The Huron Expositor, 1994-09-21, Page 28SPORTS DAVID SCOTT PHOTO AGAINST THE BOARDS - A member of the Seaforth Centenaires keeps a Thamesford Trojan against the boards in a fight for the puck at Friday night's pre -season exhibition game at the Seaforth Community Centre. Seaforth Junior team prepared for new season Close, but no cigar! Last season ended for the Seaforth Centenaires with an incredibly gut -wrenching 2-1 Toss in the fourth overtime of a division final, the first time they made it to the Ontario Hockey Association's Junior 'D' development League's "final four" in nearly a decade. The Seaforth juniors finished last season at .500, in other words with as many wins as losses, for only the fourth time in their 20 -year history, then ran for the roses with a team record eight -straight playoff wins. (';This season the Cents hope to lirove they remain a legitimate contender and show that finish was no fluke, but end it all next April with a win. It all starts Friday night at 8:30 when the Centenaires host the Lucan Irish 6 in their Western Division home opener. Saturday night Seaforth travels to Mt. Brydges for a 7:15 game. "I'm optimistic. We will have an entertaining team but a young one," says head coach Maurice Guy. "The guys that we have want to play hockey and are going to show up every night." Gone are veteran all-stars Karsten Carroll and Paul McLlwain, both now overage, and "the Franchise", four-year veteran goaltender Dana Duskocy, now, on a partial baseball scholarship in Texas. Also not returning arc winger Jamie Ramer, at school in Saskatchewan, and Trevor Smith and Don Rivers, now also far away at school and unable to make games and practices. Sophomores Adam Rogers, Andrew Scott, Shawn O'Leary and Bcn Sen were all let go. Joe Murray and Jamie Redmond did not report. Ten veterans return: all-round sparkplug Jason Hayter; defensive stalwarts Scott Wright, Kalen Carroll and Jason Bcuttenmilter (again on a limited basis); and forwards Jason Dunscith, Steve Geiger, Josh Little, Chad Papple, Chad Ramer and Ted Sills. Sills is the team's only overager and his status later in the season is a ques- tion mark, depending on where he ends up working. He may be head- ing out to the Canadian west also. Ramer is recovering from breaking the same ankle twice this summer and probably won't see any action until the middle of November. Both Dunseith and Little parted ways with the Centenaires last season. Both have returned to play this pre- season and may become valuable assets. Dunscith was Scaforth's leading scorer two seasons ago. Fifteen newcomers will don the green this season, although it's stretching a description to call some of them rookies. Both Tadd Papple and Jason Cook are 20 -year-old forwards from Goderich who did not play last season. Defenceman Greg Matthison, 18, from Stratford played for the junior C Woodstock Navy Vets. Rookies Jason Murray and Steve Mclnally are both excit- ing young talents who know where the net is and join the Cents from • last season's Seaforth OMHA "CC" champion midgets. Between them they tallied about 200 points last year, approximately -half-of (anti- goals. Rookie defenceman Jeff Flanagan was also on that squad and relishes the hitting, which will make his adjustment to junior all that much easier. Two other new- comers behind the blueline are Egmondville's Brent Hulley, 16, and Stratford's Mike Lauwaert, 15, who toiled for Seaforth bantams and Waterloo AAA bantams respectively last season. Brandon Corriveau, 17, is a feisty centreman with a wicked shot who played for the Goderich midgets last year, as did hefty winger/defenceman Jeff Volland, 18. Forwards Terry and Tim Barton, both 18 and from Stratford, become the second set of twins on this year's edition of the Centenairs (the Papple brothers are the other). Earl Barton, Tim and Terry's dad, was a member of Seaforth famous Junior B Baldwins in the early 1950s. The Centenaires finished the pre- season with a respectable record of two wins, two ties and two losses. But they gave up a total of 40 goals in those six exhibitions, and unac- ceptable 6.67 goals per game, which makes it- difficult 'to- forget Duskocy who saved the Cent's bacon many times over the years and only gave up an average of less than half that last season. Centenaires manger Gregor Campbell thinks he has an answer by signing goaltender Dave Nahrgang, 19, from Clinton who did not play for Seaforth in the pre- season because he was trying out with the Stratford Cullitons and then Western Mustangs. Last year he played for Clinton's juveniles and the high school Redmen. "Like Duskocy but maybe with a little less of an edge, Dave is a character guy and an on -ice leader who has consistently performed well in pressure situations despite his slightly unorthodox 'riverboat gambler's' style' says Campbell. "He can give you ulcers but the bottom line is he keeps the puck out of the net." The Centenaires have two other goaltenders on cards; Tim Swan, 17, from Stratford but who played for the St. Marys midgets last sea- son, who forced the Seaforth coaches to sit up and take notice when he put on a show and only gave up one goal in half an exhibi- tion game against the Cullitons a couple of weeks ago, and import Judd Leonhardt from Manhicm near Kitchener, who turned 15 about a month ago and was a top-rated prospect at the Billington goalie school this summer. His dad Brian grew up in Seaforth. The Seaforth manager hears Mt. Brydges has a lot of veterans back, but figures Port Stanley is the team to beat in the Western Division this season, with five 30 -goal scorers in their lineup, another newcomer from Junior A. solid goaltending and an "all -for -one and one -for -all style of team play that reminds you of the old Philly Flyers. He also feels the Exeter Hawks have to be watched closely "because they always.had the talent but now they have the on -ice management to go with it." "And you can't forget the Mitchell Hawks either," he adds, Aa tv_tt9-time and dcfrnding WA. tit a they still hold the roses and the key to those championship cigars until somebody takes them away." Bayfield receives grant Huron MPP Paul Klopp has announced that the Village of Bayfield will receive a grant of $81,000. The grant from the Ontario Clean Water Agency - was announced today. The total cost of the project is $115,000. It is for an environmental study for a communal sanitary sewage works. The Village of Bayfield does not have a communal sewage collection and treatment facilities, At present about half of the individual septic systems are over 20 years old.
