The Lucknow Sentinel, 1994-11-17, Page 13Tough defence' dominates Bantam A game • On Nov. 7, the Lucknow Bantam A team took on the Clifford team. Tough defence dominated the game. Avoiding penalties, Lucknow was able to get the power play a number of times. Finally in the third period, Dennis Lubbers wrapped the puck around the net and tucked it behind the Clifford goalie. With only five seconds left on the clock, Jonathan MacKinnon was able to put the game out of reach for Clifford as he shot the puck into the empty net. Jordan Andrew played a solid game in net for Lucknow's 2 • 0 win. Thanks to Rob McGee, Daryl Aitchison and Shane Petteplace for helping the team out. Lucknow Sentinel, Wednesday, November 16, 1994 - Page 13 Those 30+ players stand to lose more In these idle weeks of autumn without NHL hockey there arc a millidn stories of those being hurt. Everyone from the Zamboni driver to fans' who sufferedthrough Ernest Scared Stupid on Saturday night. havea tale of woe. What of the players, though? Does anyone care? We tend to lump them together as a group of fat cat millionaires just losing a little pocket change while .they lounge around a pool in Hawaii waiting fol.- the incon- venience to end, but that's hardly the case. There is one group, in fact, that stands to lose much more than money as the lockout lingers on. There are more than 130 players in the NHL, or almost 20 pct cent, who arc 30 years of age or older. Many of them are on .one-year contracts: some are lucky enough to have two-year deals: while few, like Wayne Grctzky, arc in the star category. A good portion of ,the older players need every edge to keep up in a game that has .no Pee Wee A's win and lose On Nov. 8 Kincardine downed the Lucknow Pec Wee A team by 4 = 2. Adam Cameron in net made many key saves. After a scoreless first period, Kincardine rallied in the second and took a three goal lead. Lucknow kept trying and Conor, McDonagh and Nick Mahn set up Troy McKenzie in front of the net for a much needed goal. Robby `McGee, on a solo effort, also scored in this period.

Some will have trouble catching up if the lockout is three months long. Many could be finished if the season is wiped out.

"The biggest single factor is that somewhere along the line mind games start going on. Players think they can sluff off for a while because there's not going to he a season, ice time is difficult to Lind, 'and there's no deadline to shoot for like there is at the opening of training camp."
