Clinton News-Record, 1983-01-12, Page 8PAGE 8—CLINTON NEWS -RECORD, WEDNESDAY , JANUARY 12, 1983
Pri ter to November 1 the
story of the Clinton Mustang
Junior C season was not a
pleasant one. The team was
struggling with a 1-7 record
tinder Coach Dave Wilkin-
son. Today under new Head
Coach Jin Nigro the team
has a revitalized spirit and a
much improved 9-12 record,
good for fourth place in their
�, wisnon.
Winning is noth foreign
to Jim "Tiny" Nigro and his
15 year coaching career.
Nigro hails from Stratford
>v.
Jim "Tiny Nigro"
Must
wnere he has succeeded as
both a player and a coach.
Hes coaching days started in
1967 with the Stratford
Juveniles when he led the
team to four league cham-
pionships and three All -
Ontario championships. In
1981-82 Nigro led the
Stratford Major Midgets to
the All -Ontario cham-
pionships. Winning seems to
follow hurl wherever he
travels.
In 1972 Nigro was honored
by the city of Stratford as
Sportsman of the Year for
his job with the cham-
pionship juvenile squad and
his affiliation with sports in
Stratford. His list of awards
didn't 'tin as hp w;.44:
honored again m 1973 and
1982 as Coach of the Year.
Nigro is currently em-
ployed at Kroehler Furniture
in Stratford where he is
involved with quality con-
trol.
Nigro has Junior hockey
coaching experience as he
spent a year in Seaforth
coaching the Junior D's
before going to Cambridge to
finish part of a Junior B
season.
When Nigro took over the
Mustang coaching reins m
early November he knew the
team had the right attitude
and that all the club needed
was motivation.
"We , had one practice
together beffo our next
game. After : a practice 71
knew that the team had a
winning attitude," said
Nigro.
Nigro's future as a coach
in Clinton following this
season r ,mains uncertain.
"I hope to finish up this
season and after that it's up
to the team's executive as to
what happens. Right now I
just want to do well and then
we will sit and talk," said
Nigro.
As the season wears on and
the playoffs approach the
Clinton Mustangs under new
Coach Jim Nigro appear to
be a contender to be
reckoned with.
Support for ringette
The Clinton Ringette team
is now into their third season
of play. Although the girls
have not succeeded in
winning in the past, their
improvement of skills has
won them two games, one tie
and two losses.
Ringette is a sport for girls
using a sawed-off hockey
stick and a rubber ring.
Since ringette is a hard
sport to explain in words,
find out for yourself and
attend the game at the
Clinton arena Sunday,

the second period with three
quick goals before Paul
Wright fed Jeff Jewitt with a
nice pass to bring Clinton
within one goal. South
London played hard to hold
the Clinton boys off the
scoreboard in the third to
win the game 3-2.
Back to league play on
Friday evening, Clinton
hosted the Wingham
Peewees. With Wingham
always being a hard skating
and checking team, the

Fish arid

Amid hats and ,".orns, hugs
and kisses, The Clinton Fish
and Game Club rang in the
New Year at the club dance.
A good selection of music
was played by Dave and
Wendy Mitton of Sensational
Sound, and the members and
guests danced from one year
into the next.
Thanks goes to John
McKeagan, from Pizza
Train for donating pizzas
and fries for a late evening
meal. His thoughtful
generosity started the new
year off in style.
Although there was a poor
turnout for the dance, New
Year's Day was a different
story. A large number of
members and guests came
down to the clubhouse, to
meet and visit with old
friends and new ones. We
hope everyone enjoyed
themselves, and that we'll
see you again before the
year is out.
Members are reminded
that darts are back again
every Friday evening, and
