DuBarry getting ice time with Colgate Red Raiders
By Fred Groves
T -A staff
HAMILTON, N.Y. -Colgate
University nestled in Hamilton,
New York may only be about a
seven hour drive away from the
Exeter area, for Steve DuBarry
the difference in hockey is
quite a ways away.
DuBarry, a Huron Park native
played for the St. Marys Junior 'B'
Lincolns the past two years but
now, he's with the Colgate Red
Raiders of the Eastern College Ath-
letic Conference Division I.
"I played there (St. Marys) for
two years and it was time to move
on," said DuBarry from his dorrni-
tory room.
The 6'4", 200 -pound winger is
one of seven rookies on the 28 -man
roster which is currently in the
midst of it's 30 -game schedule.
"You have to come ready to play
every night. If you're not ready, the
coach won't put you in the lineup."
In the Red Raiders program he is
listed as the largest player on the
team but it's speed rather than size
which is required to play in this
league.
Unlike Junior 'B' hockey, there is
no red line which means passes get
sent up the middle pretty quick. Ac-
cording to DuBarry there is also no
clutch -and -grab which is com-
mon in Ontario junior hockey.
"As far as hockey goes, it's a big
jump. I'm not playing right away.
I'm not upset, we've got 28
players."
Settling into a new routine takes
time and most days begin with
classes and end with a two-hour
practice. Games are on Fridays and
Saturdays so the emphasis here is
on -education.
DuBarry, who has an athletic
scholarship, is currently taking gen-
eral arts classes and will be picking
his major next year. Being a fresh-
men he shares a room with another
athlete, a swimmer from California.
A quick glance at the Red Raid-
ers roster reveals a very impressive
list of players, many t from the
Western Ontario Junior 'B' League.
Ontario talent: Ron Fogarty,
Dan Gardner, Sam Ra4oul and
Scott Steeves are all former Sarnia
Bees while John Dance is from the
Aylmer Aces and DuBarry is from
the Lincolns.
Although it is an American uni-
versity, 10 of the 28 players come
from Ontario.
"There's a guy who lives in Sar-
nia that's a scout, he's been doing it
for five years."
Fogarty was the league leading
scorer before coming to Colgate
and.Gardner pumped in 33,goals in
his final year with the B
DuBarry's credentials are just as
good as he had 33 goals and 36 as-
sists in 49 games with the Linco-
lons who won the regular season ti-
tle a year ago.
As of the Christmas break, Du -
Barry had played in nine games for
the Red Raiders, scoring two goals
and adding one assist while spend-
ing eight minutes in the penalty
box.
He was able to get home for the
break but had to go back early for a
practice. DuBarry says he isn't
home sick and his parents usually
make it up for home games.
Colgate has a very long and rich
hockey tradition as it has been go-
ing strong since 1927. Currently be-
ing coached by Don Vaughan, the
Red Raiders have produced 21
players who have signed with the
National Hockey League.
Among those are Mike Milbury
of the Boston Bruins and Bill
McCreary of the Toronto Maple
Leafs.
Since the conference champion-
ships began in 1962, the Red Raid-
ers have made 15 trips to the final
tournament. They were conference
champs in 1990 and that same year
were national runners-up.
Last year Colgate finish051 with a
9-13-0 record, ninth in the 12- team
league.

After knocking Bothwell's Matt Hind down, Exeter Mohawks
Greg Ryan, left; and Jacques Beaulieu follow the puck during
action in Sunday night's Senior 'A' hockey game.
Senior 'A' -hockey
Down three goals early in game
Mohawks bow 5-3 to Bothwell
EXETER - When you're down three goals even before the midway point
of the first period, it's tough to come back.
The Exeter Mohawks realized that Sunday night as they lost 5-3 to the
visiting Bothwell Bullets at the South Huron Recreation Centre. Despite
the loss, the Mohawks retained second place, one point ahead of the Bul-
lets in the Southwestern Senior 'A' Hockey League.
The loss snapped a three -game winning streak.
Just 10 seconds into the game, Bothwell's Don Hudson won the faceoff
and went in to score on Trevor Hunter. The shot hit Hunter's glove and de-
flected into the net.
It was 3-0 as Rob Vanderydt and Scott Hope scored before Exeter coach
Dave Revington yanked Hunter in favour of Rick Pikul. He gave up the
fourth Bothwell tally to Trevor Bennett. '..
With just 1:19 left in: the opening fttame Joe Scherer found himself
pressed against the boards but he still managed to get the pass to Craig Os-
ter.
Early in the next period, Oster was ejected for checking from behind
which meant the Mohawks had to do some creative line juggling.
It only took 37 seconds into the second for Bothwell to make it 5-1 on a
Tim Horvat goal. That was all they would scote as Pikul played well the
rest of the way.
Richard Hawkins and Greg Murray teamed for a shorthaned goal for the
hosts and in the third Murray scored late but it was too late.
Exeter defensemen Greg Ryan was ejected for high sticking and that
combined with a Greg Snyder and a Jeff Warren gave the Bullets a hig
third -period powerplay which they failed to capitalize on.
Exeter 8. Petroha 5
Friday night in Petrolia, the Mohawks received a very balanced scoring
attack from its full lineup as seven different players scored.
Netting goals were Jacques Beaulieau; Gteg Snyder,' Wayne Urbshott,
Murray, Scherer, Owen Lessard, Jamie Engttsh and Jeff Warren. Murray
also added three assists.
The Mohawks see action again on Saturday when they travel to Aylmer
and Sunday host the league leading Dorchester Dolphins at 7:30 p.m. .
Hamather!s
StayIng Together named tof ithP Yaar1
.HENSALL - Not one, but two.
Bob Hamather has been blessed with two champions this year and
both look like they have an outstanding future in the harness racing busi-
ness.
Last week it was announced that Hamather's three-year superstar Stay-
ing Together has been named the 1993 Harness Horse of the Year as vot-
ed uponby the U.S. Harness Writers Association and North American
`Harness Racing Secretaries Association.
Hamather of Hensall, also owns Freedom's Friend, selected as the two-
year-old filly of the year.
Staying Together received 181 of the 277 votes while Presidential Ball
was far behind at 44 votes. Also receiving votes were Life Sign, Pine
Chip which was the 1993 trotter of the year, and American Winner,
There ii/as little doubt Staying Together would be named the top horse
as it won 21 of 26 starts and of the five non -first place performances
picked.up a second place.
Earnings on the year for the champion horse was 81,169,155, not bad
for a yearling which was purchased for 819,000 back in 1990.
Back ih June at the Meadowlands, Staying Together broke the world -
record for the mile with an incredible time of 1:48 and two-fifths which
was just one of three sub 1:50's he posted last year. - •
Staying Together is trained by Bob McIntosh of Windsor who trained
last Year's horse of the year and Jack Parsons of Hay Township had a big
hand in the horse's early career.
Bill O'Connell was the driver for the horses memorable yeat.
