Mac to play in Germany for '97-'98
BY DAVID SCOTT
Expositor Editor
Dave McElwain is packing
his hockey bags and crossing
the ocean.
The 30 -year-old NHL vet-
eran has signed a one-year
contract with Landshut's
team in the German Premiere
League.
Pat Murray, of McKillop
Township, plays for Essen in
the First Division, a small
step below the Premiere
League, in Germany.
Dave and his new bride
Lise, who has family in
Denmark, will be living in a
condominium in Landshut,
about 40 minutes northeast of
Munich. A condo and a free
car (and of course a salary!)
are a few of the bonuses of
playing in a European league.
Coincidentally, Dave will be
about an hour -and -a -half
away from another former
Seaforth resident, Lisa
Beuttenmiller.
Arena manager Graham
Nesbitt says rules for interna-
tional players on European
teams have changed. They
used to allow five non -
German players on a team in
the German league. Now it's
been changed so they have to
have a minimum of five
German players on a team.
(And the rest can be recruited
from all over).
Dave's not the only player
heading over to Europe.
Between 40 and 60 IHL
(International Hockey
League) players have been
signed to play in Europe this
coming season.
On his team will be four
other ex-NHLers, two of
whom he's played with
before - Dean Evason, Mark
Lamb, Gino Cavallini and
Mike Bullard. Peter Klima
will also be playing in
Germany this season, but on
a different team.
Dave's agent was working
on getting him a deal to play
in Switzerland but that fell
through when the coach
bailed out and Dave didn't
think the situation was right.
GerfWF'any was his next
choice.
"Hopefully I'll like it. If it
doesn't work out I can
always come back," said
McLlwain. Presently he's on
a one-year contract but could
end up signing a multi-year
deal after a few months play-
ing there, he speculates. But

OFF TO GERMANY - Arena manager Graham Nesbitt and Dave McLlwain took time out
of their busy schedules Friday to talk about Dave playing in Germany next season and the
fifth annual Dave McLlwain Hockey School. McLlwain left Monday for Germany.
he won't know until he gets
there. Anything could hap-
pen. It's going to be a new
experience.
"I'1! probably (earn some-
thing new everyday over
there, as it goes along."
The season in the Premiere
League begins September 12
and runs 52 games. Dave
estimated the latest the
schedule would run, includ-
ing playoffs, would be mid-
April.
The 1998 Winter Olympics
are being held the first two
weeks in February. Dave's
league will shut down during
that time. They also have a
10 -day mid-season break for
holidays. He's not sure at this
time whether he'll make it
back to Seaforth during either
of these breaks.
The Huron Expositor will
try to keep readers up to date
on Dave's progress in
Germany but for the eager
hockey fan, the weekly
Hockey News at the news-
stand contains international
and European hockey statis-
tics.
Hockey School
Unfortunately for young
fans of Dave enrolled in his
hockey school this summer,
they won't get a chance to
see him. Dave had to leave
Monday to Germany for an
early training camp. Camps
for both the NHL and
European leagues have been
moved up this year because
of the break for the 1998
Olympics in Japan.
But, like Dave says, the
hockey school is in capable
hands. Edmonton Oiler prop-
erty Mike Watt, of
Egmondville, will be assum-
ing a lot of Dave's regular
duties and will be on the ice
everyday with the kids.
"Mike and the other guys
will do a great job. I have
confidence in them. They
know what's going on."
The Dave McLlwain CCM
Hockey School, now in its
fifth year of operation, has
gained a lot of attention and
respect. A book of guidelines
has been developed over the
years since the school started
that instructors can follow.
"They're good instructors
with a variety of different
hockey backgrounds and
teaching abilities," say Dave.
The first week of the school
(Aug. 17-22) is basically full,
says Nesbitt but week 2
(Aug.24-29) has some open-
ings (more for 11-13 •year-
olds).
Some things have been
humped around, which is
usual, says the arena manag-
er. The Conditioning Camp,
originally scheduled for the
first week will now be held
the second week in the after-
noons. "There's some on -ice
and off -ice up-tempo drills
and scrimmages," says
Nesbitt. It's geared to the 14-
17 year olds trying out for
Triple -A, bantam and midget.
"There is room for goalies
of all ages," he adds.
All Star Game
The traditional summer
showcase hockey school
game will still be held on
Wednesday, August 20 at
7:30 pm with hockey school
staff vs. pro and amateur tal-
ent. It may feature some of
this summer's instructors
including: Seaforth's Scott
Driscoll, .NHL Linesman;
Egmondville's Mike Watt,
signed by the Edmonton
Oilers; Scott Muscutt of the
University of New
Brunswick; Dan Wildfong of
Colgate University; local star
Boyd Devereaux, Oilers draft
pick; Ken Carroll, goalie
instructor from University of
New Brunswick; Greg Van
Bakel of the Stratford
Cullitons; Jeff MacLean of
the Kitchener Dutchmen;
and Kathy Devereaux of
town with the London
Devilettes Midget "A" and
member of the under 18
Team Ontario.
Local caddies work LPGA at Glen Abbey
Mark Phillips had one of
his best tournament rounds
ever last week with a 74 at
one of the area tournaments.
He ended up in a playoff,
only losing to a birdie on the
first playoff hole. Meanwhile
Lindsay McEwan played
extremely well in the Ontario
Junior Ladies event held at
Sunningdale. Later in the
week her strong play in the
Optimist provincial champi-
onship at Doon Valley
allowed her to qualify for the
Canadians at Ingersoll in
August.
With the LPGA event at
Glen Abbey some of our
Juniors ended up caddying in
the ProAm on Wednesday.
Mark Phillips, Chris Marion,
Keegan Teichert, Derck
Nesbitt, Reegan Price, Kyle
Henderson and Jason Anstett
all managed to tote a bag
around the famous Glen
Abbey course. It was a great
opportunity to see some great
golf and help out in the tour-
nament.
On Friday about twenty
ladies from the local club
took a bus to the event to see
some of the greatest women
golfers in the world.
The Match Play events are
proceeding pretty much on
schedule although there are a
few matches falling behind.
Please review this list and
keep the competition going.
