On Dec. 19, almost all of them did. According to Deb Roy, Test Day _chairperson, it is not uncommon to have a high failure rate, especially in the first test of the season. But, out of-Alt,34 tests conducted that day only five didn't pass. "Sometimes you're lucky to have 50 per centof the skaters pass and it gets more difficult in higher lev- els," said Roy. "The success rate to- day speaks for the coaches. It tells us they are working hard to get the: kids where they are at." Approximately ; 25 -skaters were tested on the ice- surface at- - the South Huron Recreation Centre - from preliminary levels -up to gold, with .some skating for more than • ' one test. Gold is highest level that. canbe reached by a figure skater and club member Melissa Timmenmans reached gold in two of her dances. "It's a real achievement to reach that level..k takes a lot of work and dedication.

After shutting out Chat- sworth 3-0 in the opening' game Stephen defeated Thornbury 3-1.and blew away Mildmay? -I to earn a berth in the semi-finals where they met Milverton, a wild- card team. Stephen got on the board early with two quick goals in the first period, however, Mil- verton tied the game at two by the end of the second and scored the only goal of the third period. Head coach Randy Somer- ville said it was a disappoint- ing lossbecause he knew they were ,capable of beat- ing Milverton: "The boys were pumped up for a win and I thought they were going to go all the way," he said crediting Mil- verton for playing a smarter game. "They played their positions well and skated harder than we did. They came out to win." Somerville said the team, which was a little overconfi- dent going into the game, learned a valuable lesson from the Silver Stick Tourna- ment and are eager to get back into regular league ac- tion. "We have to put this loss • behind us...we have a lot of hockey left," he said. Chiefs take a win and a tie EXETER - The Exeter Juvenile - team earned a win and a tie in their last two games.
