Andy Glavin, were the
two overage players.

may play for a rec league
team or even the

Jarrett Jeffrey (rookie of the year).
Hawks coach Scott
Bogart and assistant
coach Steve Matthews.
"I don't have the com-
mitment," Bogart said
after announcing his first
year coaching the Hawks
would be his last. "The
players deserve a coach
that can put 100 per cent
in it."
Bogart hopes to be
involved with the Hawks
in some capacity next
season and will perhaps
serve on the executive.
Assistant coach Dave
Dalrymple said he hopes
to remain behind the
bench With the team next
season and. will apply for
the head coaching posi-
tion.
Team president
McCann said the execu-
tive is looking for new
members with "new
ideas and energy" •and
anyone interested is
invited to the club's
annual meeting in May.
Despite the early exit
from the playoffs,
McCann considers the
season a success since it
was one of "transition"
with new players and a
new coaching staff. He
said the team is "close to
breaking even" financial-
ly this season.
"Our goals for this year
were not lofty," he said.
Bogart said winning is
fine, but there are even
more important matters
when you play on a
team.
"Building new friend-
ships," he said.
"Sometimes that gets
overlooked."
