THIS WEEK IN Centenaires The Seafforth Centenaires Junior D hockey club will be looking at putting two of the team's worst years behind it, and turning the club back into a contender. Coach Graham Nesbitt, who will be at the helm again this year, says he is expec- ting most of the players from last year's team to return this year. Only three players, defenceman Travis Lyndon and forwards Bruce Pearn and Neil Corbett, are over age and ineligible to play this year. A further two players, Ray Murray and Mike Murray, are still at tryouts with the Stratford Cullitons and may be moving up to Junior B, Everyone on last year's team received an invitation to try out with the new Brussels Junior C team, but Mr. Nesbitt doesn't expect to lose players to Brussels. "There's a lot of travel in the "C" league, there's not that big a difference in calibre, and for kids who want to be seen by Junior B scouts the opportunity is as good here as it is there." At try -outs Mr. Nesbitt expects to see five of last year's six defencemen, and potentially both goaltenders "plus a couple extra younger ones to push last year's veterans." To add offense the coach has been talk- ing to Mike Betties who will play if his work schedule allows, and Brad Carter who was second in team scoring last year, one point behind Rem Murray. Coach Nesbitt will be looking for midget players, and players from last year's strong Bantam team to flesh out the lineup. He mentions Brent Van Den Akker who has had strong junior camps this year and is a possibility for the Cents, "I expect to see Teddy Sills out and hope to see Jason Muir, Shane Cooper, Jason Beutten- miller, and other players from the bantam tean3 last year." "We'll return a lot of guys and they'll be another year older and another year wiser. That'll be a big help because we were a really young team last year," says Coach Nesbitt. On the other hand, the opposition could have the young teams this season. "Clubs that finished first and second last year, like Lucan and Lambeth, lose a lot of players, and Wellesley loses its two best defencemen." Being short players during exam .week at the high school will not be a problem for the Centenaires this year. "Our schedule is geared around the high school exam schedule, which should help us. We're off from January 10 to February 2, so kids can concentrate on exams and not worry about hockey," Mr. Nesbitt is confident the break of over two -weeks won't hurt the team. "They need a rest and then we'll come back and finish the season." Coach Nesbitt will be moving away from the part-time hockey players this year. "We want to have a commitment this year for practice and everything, and we'll choose the team on that basis," he says. Once again the team will be practising Wednesday nights. "Definitely those who Eteaf 7aateev .. , Etat, etee& 9UP-odd SEAFORTH AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY going with "home brew" come to practice are going to play. When we practise well we play well." After last season's record of two wins, 30 losses and four ties, and a similar record the previous year, one wonders what Coach Nesbitt plans to do differently this year. "We want to get our defence involved in the offense and work on consistency," he says, adding part of his philosophy is to develop local talent rather than bringing other players in and trying to "buy a win- ner." "It's a matter of just being patient, there's no point in packing it in just because you don't win a couple of years." The Centenaires are in the same division this year with the exception that Brussels has dropped out. Their competition will come from Tavistock, Wellesley, Exeter, Lucan, and Mitchell. The team plays a 35 game schedule with 18 home games and 17 on the road. Their home opener will be against Tavistock Sunday, October 8. The team's first practice will be Wednes- day, September 13 at' 9 p.m. in Mitchell, followed by September 20 in Clinton at 9:15 p.m. and September 23 at 7 p,m. Ice will be in in Seaforth by September 29. Tryouts are open. "The players will get out of it what they put into it," says the Centenaire coach. "The guys know they've been taldng their lumps lately, and they're ready to give some lumps." Centenaires Manager Glen McClure says the team is not in any immediate financial trouble, and there was an executive meeting Tuesday night which 12 people were. invited to attend. Eight or nine members are needed for an executive. "We didn't have much (money) left over from last year because we had two bad years, but we're not doing too badly," said Mr. McClure, "The team has really got to kind of pick itself up. I would like to think we will have an average season, but it's hard to say what kind of team we'll have until we've got the guys on the ice." Mr. McClure added that the executive was expecting a couple of years of having a team that's "not too strong," but is sticking with "home brew" rather than im- porting a lot of players, and is hoping to pick things up this year.
