A18 - The Canadian Champion, Tuesday, June 13, 2006 I ;, I'Hawks will be more than just a development team: Anderson By Steve LeBlanc CANADIAN CHAMPION STAFF Worried that the IceHawks' competitiveness may fall by the way with their affiliation with the OH's Mississauga IceDogs? Well don't go hitting the panic button just yet. That's the message Jay Anderson delivered this past week- end, following the local Tier 2 Jr. A clubs annual prospects evaluation camp at Etobicokes Westwood Arena. The recently-hired head coach said that while he'll be grooming players for the par- ent club and that Milton won't be stacked with over- age OHLers this coming sea- son, it'll be more than just a development team. "Our two 1990s will no doubt be Mississauga draft picks, but not everyone will be from the IceDogs," explained Anderson. "We've been aggressively recruiting and are in the process of acquiring some impact Jr. B players. We're going to surprise some people." Among the local prospects he was particularly impressed with at last week's camp were Halton Hurricane minor midgets Scott Stover and Jeremy Price - who was taken in the 11 th round by the Oshawa Generals in last month's OHL Entry Draft. Noted Anderson, I would have liked to have had more local guys out, but the ones that were there put themselves in position to get invited to our main camp in August. We had a smaller (rookie) camp, with 18 forwards, 12 defence- men and nine goalies. That gave us a chance to give every- one a real look, and thats what we heard from the players." Anderson and IceDogs' Dave Brown - who's assuming general manager duties for both teams right now - are in the midst of finalizing two trades with other Tier 2 clubs, and are close to hiring an assistant coach, one who's said to have a fair amount of experience in the Provincial Jr. A Leagues Western Conference. "We'll need one more assistant, and would like have a for- mer player type like a Jeff Seeds or John Nadalin," said Anderson. The IceHawks will hold their main camp for the 2006/07 season starting in mid-August. Haydar, Admirais even in AHL finals Win or lose the Calder Cup this week, Darren Haydar and his Milwaukee Admirals will wrap up their season on home ice. A 7-2 loss to the Hershey Bears Sunday evening knotted the American Hockey League championship at two games apiece, and means the series will be going back to Milwaukee for at least one game - with tonight's winner able to clinch the title at the Bradley Centre Thursday If necessary a seventh and deciding con- test will be played in Milwaukee Saturday. While the Admirals are two wins away Darren from capturing their second Calder Cup in Haydar three years, Haydar is two games away from equaling an AHIL playoff record. With a second-period goal Sunday, lie extended his point- scoring streak to 14 games - two shy of the leagues post- season benchmark. Haydar delivered bis sixth game winner of the plavoffs the night before and added an assist to defeat Hershey 2-0 in game thrce. The three-point weekend lifted him to 17 goals and 17 assists in 19 games - keeping him atop the post-sca- son scorng race.
