The Canadian Champion, Tuesday, March 12, 2002-21 .Milton's NCAA veterans clear ini'ti*a piayoft hurdie Darren (Mini) Haydar's big-game scoring prowess continues. With his nationally top-ranked New Hampshire Wildcats trailing Memrmack 3-0 Saturday during gaine two of the hest-of-three Hockey East quarterfi- nals, the senior captain donned bis rally cap to squash any hopes for a series tumnaround.

Looking for bis third trip to, the Frozen Four, Milton's NCAA star will now lead UNH againat UMass-Lowell in the Hockey East semifinals- which hegin tonight in New Hampshire. UMass-Lowell got by first-round opponeni Northeastem - taking the hest-of-three ruhher match 3-I Saturday, thanks in part toi former Merchant Ed McGrane, who assisted on the gaine winner. Meanwhile, Miltonian Candice Ceelen alto hopes to book passage to the Frozen Four with the Niagara Purpie Eagles. Initial efforts toward that end were extremely favourable - as the national powerhouse squad anni- hilated Quinmipiac 8-1 Friday night in a single-elimni- nation showdown.

Her Purple Eagles will now head to the University of Connecticut this weekend for the division semifinals and finals.
