Junior A i a bi decision BY LIZ WHAMS At the age of 16 and with high school almost out, most students are thinking about relaxing in the sun, going on holidays and generally living it up until September rolls ' around and they're back in school, But for two area hockey players this summer could be the beginning or the end of plans for a professional hockey career. Pat Murray from Dublin and Dave Akey from Seaforth must decide if they will attend the training camps of the Junior A teams that drafted them in May, and then try out for those teams. if they stay at the camp more than 48 hours they lose their eligibility for a hockey scholarship to a college in the States. The National College Athletic Association views Junior A hockey as professional players ecause pare a nots are o for Junior U.S. hockey scholarships. Canada does not offer sports scholarships, This presents 'a serious problem for Pat who was chosen by the Windsor Spitfires in the sixth round. He was rated 82 overall. The left-winger plans to go to the Windsor camp but whether or not he'll stay depends on what they have to offer, "If I like it, I'll stay." If it's not what he wants, he will leave before the 48 hours are up and go back to school. Pat says his marks are good so he doesn't want to close any doors. "If I don't make the team, I'll go on to Grade 13 and then on to the U.S. if they offer me a scholarship. I want to be a physical education teacher, teaching biology and phys. ed." Dave, on the other hand, is not worried about losing his chance at a U.S.: hockey scholarship. "It takes something special to play Junior A as well as college hockey. The level of hockey and competition is high in Junior A." Dave, a defenceman, was not rated in the top dozen rounds but was chosen by the London Knights in the eleventh round. He says his rating went down because he played Junior D as well as Junior B hockey last season but that playing with the Seaforth Centenaires (Junior D) and winning the all -Ontario Junior D championship actually 4 PAT MURRAY helped because London had a chance to look at him longer, Paul Cook, assistant coach for the London Knights, said that, the London scouts were w impressed by the ay Dave played. "We saw Dave Akey play and felt that he could maybe help us out, We're looking for left defencemen and Akey is a left defense - man. We have a lot of holes to fill and we're a young team.'', Dave is definitely going to the London ;ley play inner -squad games so after the first game I'll see. I'll talk to the coach, Don Boyd. I'm working on weights. I'm at 175 pounds but I want to get up to 185. "I'm confident I'll make the team. If I don't, I'd like to finish Grade 12 next year and go right into college in the States if offered a scholarship."{ Dave says hie wouldn't mind being a lawyer or a professioi al baseball player. He plays for the Exeter Juniors baseball team right now. "It'd be nice but I don't think it'll happen." Dave scored 13 goals and 41 assists while playing for the Junior B Listowel Cyclones DAVE AKEY and the Seaforth Junior D Centenaires' last season. He says he would enjoy moving to London to play with the Knights, "If Idon t make the team, they might send me to the St. Thomas Stars, their Junior B team." Pat says he was surprised to be drafted by Windsor because he hadn't heard from that team at all. Last season Pat played for the Stratford Cullitons of the Midwestern Junior B league, picking up 13 goals and 26 assists, "I like playing in Stratford. The Cullitons play a lot faster hockey. The only criticism about playing in Stratford is that hockey takes up a lot of time so you can't play a lot of other sports. Pat is interested in all sports. He also likes math and accounting. He moved to Stratford last year to play hockey and attends Stratford Central Sec- ondary eo-ondary School. If he decides not to play Junior A hockey, he will return to Stratford to finish high school. Junior A hockey is only one step from the National Hockey League so this decision is a very important one to both players.
