Jets back, despite attendance
By Nina Van Lieshout
TIMES -ADVOCATE STAFF
LUCAN BIDDULPH —
Despite low attendance,
Lucan Ilderton Jets gener-
al manager Rob Andrews
says the team will return
next year.
"It's tough," says
Andrews, adding,
although, "we do have a
pretty loyal group of sup-
porters," the stands are
empty often. "It's tough
being in such close prox-
imity to London."
Andrews says he would
be pleased to see a larger
crowd in the stands sup-
porting the team.
This year the Jets won
17 out of 26 games, for 36
points.
However, the Jets lost
against the Elora Rocks
during the first round of
the playoffs, their third
straight playoff loss to the
Rocks over the past three
years.
But Andrews says the
Jets won't let the loss
bring them down, adding
"we placed third on the
south side out of 10
teams."
Andrews is hoping the
league makes a few
changes, explaining that
"hopefully they'll be
reconsidering their playoff
grouping," adding, it
doesn't make a lot of
sense for Lucan to play
Elora in the playoffs, as
the Jets didn't play the
Rocks all season.
Andrews says playing
another team on the south
side would be better
because then "you "build
up the rivalry," explain-
ing, "you lose that as soon
as you get to the playoffs."
Next season Andrews
says "There will be big
changes on our team.
There will be a lot of new,
young faces in our line-
up"
Andrews says the team
is getting pumped for next
season, adding he hopes
to see more people in the
stands.
"This is probably the
best hockey in the area,"
he said.
"To have a competitive
team for four years is
quite an accomplishment."
