Centenaires' season better
than anyone had hoped
By Scott Hilgsndorff
Expositor Editor
The Seaforth Centenaires
wrapped up their season
better than coach Jason
Papple could have hoped,
taking the community along
for a wild play-off ride.
"Nobody could ask for any
more," said Papple of the
effort the team put into the
season.
While they were hoping to
finish first in the division,
the Jr. D team came up two
points short but still
surprised management and
fans when they defeated a
notoriously tough Port
Stanley team in the second
round of playoffs.
That's where things fell
apart for the Cents this
season, which was supposed
to be a rebuilding year after
a dismal season last year.
"Nobody would have put
money on us beating Port
Stanley," said Papple.
But they did, giving it
everything they had to win
the series.
"It probably cost us for the
finals," said Papple.
"Everybody put all their
emotions and energy into
that series. They didn't have
anything left."
The final playoff round
ended earlier
this month
when the Cents
took on Mt.
Brydges but
lost four
straight games.
Papple said
players were
tired, sick and
injured for that
Quoted

Coach Jason Popple
series apd didn't stand a
chance.
But he said they gave it
everything they had left and,
even though it wasn't
enough for the win, he's still
happy with the success of
the team this year.
Papple said fan -support
for the season was great with
crowds swelling in size and
enthusiasm as the team
progressed through the
playoffs.
"I think the guys really
appreciated the way the
town came out," said Papple.
Throughout the regular
season, as they adjusted their
lines and moved players
from different positions,
Papple said there were times
you could really see the
team's playoff potential but
that they weren't consistent
with it throughout the
regular season.
"We tried a lot of different
line combinations," he said.
By the last
week of the
regular
season,
Papple said
it all came
together and
everyone
had found
their roles
on the team.
While many players had
theif moments during the
season, Papple said Dublin's
Chuck Robertson played net
for every game in the
playoffs and really showed
his talent.
In Game 6 against Lucan
in the first playoff round,
Papple said Robertson
summed up his abilities with
a final save that kept Lucan
from putting the Cents out of
the rest of the playoffs.
He also said JD Nolan and
Tim Sills had career seasons
this year but that it's tough
to say what kind of team will
take shape next year as
several players become over -
aged.
"Some younger ones will
get a chance," he said,
adding he anticipates a good
season again next year.
Business committee receives
$3,00o grant for expansion
The Seaforth Business Retention and
Expansion (BR and E) committee received a
$3,000 grant recently from the Huron
Business Centre to expand into the rest of the
recently -amalgamated municipality of Huron
East.
"It makes sense for the BR and E to figure
out how to work with the new players in the
community. The intention of the grant is to
give them enough seed money to cover out-
of-pocket costs like meetings costs and
speakers," says Paul Nieol, of the Huron
Business Centre.
The grant will help the BR and E join with
Business Improvement Area groups (BIAS)
in Brussels and Vanastra, says BR and E
spokesperson Gwen Devereaux.
"We'd like to make it a BR and E for
Huron East. We're hoping to all join
together," she says.
Nicol says Huron East's grant is one of
nine grants given to communities throughout
Huron County, all of which are
approximately the same amount of money.
The grant's purpose is to get businesses
involved in economic development in their
communities.
