Championship STEPHEN TOWNSHIP - After winning two close one -goal games, the Stephen Town- ship Novice rep. team cruised to an easy 9-1 victo- ry over Mildmay last Tuesday to win the WOAA "D -DD" championship. Jason Thompson scored four goals, Brent Windsor and J.T. Knee scored two and Greg Thompson scored one with Blair McCann, Cale Duenk and Leanne Cronyn getting the assists. Coach Bev Thompson said the lopsided win was due to the players regaining their form. "We got our old style of hockey back with lots of puck movement and every- body skating well," he said, adding they seemed to be oft their game after going the distance with Drayton play- ing them five games in the semi-finals. "That was a tough series and Drayton seemed get us away from our game...the kids were pumped affer get- ting by that," explained Thompson. Winning the WOAA was the highlight of a successful sea- son that saw the Stephen novice team win the Bill Bat- ten tournament in Exeter and clinch the Regional Sliver Stick tournament to advance to the International Silver Stick in Michigan. excter Nationals lastball Club O •evi '/routs xeter Public School gym Sun., April 6,1-3 p.m. .
