Seaforth native makes debut as OHL linesman

The farms k ;Yitfnd urn'

Ontario Hockey League (Junacx A),
and has been on the ice for two

"Ibis is my first crack a the
OHL and hopefully next yet I'll be
put on the schedule," compiled a
modest Driscoll, who is prteently
considered port base. "U 1 keep
consistent and beep my head an

The West edition of Hat Trick,

Cooke Auiateur Hockey
Association, rate. Dnacoll, 22, as
the most promising official m the
O uario Hockey Fedoraticxi.
Driscoll, a little embarrassed by
the publicity, said he had heard of

coaanreeled.
"Until I get a few games under

Driscoll noted that in the OHA
about one-quarter of the games he
officiates as supervised, aid he is

Centenaires coming home after five games
The Seaforth Ceatenaires are glad
to be coming home. They finished
a stung of five straight road games
with a pair of 6 - 4 lases, one of
them in overtime, on the weekend
so now cling to seventh spot by
their fingernails in the Ontario
Hockey Association's Western
Junior D Hockey League.
The local juniors now host league
leaduig Lucan to an 8:35 game
Friday night, and Belmont Sunday
afternoon at 1:30 at the Seaforth
and District Community Centres.
The two Seaforth loses, coupled
with Mr. Brydges Bulldogs' pair of
wins over the Alvinston Flyers on
the weekend, means the Centenaires
now lead those eighth place
Bulldogs by just one point. The
Flyers are in the basement five
points back of the Centenaires, but
with three games in hand, On the
bright side - the point Seaforth
earned from Saturday's overtime
loss gave the Centenaires 16 points
after 21 games, equalling last
season's point total at the end of a
35 game regular schedule. And last
season was the most successful of
the past four for the local juniors.
Still, a loss is a loss, no matter
how you slice it. The short-staffed
Centenaires were out of it before
fans were sealed in their seats

period. Seaforth trailed 5 - 1 after
the opening 20 minutes and 6 - 3
after two periods, and although
Lambeth ran into penalty trouble
and played two men short for a
span late in the third the Cen-
tenaires couldn't came closer then

and Ted Sills did the Seaforth
sniping. Paul McLwain picked up a
pair of assists, with single set ups
coming from the sticks of Dave
Wiliam:, Blair Beuermann, Jeff
Gemmell and Kory Dietz.
"Diekinov" was flying Saturday
night at Port Stanley with a four
point outing from two goals and
two assists, including the goal with
about seven minutes left in the third
that knotted the score at 4 - 4 and
sent it into OT. Mark Redden
capped four point night for himself
by scoring both overtime goals for
the Laker:, the last into an empty
net. Brown also got a goal for the
Centenaires. Williams had a pair of
assists, with Beuermann and Danny
Wildfong chipping in one assist
each. It was 1 - 1 after the first
period and 4 - 2 for the Port after
two. Referee Larry Cooke tagged
Seaforth with three minor penalties
to the Lakers' six. In Sunday
night's game referee Dave Marsh
handed out 25 minor penalties, 10
to the Centenaires.

Brad and Steve Schroeder, Mike
Watt, Kevin McLI wain and Brad
Beuueuniller all missed Sunday's
game for one reason or
another...fonner Centenaire Dave
McElwain has strained knee
ligaments that may keep him out of

former Centenaire now with Strat-
ford's Junior B Cullitons, has com-
mitted himself to Michigan State
University next season...according
to the most up to date official
league stats (November 19) Kory
Dietz was the league's sixth leading
scorer and Duskocy had the
league's third best goals against
average. Doug Clarke and Jean Paul
Cousineau of the Exeter Hawks are
the league's two top point get-
ters...Lambeth, Lucan and Thames -
ford raised their hands and official-
ly expressed interest in jumping up
to Junior C at a league meeting in
Lucan last Wednesday night.
Rumour has it other area teams, for
instance Mitchell and Exeter, are
also strongly considering the move.
OHA president Brent Ladds said
there would be pros and cons for
such a move. He said membership
fees for clubs would remain the
same, • operational costs might
increase and more imports would be
involved. 1.adds said there are eight
Junior C leagues now and more
teams might further shorten
schedules because playoffs -must
now sten at the beginning of
February to accommodate all the
teams.
The OHA is concerned so
many players might be finished
playing hockey so soon in every
season if more Junior C teams came
aboard. The league decided its next
step will be to hold a workshop on
the Junior C notion...The Cen-
tenaires' general manager Gregor
Campbell was shocked and boun-
cing off the walls after that meeting
when he was told the team owed
5300 in fines and had three players
and its coach subject to 11 games
worth of suspensions for alleged
infractions. He calmed down and
was equally relieved later in the
week when it was discovered it was
all an error by the league statis-
tician...the Western Junior D
League all-star game is at Langton
on January 12...Alvinston will host
the league banquet at the end of the
season...the Shawn Jacklin dispute
between the Centenaires and Brus-
sels minor hockey has now been
filed with the Ontario Hockey
Federation, the highest and final
appeal tribunal.
Seaforth Centenaires in financial trouble
The Seaforth Centenaires are in
financial trouble and appealing to
th community for help. The On -
Hockey Association Western
t�nior D League club has launched
a ii ajor fund raising drive, details
of which will be mailed to local
businesses and interested in-
dividuals this week.
WHO? The Centenaires have
been around for 16 years and were
founded in Seaforth's centennial
year, hence their name. The team
provides an opportunity for young
men age 14 to 20 to further their
development in the sport. At the
beginning of this season there were
two former Centenaires playing in
the National Hockey League. At
this time and throughout the team's
history other former Centenaires
have and continue to play with
distinction for Junior A, B and C
level teams throughout the province.
The Centenaires won the OHA
championship in 1985-86.
HOW BAD IS IT? Real bad. We
buy sticks a dozen at a time to stay
out of the red. We are desperately
in need of new equipment, some of
ours is literally falling to pieces.
We can only get 50 minutes of
practice time per week, hardly
enough to work up a sweat let
alone develop skills.
HOW COME? Hockey teams at
this level make their money in the
playoffs and the Centenaires have
missed the playoffs for the last
three years( and lost the only three
playoff games they were in four
years ago. Players don't get paid out of town additions.
