition games sion network. That's almost triple the revenue originally counted

December 12 in Hamilton and the following night at the London
• Gatens.
After 25 games against professional, international and collegiate
competition Team Canada has won 16, lost seven and tied two. The
team has six players sent down from NHL teams for seasoning
are looking forward to the 1988 Winter Games in Calgary.
Canada's Sports Minister Otto Jelinek says Olympic Park in
Calgary is a jewel as far as winter sports complexes are concerned.
The park on the western outskirts of Calgary used to be a small
recreational ski area where children first took to the slopes to learn
the basics before tackling the distant Rockies.
Although still used for recreational skiiing it has been transform-
ed by the federal government into its centrepiece of the upcoming
Olympics.
There is Canada's first and only luge and bobsleigh track with
refrigeration so powerful that it exceeds the ice -making
capabilities of all of the country's NHL arenas combined. Calgary
disaster authorities are preparing an evacuation plan for nearby
communis"- in the event of a massive ammonia leak.
Near the track are the towering 70 and 90 metre ski jumps com-
plete with a restaurant and lounge offering a panorama of the
Calgary skyline on one side and the majestic Rockies on the other.
At the bottom of the hill, construction is'nearing completion of
a national training centre. This winter work will begin on a new
daylodge complete with a permanent adjoining $2.5 million Olym-
pic Hall of Fame.
To make sure that all the facilities are ready for the 1988 Olym-
pics, the balance of this year and in the most of 1987 an even dozen
World Cup or invitational tournaments will come to Calgary as
Preview '88.
From December 27 to January 4 the national teams of Canada,
Czechoslovakia, the U.S. and the Soviet Union will compete in the
Calgary Cup hockey tournament.

under coach Dave King who puts heavy emphasis on practices.
Preview '88 is a test of the systems of the Olympics according
to Bill Pratt who is in charge of a mushrooming organization that
now has 200 employees and plans to grow to 300 staff by the time
of the Winter Games. They will combine with 10,000 volunteers
come Olympic time.
The games in Calgary will be costly at about $800 million not in-
cluding the cost of building the major facilities. The first project
the Saddledome hockey arena was completed for $100 million,
about 10 percent over estimates.
Finances are being helped greatly by the signing of a record $309
million in U.S. funds exclusive rights contract with the ABC televi-

More on Pooleys
The latest issue of the Hockey News has an interesting headline
on page 29 referring to a story on the Fort Wayne Komets.
It says, "Komets Pooley Their Resources on One Line". The

Hawks continue great road record, lose at home
The Exeter Hawks could make a
good case for wanting to play all their
remaining games on the road this
season.
The locals won both of their road
games this week to solidify their hold
on second place in the northern divi-
sion, but a loss at home prevented
them from moving into a tie with the
first place Brussels Bulls.
The Bulls bombed the Hawks 9-5 at
the rec centre, Friday. On the road,
the locals beat the defending OHA
champion Centenaires in Seaforth on
Tuesday by a 9-5 count and in a Sun-
day game in Clinton, scored a 7-3 win
over the Colts.
The Exeter crew have won only
once at the rec centre this season,
although their record shows two home
wins. However, that other victory was
garnered at Huron Park.
NETS ONE — The Brussels Bulls netminder tumbles over in an un-
successful attempt to thwart Dave Cassone's (24) goal in Friday's
game at the rec centre. However, the Bulls were more adept in the.
scoring department and posted a 9-5 win over the Hawks.
Irish retain second
Although splitting two OHA
Western Junior "D" games this week
the Lucan Irish remain in comfor-
table possession of second place with
a five point margin over Thamesford.
Belmont leads the league with 29
points while the Irish have 24. The
Lucan club still retains three games
in hand in the schedule.
Wednesday on home ice, the Irish
were defeated 4-1 by the league
leading Belmont Bombers and Friday
they returned to winning ways with a
5-3 victory over the Clinton Mustangs.
Tonight, Wednesday, the Lucan
club will be playing host to the
Thamesford Trojans and Saturday
night they will be in Belmont for a
return match with the Bombers.

The only Lucan goal in Wednes-
day's loss to Belmont came from the
stick of Paul Barnes on a three-way
passing combination with captain Bob
Thirlwall and Mark Bannon.
Pat Van Bommell and Jeff Chilvers
were the Belmont marksmen with
two goals apiece. Each scored one on
a power play attempt.
In the Friday win over Clinton: five
different Irish performers shared in
scoring honours.
In the first period, Brad Hodgins
converted a pass from Paul Deplan-
che and Ian Craig set up Paul Barnes
for a successful shot.
Second period Lucan goals were
credited to captain Scott Denomy on
an unassisted effort and Todd Hayter
with the assist going to Jesse
Crawford.
The fifth' and insurance score for
the Irish was registered in the third
period by Brad Muir on passes pro-
vided by Paul Barnes and Rob Hardy.
GENERALS LOSE
The Exeter midget Generals drop-
ped a 4-2 decision in Shamrock hockey

are tied for third with 12 points. Clin-

Tuesday to play their namesakes and

The Hawks complete a busy
weekend when they host Clinton Colts
on Sunday at 7:30 p.m. at the rec cen-

changed from the original schedule.
Midget Stars
After experiencing some netmin-
ding woes at home, Friday, the
Hawks called on midget goalie Fred
Gregus to play between the pipes in
Sundays's game in Clinton and he
responded with 44 saves to help the
team to their 7-3 triumph.
He was particularly brilliant in the
second period when he handled all 20
Clinton shots, while his mates con-
nected on four of the 14 shots they had
on Clinton netminder Derrick Gilders.
The four tallies in the second pull-
ed the Hawks out of a 2-1 first period
deficit.
Dan Nairn paced the attack with a
hat trick performance, while Scott
Lovie and Jon O'Connor added two
each to round out the scoring.
. Jeff Ansems and Sean Whiteford
helped out on two goals each and
drawing single assists were Steve
Gould, Jeff Pfaff, Jeff Reid, Dave
Cassone and Jim Lewis.
The Hawks sat out 10 of the 18
minor penalties called and scored two
powerplay goals and gave up one
while playing a man short.
Bulls See Red
The Brussels Bulls saw the red light
behind the Exeter net nine times on
Friday as they took advantage of
some shaky netminding to keep their

much of the contest, but couldn't find
the range on several good scoring op-
portunities. They led 3-1 early in the
