WLU Hawks pick up where they left off Richard O‘Brien Chronicle Staft Expect Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks hockey team to play the same grinding style this year that got them to allâ€"Canadian university finals at the end of last season. Hawks have moved. 'I‘hey't be playing their home games at "the Waterloo arena, which has a smaller ice surface than the Kitchâ€" ener auditorium and is therefore even more conducive to the physical forechecking game. That, combined with the fact that they have a solid nucleus of returâ€" nees, gives them little reason to change a style that has already proven successful. *‘*We feel the style of hockey we‘ve played, pressuring the other team in their own end, will be more successâ€" ful in the Waterloo arena," said Laurier coach Wayne Gowing. ‘"We like the situation of being at the Waterloo arena. We hope it will help us with the crowd." Hawks lost one of their most valuable players when goaltender Chronicle Staff After a long, hard losing 1982â€"83 season, the University of Waâ€" terloo hockey Warriors have a new look when it comes to many of their players and even the building where they‘ll play their home games. Warriors will play their Ontario Universiâ€" ties Athletic Associaâ€" tion hockey out of the new Columbia Icefield, which has a bigger ice surface than the Waâ€" terloo arena where they played last seaâ€" son. So while recruiting players for this season, head coach Jack Birch was looking for the ability to skate and move the puck quickâ€" ly. *‘‘We‘re saying to ourselves, we‘re going to go with the horses," said Birch. "The guys who want to play will have to show us they have a winning attiâ€" tude. *‘Barring some real serious injuries, I think we have a real good shot at the playoffs this year." Birch, who is a tireless recruiter, had a good turnout at camp. However, about six players he wanted weren‘t aceepted acaâ€" demically because they couldn‘t get good enough grades while playing major junior A hockey. Puck Warriors aim for playoff spot However, he did come up with players who should help the club. Tryouts joining last year‘s backup goalie Peter Crouse are Norm Guenneville, who has tier two junior A expeâ€" rience, Dean Benham and Larry Wolfe, who played for the junior C championship team in Dunnville last season. ‘"Goaltending is 100 rer cent better than ast year and I‘m pleased with it," said Last year‘s Warrtors had no right hand shots on defence and this year there are three. Jack McSorley, Chris White and Dave Cole, Dunnville‘s MVP last season, are all rightâ€" handed shots. Returning forwards Blair McArthur, Stu Hammond and Rick Hart will be joined by exâ€"Waterioo Siskin Jay Green and Neil Caâ€" meron from the Kitchâ€" ener Ranger B‘s. Other defencemen include Wilson Cowan, Ian Morewood, Bill Hodgins and returnee Danjoe McCormack. Other forwards inâ€" clude Kent Wagner from St. Louis, Steve Terry Thompson graduated. Howâ€" ever, Steve Bienkowski, who filled in admirably when Thompson was injured in the playoffs, will take over as the number one goaltender. Gowing notes there are some good goalies also trying out for the backup position. Hawks are fortunate to have all sevenr of their defencemen back from last season. ‘"‘We feel pretty comfortable," Gowing said of his defensive corps. ‘‘"We‘re hoping for good things. They gave Terry a lot of protection and we hope they do the same this year." Hawks have lost four forwards and have come up with newcomers, led by centre Rick Morocco. Morocâ€" co played major junior A hackey for the North Bay Centennials. We have some other newcomers, but he‘s the best newcomer we have," said Gowing. Hawks have already tied Conesâ€" toga College Condors 44 in an exhibition game. This weekend they travel to play U.S. colleges as preseason games continue. Warriors will again use the delta system in which the faceâ€"off man is used as a third deâ€" fenceman. Returnees Rick McKenny and Steve Crocker will be joined at that position by J.D. Yuri, who has major A experience but didn‘t play last vear. Chappel, Dave Holbert, Kevin Farachuk and Gary Abraham. "I think we‘ve imâ€" proved tremendously in terms of playing our position this year," said Birch. Warriors are at Uniâ€" versity of Michigan this weekend.
