I think the team has more points now than most people in Clinton thought we would get all year"- Clinton Mustang Head Coach Bob Zimmer, after his team had blasted the Hanover Barons 7-3 last Sunday night. The old question arises once more in the sports circles of Clinton. Where are the fans and why don't they support local teams? The Clinton Junior C Mustangs have averaged well below 50 fans a game this season. Many people use the excuse that they have no desire to support a team that gets blown out of the rink every time they set foot on the ice. A waste of time they say. While that has held true for much of the Mustangs season, it is no longer true. Mustang President Larry Daw said a few weeks ago that he was "very disappointed" in the fan support the Juniors are getting. He said some Clinton people wouldn't support the Mustangs because there wasn't enough local talent on the team. Daw has stocked his roster with area players and has only one import signed. .Now they complain that there shouldn't be so many locals because the team is losing too many games. That argument doesn't hold water. The Mustangs started the season much like a toddler, learning to walk. They had 10 rookies in the line-up and two of them were goaltenders. Coach Zimmer had the unenviable task of turning these players into a team. Zimmer stands firmly behind the philosophy "you have to crawl before you walk". It was evident in their first 10 games of the season. The team was literally crawling - crawling for some place to hide. Memories of the 20-2 bombing they absorbed 1ow1i g . w standings was undoubtedly on the minds of these players each time they took to the ice. "Give us a couple of months and we should be in pretty good shape," were the words of Zimmer on Oct. 2, following a 5-3 exhibition loss tp the Port Elgin Bears. His words are becoming truth. The team has played excellent hockey in their last four games. Two weeks ago, the Mustangs beat the first -place Port Elgin Bears 3-1 and knocked off the Walkerton Black -Hawks 6-3. Last Friday, with any luck, the team would have beaten Kin- cardine but came up on the short end off a 7-4 score. On Sunday, they came up with their biggest win of the season in bombing the Hanover Barons 7-3. This is not the same team that began the season together. Respectability has crept back into the Mustang dressing room. Remember Rome wasn't built in a day. This team is improving and will continue to improve. Fan support is must. As Daw says, "During most of our games you could shoot a cannon down each side of the rink and you wouldn't hit anything." Let's see some fan support for our local teams. It's up to you. Santa and the 'Stangs On Dec. 23, Santa Claus will be attending the Mustangs - Wingham game and will be hanging out candy to the kiddies. Elementary children accompanied by an adult will be admitted free and will receive a candy bag. The Junior C's would like to thank Don Middleton for his donation of a bushel of Maclntosh apples for the event. 50-50 winners Howard Armstrong and John Little were the winners of the Junior C 50-50 draw.
