By MURRAY TOWNSEND Special to The Champion It Isad bren a whilr since the Milton juveniles won a home game. Over 10 yrars, in fact. AIl that changrd Saturday evening when the tram outdistancrd Pickering 8-6 at Memortal Arma. It was a night to remember tIse past. A banner was placrd on tIse arma wall recaîl- ing Milton~s last juvenile trarfi, who were alI-Ontarjo AAA finaliats in 1988-89. TIse coach of that tram, Barcy Elliot, was on Isand to dmp tIse firot puck, and assiot- ing the current coach, John Amold, was Jor Auger, wbo coached tIse juvenilea from 1968 to 1980. Amold waa pleased to be able to connrct tIse paat with tIse present, and ltappy that juvenile hockey is back in Milton. 'It was a apecial nightjust to get it going ogain.~~ On tIse ice, Ricky Nadalin had tIse [trot shot and first scorang chance, Josh Amold mode tIse [arat save in net, Rod Heinz - one of two playera from Georgetosen - made the first great defensive play break- ing up a 3-on-I. Cory Leîgh had the [arat good hit, and tIse second, Matt Ventura had the firot penalty when he tried to do an unauthorized makeover on a Pickering ployer, Jordan Jeans scored the [trot goal with a alapahot from the point after a dmp pasa from Leigh, who got the [trot assist and captain Steve Scafer had the [trot ibrer arguments with a referee, as well as the firat hat-track. It was hardly a clinic in defensive hock- ey, as the score ricocheted ail night long. Milton was missing three players - including two top defensemen - and had a tendency to give up odd-man rushes whîch accounted for most of Pickering's goals. But they more than made up for il in tIse offensive zone, where the players had plenty of opportunaty to display the ekilîs they leaened gmwing ccp in tIse Milton and Halton minor hockey systemo. Szafer had three goals, seith single morkers going to AA Minor peewees drop two of three Miltons AA minor prrwres have Isad a bit of a rough ride lately - winning just one of thrre games.

The juveniles, whose home games are Saturday nights at 8:30, play an entertaîn- ing wide-open brand of hockey. It~s bren a while, maybe 10 years, since a Milton minor hockey tram Isas been able to put together a group of players with such a IsigIs level of skating, passîng, shooting and scoring ability. Most importantly, it provides a place for local players to continue playing after they are 18-yeara-old. "There are too many good hockey play- ors here to give up tIse game so rarly,~ noted Amold. Judging by their [trot home game, theres linle doubt about that. F ern brace Yourh Goodîfe 876-3488 * 855 Steeles Ave. E.
