But, the similarities didn't end there. As Kevin Williamson and Kevin Melady watched their sons Brett and Luke play, wearing the same numbers they wore and playing the same positions they played as kids, they were also struck by the fact that the win came during their sons' second year on the team - just as it had for them in 1978. Also, Ray Anstett Jr., who was a first-year goalie for the winning atoms of 1978, watched his son Jared in goal for the first year with. the winning atoms of 2007. "It was sort of deja vu and we talked about how neat and cool that is," says Kevin Williamson. One more parallel between today and 29 years ago is the fact that Seaforth played Durham in the final series and when the team travelled to Durham, it was playing in the very same arena. "There were a lot of memories coming back going to the same arena," says Williamson. The three dads have posed in a photo with their sons and the trophy, which is also the same trophy they won in 1978. Williamson says it's the last time Seaforth will vie for the trophy since the WOAA is changing classifications from CC. He adds that he remembers the rivalry between Seaforth and Durham, which has lasted for generations, as being more intense in the past. "Both on the ice and in the stands, it was more volatile and physical," he says, adding he remembers at least once being escorted out of Durham by the police since the atmosphere submitted photo Three Seaforth-area dads. including from left in the back, Kevin Williamson, Ray Anstett Jr. and Kevin Melady pose with their sons Brett Williamson, Jared Anstett and Luke Melady with the same trophy both gen- erations won as atom players. was that intense. "There was always some kind of controversy playing Durham and that made the victory a little sweeter. It made you want it more," remembers Kevin Melady. Melady says he didn't make the connection between then and now until Williamson reminded him. "I don't remember the series but I remem- ber going to Durham every year. They were our perennial rivals and they still are," he says. Both then and now, Seaforth won the series in three straight games. Anstett says he remembers the competition being a bit fiercer when he was the player. "I hope our boys can keep on and have the same success we did - and the same fun. We never won all -Ontario but we won quite a few Western Ontario championships," he says. Also on the 1978 atoms' team were NHLer Dave McLlwain and NHL linesman Scott Driscoll. "It was a good team - some of us just pro- gressed a little further than the others," says Williamson.
