Hockey spotlight
By Peter Bauer
Jay MacLaurin is in his last -year as an Ironman. He
lives in Wingham but is presently taking courses at the
. University of Western Ontario in London. Although he
has very little time between working, his schooling and •
hockey,, he still enjoys. getting- out and having a good
'time. Looking into the future, he has plans along the
lines of business administration.
Commenting on his hockey career here in Winghafn,
he believes that it has been good for him. As for the
team, he said it is "a together .and hard working team
with a nucleus for the future and bright prospects,
hopefully for this year".
Jay has the job of team captain andhis`job is not
always that easy. As captain he must be a leader and
that responsibility is sometimes a greater burden than
an honor. When a team plays well the job may appear
easy, but even then there is great pressure to continue
•to do well: When the team is losing, his work is that
mueh harder, with the onus, being on his shoulders as
well as the coach's: This year's team consists of a
, number of rookies as well' as numerous players who
are in their final year, and merging the *into into one
urdt can be more than difficult.
Ari . the ice Jay does his job efficiently. In 23gaaiies he
has scored 13 goals and added 14 assists to his scoring
total, to stand fifth in team scoring with"r27points and a
plus five for goals for and against on an even man
basis. '"
T would like to commend Jay on his performance
during this year's campaign and for the output he has
contributed to the Ifonmen organization over the 'past
four years. He has indeed been worthy of praise, which
sometimes is very elusive to those who are humble.

a�lle won't mention names, but
there are certain snowmobile
dealers in this area who might
offer you a sled at an incredibly
low price. At Ski -Doo, we'd like to
say one thing: "Take a good look!'
Before you give in to temptatio
and buy a low priced snowmobile,
ask yourself these four q estions:
1; Is there somebody to back up
the guarantee? Better still,
is there a guarantee?
2. Can you be sure of adequate
service this year and in
'future years? -
3. What about spare parts?
Think ahead. Will you always
be able to get them?
4. What will your resale value
be , .. tomorrow? Next year?
In two years?
If you're buying a snowmobile,
don't snap at the first good price
you see. Ask yourself if it's good
value. You'll never regret buying
good value: you'll find it at your
Ski -Doo dealer's.
The Ski -Doo Yellow Tag Sale is still on!
And that means you still have time to get
an amazing deal on a brand new Ski -Doo
snowmobile plus many other specials!
