Representing Central Ontario Pony Club was Bobbi Lehman from Whitby and Melisa Evans of Uxbridge. Both these team members are members of the Durham Pony Club. In order to compete at national quiz, a competitor must place in thie top four at regional quiz contests. Earlier this year, Leh- man placed first in the regional quc and Evans paced fourth, thus earning their spots for the national quiz. Lehman and Evans were mem- bers of the A/B teain which placed second overall at Halifax. Lehman also tied for second in the individual awards. This was a great achievment as there were nine regions represented from across Canada with approxi- -mately 70 competitors. On Nov. 11 and 12, members of the Whitb Roller Skating Club attende an invitational competition in Kingsville, Ohio. Shayne Bayford won two gold in the open figures and sopho- more freestyle three silver in the junior/senior figures, sophomore figures and the open freestyle, and a bronze in the openloops Jeff Kidd earned two gold one in junio.r/senior figures, and the other in open freestyle.

They won their division to advance to the semi-finals, scor- ing 13 goals and letting in only four. Al other teams were AAA, with Whitby being the only AA team in the tournament. Coach Jack Middleton was more than pleaséd with the team effort even though Whitby lost their semi-final game to Glouces- ter who went on to defeat Osh- awa and win the tournament. Whitby's first gae was against the favored Nepean AAA team. Whitby held them in check with an easy 5-1win. The Whitby offence was led by Mark Haynes, Bryan Crouch, Darryl Lewis and Brian Crilly, with a strong defensive game by Chris Kerr. Fine goaltending by Josh Evans and an overaîl team effort gave Whitby their first win of the tournament. In game two, Whitby once again cruised to an easy 5-1 win over Sudbury. Haynes, Crouch, Lewis, Paul Gray and Steven Death were the sparks in the Whitby offence. Donny Campbell helped out Brian Harrison in net who robbed Sudbury with some great goaltending. Again a fine team effort produced a victory. The third and final game of the division, against Barrie, Whitby were faced with their toughest game of the series. Whitby come out on top, 3-2. Barrie started the game with strong offence and hard fore- checkng, holding Whitby in ine while taking an early lead. Whitby's power came from Gray, Kerr, aynes, Lewis and Hotch- kiss, who used good passing and hockey knowledge to generate the spark needed to get the team on the right track. Harrison once again was terri- fic in net in helping Whitby to the semi-finals. After sweeping their division with the second best team record in the tournament, a confident Whitby team entered the semi- final game against Gloucester, losing 7-3.

S. location! Gloucester, who went on to win the tournament, controlled the first period and soon had a two-goal lead.'A super effort by Campbell and Ricca at defence held Gloucester in check. This allowed Whitby to regroup and put themselves on the board. A. ;rong effort by Crouch Gray, and Hotchkiss gave Whitby a spurt of survival, but the strong, hard-checking, fast-skating Gloucester team was just a little too much to handle. Even though the Whitby AA team was eliminated in the semis, team feit coaches they proved theycould hold their own and better against AAA teams. More on p. 38 WHITBY SKATING CLUB.
