LUCAN - Looking perhaps into the future instead of the present, the Lu -
can Irish iced a team completely of rookies last Wednesday night in their
opening preseason game against Seaforth.
The visiting Centenaires, with the bulk of their 1993-94 squad on the
ice, skated to a 5-2 OHA Junior Development League win.
Of those who suited up for the Irish, coach Ken Needham and assistant
Jamie Pearce suspected about four of those would make this year's team.
"lt
wasjust to give them a chance and let them know what it's like," said
_Needham. •
`"The rookies took some physical pounding frem the Cents but throughout
most of the game, managed to stand their ground.
Needham, who has got a big rebuilding job on his hands, will:have to
carefully sift through the rookies and see what kind of team hecancreate.
"A couple of years from now, some of them will be hew," he said of.the
-rookies' chances of making the team in the -future.
'Most of the names on the Irish roster Wednesday were familiar ones as
they have played minor hockey in either Ilderton or Lucan where many of
them are expected to play again this year.
—There was four kids out there we're going to sign." was impressed with
them.fortheirage," said Needham of those 16 and 17.yrears-Old.
Wednesday's .game was far -from dramatic and looked .like just what it
was, a pre -season contest. Seaforth, with a game.aineady-beneath their
blades scored: four goals in a 414Iaipan;in the third period.
