The Champion Darren "Mini" Haydar may be leaning toward a business major, but when the puck drops he's ail about lustory. Making il, that is - the way only he can. Last year the electrifying sharpahooter set an ali-time sngle season scoring record for the Milton Merchants. Now he needs just two goals to become the top pro- ducing freshman ever at the University of New Hampshire. He inched dloser to the mark of 23, whicb has stood for more than a decade, witb a second-period goal in last Friday's 5-4 win over Northeastemn. Prior to that he tallied twice against the University of Massachusetts Lowell - leading the Wildcats to a 4-1 Darren Haydar victoly - for bis eigbtb multi-goal game of the ses- Computer Technologyv Specialist Youth Entrepreneurship F'rogram Are you ready to take charge of your career? 24 weeks of trainin : Windows NT Operating System -Windows 98 - Microsoft Office - A+ Certification: computer repair technician - Developing your entrepreneurial skills a Business startup & advisory services Cal Now!

We wercn't expectcd to," said tbe 5'8", 160 lbs. right winger, cboosing to downplay bis imminent induction into tbe UNH record books as well as bis recent addition to tbe NI-L draft list. 'This was supposed to be a rebuilding year, but our overaîl effort and team cbemistry bas been great and wejust keep winning." This is due in no small part to Haydar's offensive consistency, wbicb amazingly enougb seems to bave surpassed tbat of bis 1997-98 campaign. He bas buried the biscuit in more tban tbree quarters of the Wildcats' games, wbile bis 22 goals leads ail of NCAA Division 1. style suits hinm Haydar said be's greatly benetited from tbe style of play in university hockey, wbicb features an enbanced skill level and a lot less rougbbousing, as weil as a scbedule tbat includes fewer games and more prac- tices. "We do so mucb preparation that by the weekend you're really up for the games," be explaîned. "That shows tbrougb in the commitment factor. Even if we're abead by a few goals in the third period tbere's neyer any running around in our own end." Trying to navigate past blueline teammates in prac- tice bas quickly become one of the most enjoyable parts of bis week. Said Haydar, "I'm baven't a lot of fun cballenging myseif against tbem, tbey're juat 50 good. I can take tbem wide once in a wbile, but it's awfully tougb." NVhiIle 'giiint-w'h,îi st pri sed ai hiov sn)oth hi strns tion to the NCAA lias been. Haydar said a hcai ty acceptance by the veterans - wbo immediately took to bis tireless work etbic - definitely got hlm off on the rigbt foot. An early-season promotion to the first line with the nation's points leader, Jason Krog, certainly didn't burt either. "Lately I've been getting better goals, skating with the puck more, although a lot of my scoring comes from finisbing bis (Krog's) pîsys," said Haydar. Ail tbis offence has not only impressed those in Hockey East, wbo've selected him as Rookie of the Week four times, but a number of NI-L teams as well. Within tbe past couple of montbs scouts from tbe San Jose Sbarks and New York Rangers bave expressed interest in Milton's most prolific scorer. The attention bas hlm considering a future in pro bockey, altbougb be's not preoccupied witb tbe notion just yet. "My dad probably gave me tbe best advice, tbat scouts could be in tbe stands at any given time s0 1 should just play my game and not do anytbîng stupid," Haydar remarked. "I bave actually been tbînking about it (a career in NHL), but I'm trying not to get too concemed about it. I don't want to burt my team, getting a swelled bead and ail." Haydar will bave a chance to break bis scbool's fresbman record tbis Sunday wben bis Wildcats face Maine, who are ranked second in tbe country. UNH is seeded fourtb overaîl and sports a record of 19-4-I. Tbey went to tbe national cbampionsbips last spring and made it to the lemifinais. Drury is bouncing back a trom ASHES on page 21 season record to 23-5. At the same time in Montreal, Chris Holmes bad a career day as well. The grade 1l competitor prevailed in four consecutive matches - witb two pins - t capture bis first ever open division gold medal at the Riverdale Invitational. He not oniy tumed back ail challengers but was also named outstanding wrestler for the tournament, matcbing Merritt's feat of a year ago. MIT . C OS A........
