The Huron -Perth area had already been recognized as a Triple 'A' zone by the Ontario Hockey Association, because players from the two counties were playing in different Triple 'A' zones. Meetings are being held with representatives from the different centers who could contribute to the league, and according to Joe Lobb, a director of the newly established hockey association, a good percentage of centres are being represented. He noted that while there were about five interested parties at the first meeting, there were 15 at the second, and 30 at the third, and added, With 30 centres represented in the Huron -Perth zone - Brussels, Elma Logan, Wallace, Embro, Tavistock, Mitchell, Normanby, Goderich, Drayton, Ripley, Teeswater, Seaforth, Blyth, Clinton, Stephen Township, Bayfield, Belgrave, Clifford, Belmore, St. Marys, Minto, Listowel, Hensall, Howick, Lucknow, Exeter, Zurich, Milverton, Mildmay and Wingham - Lobb stressed that Triple 'A' hockey will be open to all to come and try out for the teams. This is your hockey program. This Triple 'A' belongs to each of those centres." Triple 'A' hockey for Huron -Perth, which has been recognized by the OMHA and the WOAA, will provide a higher level of hockey competition for the areas, and allow the players who make the team to lay at a higher skill level. Some centres have expressed concerns about losing one or two top players, Lobb said, and added that while this is a concern, those players will at least have a chance to "play up" to their skill level. Akey offered some statistics on how "Triple 'A' hockey can benefit players who have the goal of progressing in the hockey ranks. He noted that of the 313 players picked in the OHL draft for 1995, 134 were from the Midget Triple 'A' level, while 95 came from Tier 11 'A', and 59 came from the Junior B system". The higher skill level, he said, will give players in all the centres "something to shoot for." With the advanced level of play, with team members from all over the two counties, Lobb noted the games will also be of interest to fans, as Triple 'A' is "an entertaining level of hockey." In answer to concerns that the Triple 'A' level can be expensive for parents, Akey explained that registration has been set at $600, but with two fundraisers the executive will coordinate, parents will have the opportunity to lower the registration costs. He also answered concerns about drive time to games, noting that now local teams travel to Kincardine, Mount Forest, Durham and Port Elgin, and in Triple 'A' they will be going to London, Elgin -Middlesex, Lambton County, Chatham and Windsor. "So, they'll just be driving in a different direction now." With the constitution and bylaws recently put in place for the Huron -Perth Triple 'A' Lakers, the team is now in the process of sendi ,r t notifications for Liig evaluatio will be in the area. For. ' ' . -97 have Mini Y* ajor Atom, P and Banditti " ''i one Midget team, and they will be using Clinton as home ice. Although the teams will be in its inaugural year, Akey is confident that the Lakers will put some good squads on the ice. "We think we can be competitive if we get a decent turn -out," he said. Both players and coaches are being sought for the inaugural season of the Huron -Perth Triple 'A' Lakers. Spring evaluations for players will be held in two locations for the 1996-97 season.
