This program, now in its fourth year, will reward and recognize 13 minor hockey teams in Canada for the amount of heart they show rather than the amount of games they win. Minor hockey teams across Canada are once again encour- aged to submit their team roster and, in 250 words or less, an essay outlining their team's val- ues, special characteristics, community involvement and dedication that could make them a "Future Team Canada." Complete program details can be found by clicking here or on the "Future Team Canada" icon found on the Hockey Canada web site at www.hockeycana- da. ca Deadline for submissions to participate in the program is Dec. 7. By entering the "Future Team Canada" program, teams can become eligible to receive equipment and financial sup- port for their team. "Minor hockey in Canada is all about having fun, meeting new friends and being physically active. We were very pleased with the response last year and look forward to running this program again that will result in the distribution of equipment and funding to another 13 deserving minor hockey teams in Canada that personify team dedication and positive values", said Gretzky. "This `Future Team Canada' program continues to be an excellent way to promote the positive values of minor hockey, with the emphasis on being involved in hockey and more importantly having fun playing the game", said Bob Nicholson, president of Hockey Canada.

"It was bound to happen," says Lucan-Ilderton Jets general manager Rob Andrews, adding, "We really came out flat. That was the big thing." Andrews also says goalie Dave Riddell wasn't having a good night. Goalie Jamie Wallace, the Jets' third goalie was brought into the game halfway through the second period. The Jets were down 5-1 after the first period, with Jeff Cook scoring the lone goal. The Jets were behind 7-4 after the second, with Mark Landon, Todd Hunt and Jason Davies scoring. During the third Cook scored his second goal, while Corey Smith scored the last Jets' goal of the night for a final score of 9-6. "We gave up six power play goals, which really hurt," says Andrews, adding, "The whole night the guys were off. We were flat. I'm not making any excuses but we were missing a couple of key players too, but that happens to everybody." Andrews says the Royals took advantage of the miss- ing Jets players, explaining that the Royals "played the way they were supposed to play." The Jets are also "battling some key injuries right now," says Andrews, explaining they have also just lost Brady Kjeldgaard to a three game suspension for gross misconduct for traves- ty of the game.
