HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Huron Expositor, 1982-10-20, Page 18A18 — THE HURON EXPOSITOR, OCTOBER 20, 1982 Centenaires are flying high BY KRIS SVELA The Seaforth Centenaires Junior iD squad established that they intend to make their mark in this year's league after capturing three points in their first three games. The Centenaires had little difficulty defeating Tavistock 7-4 in the season opener, tieing. Lucan (last year's OHA champions) 6-6 and losing their third game to Mitchell 4-1. In the first game against Tavistock, the Centenaires played three solid periods of hockey in a see -saw battle. The first two periods saw both teams capitalize on each others' mistakes. However, the Centenaires continued to apply the pressure and managed to take a healthy lead in the third. Outstanding gdaltending by Dan McClure and good passing, shooting. checking and forechecking by the whole squad produced the victory. There were times in the first two periods 'when the Centenaires lapsed into a laid-back style of hockey. which the Tavistock team managed to take advantage of, scoring severateasy goals. But the Centenaires managed to regain their edge finally taking the 7-4 win. The team can take particular pride in their tie with Lucan. who last year went on to capture the All -Ontario. The Lucan squad is equally strong this year, but the Centenaires managed to hold them down. In fact. the Centenaires could have won the game as they were leading 4-1 at one point. The problem once again is the team's tendency to sit on a lead. Against Mitchell, the Centenaires appeared to be tired after playing three games in as manv days. The Mitchell squad managed to pin the Centenaires down in their end for most of the game. The team failed to mount several good drives which were effectively stopped by a tough Mitchell defensive line. A combination of fatigue, sloppy play, poor passing, poor work by the forwards and defence, and the absence of a full line. due to injuries. helped Mitchell take the win. Thanks to the efforts of goalie Dan McClure and Brad Campbell, who played part of the third period, the Seaforth squad avoided being trounced. It was apparent, during the Mitchell game, that the Centenalres do not have a strong power -play and that they continue to underestimate the value off shooting- the puck into the opponent's end. Several drives were stopped at the blueline by Mitchell, after some Seaforth players attempted to penetrate the defence. What happens in plays of this type is that the puck carrier bogs down the rest of the team because they are waiting for him to cross the blueline. To remedy this problem the team should learn to shoot the puck into the end zone and make a drive for it. The team can be proud of the way it played in all three games. There is a noticeable improvement-ffrom game to game. Each player is finding his place on the team and the play is more co-ordinated then in previous years. If the team continues to improve they should have little difficulty in obtaining a,play-offf spot and possible championship. The next Centenaire genie will be against Mitchell, in Clinton. on Friday.

After winning only a mere half dozen games over the past two seasons the young Centenaires are off to their fastest start in several years. Playing their home games in Hensall until the new arena is finished, the Cen- tenaires came tip with a 7-4 victory over the last seasons division leaders, Tavistock Braves and then on Monday night, they held the defend- ing All -Ontario Champions Lucan Irish to a 6-6 draw. Both Tavistock and Lucan lost only a couple of players off last years teams while the Centenaires are mostly all new comers to Jr. hockey. PERFORMANCE ,J Against Tavistock; r f1 e Centenaires were led by Rookie Jim Campbell with a three goat performance and veteran goaltender Dan McClure who kicked out 33 of the 37 shots he faced. Seaforth led 2-1 after the first period with Campbell scoring both goals while Jeff Kaufman scored his first of three tallies on a Tavistock power play. The Braves tied the score at the two minute mark of the second frame on Kaufmans second marker, but the hungry Centenaires came back with goals by Campbell and Mike Kelly to make the score 4-2. Tavistock held a 14-6 edge on shots in the period but were thwarted each time by McClure. extends an imitation to the team to participate Ma Hallowe'en Welcome for the KATIMAVIK participants at the VAN EGMOND HOUSE SUNDAY, OCTOBER 31 4:00-5:30 p.m. Gertz & Social Hour Pot Ludt Supper -6:00 p. m. Coofumo Drees unlit BY DAVE BROOME The 17th Industrial Hockey Leauge season got off to a boisterous start in •Hensall Sunday evening. Although a few souls com- plained of the usual sore legs, lack off wind, etc., many of the players were effusive in their approach to the opening night's matches. Not only did the three contests offer some surprises on the scoreboard but the overall quality appears to be of a greater degree this year. The'Penguins nipped the Flyers by a 4-3 score and served notice early that they were going to be a force to be rec'ned with this hockey year. Solid defensively, the Pens were picked by many pre- season experts to challenge for top -spot. Their early game triumph_ over the highly tout- ed Flyers is considered mildly surprising. HALF -TOME LEAD ' The birds took a half-time 4-1 lead on strength off some good defensive work that was aided by three Flyers miscues that led directly to goals. The Orangeshirts began to get their act together in the 'second period and had a large margin of the play. Pen goalie Jerry Martin was outstanding in stopping a number of close -in drives as the Flyers pressed for the tie. INJURY George Reeves had to enter the nets for the Flyers after goalie Marc Caron injured his knee in the first period. Reeves made some good stops and did not yield a goal in his 30 minute appearance. Ken Swan, Paul Hulley, Brian Dale and Kevin Ben- / nett scored for the Pens. Casey Klaver had a pair for the Flyers with Rick Dalry- mple adding a single score. . HAWKS 7 RANGERS 5 Al Carter stopped a bur - The Bravesnarrowed the gap to 4-3 as Terry Ross beat McClure at the six minute mark. Left winger Peter Bennett regained the Centenaires two goal lead as he took a pass from Jamie Mcainchey and unleased a bullet like drive that Braves netminder Larry Kropf is still looking for. FACE OFF Less than two minutes later the Braves scored what turned out to be their final tally as Kaufman completed his hat trick by beating McClure from close In. John Hicknell upped the Centenaires' lead to 6-4 with a power play goal at 15:04 with Campbell drawing the assist. The locals scored their final goal with less than two minutes remaining when McClinchey won a face-off in the Braves end and defence - man Bob Malone let go a high drive that eluded Kropf. Tavistock held a 37.24 margin on shots on goal while the Centenaires who are playing much more agressively thus far received 28 minutes in penalties com- pared to the Braves 25. CENTEN AIRES 6 IRISH 6 In the game against the Irish the Centenaires scored two goals in the first four minutes of the opening peri- od eriod and except for a :58 second span midway through the second frame had com- plete control of the game. Captain Dave Erb and Peter Bennett scored for the Centenaires while strong checking and the stellar netminding of Dan McClure Please turn to page 19 improve rage of shots and his acrobat- ic performance enabled the Hawks to upset the Rangers 7-5 during the night's second encounter. Many felt the Rangers would be in for a long season but they owned most of the play in their game despite the loss. The Blucshirts pulled out off their lugubrious first per- iod form to thoroughly dom- inate the second half but Carter constantly frustrated the Ranger shooters who, for the most part, buzzed unimpeded in the Hawk zone. at was John Wilson off the Hawks, though, who ruined the initial Ranger outing. He scored three goals to lead his club to the 7-5 conquest. John Lansink added a pair off scores for the winners with singles going to Pete Flani- gan and Bob Chesney: BACK MIK Doug Phillips returned to the I.H.L. after a year's sabbatical to net two markers for the Rangers. Tom Johnson, John Dever- eaux and Mike Flanigan all had single tallies. CANADIANS 91„RUINS 2 The Canadians were not picked by many of the prog- nasticators to finish very high in the standings. While many are talking about the strength of the Pens, Flyers and Rangers, the Red -shirts promptly went about their business without any fanfare. last Sunday and bullied the Bruins by a shocking -9.2 count. The outcome seems a trifle incongrous this night. A BATH The ceremonial bath by the Canadians started early when Ron Quipp scored his first of five goals at 3:56 of the first period. The winners had things well in hand by virtue of a 5.1 first period lead. In addition to Quipp's assiduous performance. the Broomball schedule SUN.

NOT A CHANCE The Bruins, meanwhile. couldn't shake the somnolent state they put themselves into early and goalie Ross Govier never had` a chance against the Canadian shooters. Joe Dick and Brian Cooper replied for the Bears in the scoring department. It's going to be a very interesting session, V.H.L. Notes: The draft creates a lot of -interest each year and this past one was no different. It's always enjoyable listening to the many different predictions for the coming season. While sortie of the seer's guesses border on hyperbole 1 will not attempt to give you a serious outlook on the upcoming season. (Try not to laugh too hard). Based on straight compari- sons to the other clubs, many feel the Flyers will finish on top. Last Sunday they did, not have Bill O'Shea, Bret Fin- layson and had to put de- fenceman George Reeves in net. The Orangeshirts nearly won and controlled play for most of the second half when they had only three guys on the bench. Penguins should battle for first on strength of a very good defence. The rea- son they will probably finish second is that the team cannot match the Flyers in scoring power but it should he close. The Rangers are in this fight also and they surprised many last week'. The reason for a third place finish is that. based. on overall strength, they are not as well balanced as the Flyers and Pens but the line of John Devereaux, Mike Flanigan and Kevin Coyne is one of the better units in the league. The Hawks should be in IHL fourth but could rise higher with a hot Al Carter. The Canadians come in at 5th and the Bruins are looking at•a long season. The Bears have good potential and their 9 -2 - loss last week is very much of a shock. This team with Ross Govier, Dale Kennedy, ,Brian Nigh and Brian Cooper could finish higher but they can't quite match the top three, O.K., I can hear the laugh- ter already. Remember you guys, this is for reader enjoyment and not to be taken too seriously. I hope everyone does well this year. I.H.L.
