Engineering the blowout with four-point nights were Kirkland and Jon Taylor. Evan Jeans finished with three points while Trevor Ford tallied twice.

Said Haydar, "I'm flot sure we deserve that high a ranking this early in the year, we' re still a young teamn who hasn' t proven much yet. "However, there's a lot of depth and ability here. Our goal is to reach the final four." Recognizing bis pivotaI role with last season' s AII-Ontario champs, the Golden Hawks' coaching staff have looked to Haydar to provide leadership and experience on a team that includes 13 freshmen. "I'm flot treated like a rookie," he explained. "I've played in cvery game and have been on the ice for a lot of key situations titis season." Those 'key situations' have been much more frequent than the irst-line right winger was used to with the Merchants. He said blowouts are practically unheard of in university hockey and with only 26 regular season games - compared to 51 in the Tier 2 Jr. A ranks - each conteat is essentially twice as important. "The players are bigger and stronger as well. There's hardly any fighting but it's still much more physical," said Haydar, a third-year student who follows in the footsteps of Jamie Janjevich and Mike McPhail as the latest Miltonian to don a Golden Hawks jersey after graduating from the Merchants. Haydar has been one of the more defensively responsible Laurier players this season, while offensively he's collected five points in eight games. His most notable contribution vo far came in a 5-5 draw with Waterloo, during which he notched the potential game-winner in the third. Meanwhile, fellow ex-Merchant Steve French has been toiling with the Golden Hawks this season as well but has cracked the line-up for only two games. They earn the tie t ram RUT on page 21 tumed in a near perfect special-teams performance - going 3-for- 3 on the powerplay and 9-for-1O in penalty killing. This, plus a four-goal explosion by Geoff Schomogyi, proved to be the difference in a 7-3 triumph over the Streetsville Derbys. Schomogyi's showcase featured a natural hat-tnick early on. He scored on an upatairs wrister, cross-ice redirect and two back- hands to jump to 18 goals on the season. Also denting the twine were Carter Trevisani, Mike Wheelihan and Dave Csumrik, who added two assiats. Robichaud consributcd a pair of helpers as well. The Derbys fired three dozen shots but were largely ineffectîve against Jeremy Wenzel's crafty cage work.
