The club, which is being coached by Doug Anstett this year, is faced with a rebuilding year in the 'upcoming season. •• The club lost six players from last year's team as they are now overage,, A lot of the big guns from last year's team have gone to other teams as well., The l'eague's highest scorerlast year, Gerry Wright has gone to play for a university teach in Nova Scotia, .

That includes an assis- tant coach, as the team does not yet have -one. Mr. Anstett expects he will have a young team`this year and is hoping to get a` lot of talented players who will be able to return to play for the team next year. At the .. same time, this year is by no means a write- off and Mr. Anstett still thinks the team should make the playoffs. Some players Mr. Anstett thinks will real- ty'help out the team this year are .Kevin Melady, Kevin Williamson, and Mike Bet ties if he returns'. All three are three-year- • veterans who played on the Centenaires ' team that won tire • provincial championship 'three seasons ago. Some newer players Mr. Anstett is expecting to'help lighten the load this season are Mike.Schoonderwoerd and Steve Schroeder. Mr, Anstett expects-sometough.competi- tidnthis'year. The Brussels team will have a - lot of veterans and will'have a few•players_ that were among last year's top.10 scorers • returning., Also returning to the Brussel's squad with be the league's best goalie. • Exeter is another, team, that has veteran players and a hot goalie: • ' . There will be sift teams in the north league this year with' the addition of a new team from Wellesley. Mr: Anstett said he believes they too will be a strong team this year, and said they/probably would not join the league unless they could put together a competitive • team. ' The Centenaires team has.been around for 15 years prior to this season .and• has had three league championships, the last of which was in the season before last when the team won the entire O. -LA. Last year the team was a strong one with soine..of the re= maining playera from the previous year, but injuries; hampered the team near the end of the season and held them back. • In -recent -years, 'however -the, team has --September 15 and 17 the team will -start hada hard time keeping its talentedplayers. practicing with hall hockey for conditioning. in town.

'If we had those four we would he un- touchable,'- said Mr. Anstett. But, he said, we have'to encouragethese people to move up the ladderand do the hest they can. ' Part of the reason Mr. Anstett sees-for•the success of these 'players is because of Seaforth's minor hockey system, which he considers to be one of the best around, In spite of problems keeping the best players in town, Seaforth is still going to have a competitive team this year.

Corbett photo Local club hosts tournament The Seaforth-Mitchell Karate club held its first tournament August 28 in Seaforth and local competitors did quite well. The tourna- ment attracted 75 competitiors front six dif- ferent clubs, one club coming all the way from Owen Sound fbr the•competition. Club Sensei or coach Rob Malloch said he felt the tournament went. well but pointed • out if the event had taken place in the fall or spring there could have been 300 to 350 com- petitors: Summer time is slow for karate clubs and many clubs close,their doors until things pick up•in fall. • • The local club did put in a good showing at the tournament taking home a dozen trophies. There are two events that com- petitors can be judged on in karate tour- naments, one being sparring which is a mock fight, or as Mr. Malloch puts it 'a fan- cy game of tag.' It is a way for participants to fight without hurting one another. The se- cond event is Kata which is a series of moves, or a routine, and participants are judged on•how well they execute the moves. Local winners were Debbie McGrath - first place in sparring, Mike Shean - second in sparring, Rob Glew -first in sparring. Criag McGrath - third in Kate, Jean Hasson - first in Kata and third in sparring, Mark McGrath - first in Kata, Ryan Contois -.se- cond in Kata and third in sparring. and Jeff Parker with a third and Andy Parker who recieved a second and 0 first. The Tournament is the first of what is hoped to be an annual event. The purpose of this tournament was to raise money to buy tumbling mats. The club still can't afford the mats, but everyone had a good time. Re-eieet Jack Riddell Huron's Strong Voice on the Peterson Team 014 Year Veteran in the Ontario Legislature .
