But at lesat thay've now got an experienced foreman on board to help with construc- tion. Mavericka GM Dave Decaire recently announced that the head coaching post - vacated by a retiring Jim Leworthy - would be flled by highly accomplîshed John Chandler. The Orangeville native, who's been a longtime member of bis hometown's traditionally powerful program, becomes only the third skipper in the franchise'î six year history. "I'm tickled pink to have someone in place that has SO much experience and succeas." remarked Decaire. "This is a logical progression to our affil- iation with Orangeville." Ianpreasive resume Chandler, who got the nod over a couple of other candi- dates on the short list, comes packing some mighty impres- sive credentials. Over 15 years he's coached at every tevel from bantam to senior and was a back-to-back Ontarjo Jr. B Coach of the Year in 1989 and 1990. With 10 provincial champi- onships and a handful of national titles. ha appears to ha a very suitable successor to Leworthy. That's something the local club will definitely need - seeing as tue bulk of Isat year's teani, that took national silver, have either gone overage or will probably ha graduating to the Jr. A rsnks. While Brantford disbanding could offer a seasoned addition or two, Uic local club will in ail likelihood sport a much younger liuteup tItis season. Coach likes a challenge However, that doesn't seem to be of great concern to ChantIer. "I'm flot bothered by Uic ides of an inexperiencet team," he ssid. "The teaching aspect of coaching is my strength. I know Uic game inside and out." According to Decaire, Chandler is also a strong moti- vator anti should bring in tonte succesaful systeros from the perennial powerhouse Northmen. "They go with six-man units up there radier than thrce unes and three spares," explained Milton's general manager. 'It gets ail tIse players into Uic game more quickly ted cre- ates more depth. Hopefully that'a one of the things he'll implement hare." The Mavericks, whose regu- lar tesson sehedule has been upped to two dozen games tItis yesr, open training camp in early April. They'll mn camp sîongside Uic Nortltmen. u *E.S.P. DEADLINE The R.R.S.P.
