.HENSALL - With a total goal
record of 37-8' in four exhibition
gas, you would think Hawks
coach George Pratt would have lit-
tle to worry about.
Actually, he is concerned - about
overconfidence.
With few .teams presentingrauch
of a challenge to The Hawks. line-
ups_ as ,they breezed .through•pre-
season play, he's worried the Man
might expect to be as dominant' in
the regular season.
"We're going to be seeing teams
we haven't seen before," said a cau-
tious Pratt, pointing out that not
only have they not faced some•of
the other teams on the ice yet, those
they have •played have probably
been made up of experimental line -
ups as coaches test out new players.
Even so, the Hawks can boast of
having "four pretty strong lines,"
:said Pratt.
- Fans can watch out for Mark Liv,
-ermorc, with whom Pratt said has
been impressive in exhibition play..
Good things can also be expected
from Brian Gardner and Jon Shie-
del, be said.
Friday evening's game in Hensall
against the Wellesley Applejacks
represented a full test of what Pratt
was describing as about "90 percent
eof+what we'll be using"
it's down to the last two or three
cuts," he said, but noted that those
decisions will be the hardest to
°-make, and those who don't make
ithe team will likely take it hard.
The final decision on who will be
in net this season will also be made
in the next few days.
"We've got .three goalies right
now and they're all playing well,"
said Pratt, describing that decision
as particularly tough. The three are
Kirk Durand, Brandon Ropy, and
Chris Lynden.
"One of them's going to be disap-
pointed," he said.
The final score of 13-3 -Friday
was the result:of a goalfest for Atte
Hawks, .who . actually racked .up
more goals little first five minutes
of.the.third:period than the Apple-
jacks did -in the whole game.
Two goals each were scored by
Ray Cousineau, Mark Livermore,
and _Scott Smale. Shayne Robin -
.son, Steve Farquhar, Dave Dalrym-
ple, Chad Gilfillan, Nick .Szabo,
Nathan Blight, and Jamie Cornish
each had a goal apiece.
Nathan Burns, Livermore, .and
:Jon Schiedel were .tops .in the assist
.::category, with three points each.
A brawl at.the end of the second
;:period also concerned Pratt, who
•raid discipline will also be impor-
Sant to.the.team's success in coming
weeks.
""We've:got:to:ieeep under control
rthd keepuaut!of:he penalty box,"
. he said.

"We're really stressing condition-

ised "they'll be in shape."
The Hawks season opens in
Parkhill on October 4, with the
home -opener hosting Alvinston on
