The Huron Expositor, 1997-08-06, Page 6AMM HURON IXPO$$T011. Austsat iMT 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 VkkA 4 r r PHOTO BY DAVID SCOTT 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.
