Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks hockey team met their match when they were hosted by a very quick Moncton Blue Eagles and lost a best-of-tttree Canadian Interuniversity Athletic Union series in two straight games by scores of 5-4 on Friday and 7-3 on Saturday. V "iiidy" just inn too much pressgre on us," said WLU athletic director Rich Newbr'ough, who made the trip to Mouton: "We couldnlt hangle then: speed l think they have an excellent chance of winning the nationals. - - - V A Blueangles will travel to Edmonton to compete for the CIAU title along with York Yeomen, University of Quebec and the host Alberta team. Five years ago, Eric Calder was on top of the hockey world. A _ _ - _ Theh a IT-year-old defencemen, Calder had been a key performer with the Cornwall Royals of the Quebec Major Juoior Hockey League. _ In December of that season. the Royals repre- sented Canada in the World Junior Hockey Championships in West Germany. Then they went on to win their second straight Memorial Cup. To top things off, in the June NHL draft, Calder was the Washington Capitals 2nd pick selected and 45th over-all. Things looked good for the 6-1 180 pound Waterloo native. But after junior hockey was over, Calder couldn't crack the Capital's veteran defensive unit of Rod Langway and company. So he spent the year with Hershey of the AHL and after it was over he decided a change was needed. “It wasn't that I didn't like the American Hockey League. it was very good competitive hockey. I just didn't see much of a future with Washington," says the former Waterloo Siskin, Washington's loss was Wilfrid Laurier's gain. in order for a professional hockey player to be eligible for this season. Eric had to be a tull-tinte student for a year. By doing this last year. it proved to be a helpful move. Tim Wharnsby Chronicle Special "After sitting Ast last year, I had a good break Craig Woeltle of Waterloo follows through on his shot during tghuffiettoard tournament at Kitchener Legion on Saturday. The Molson's sponsored tournament attracted 24 two-man teams and was won by a team from Milton. A team from Kitchener was second and the third place finishers were from Welles- lay. Moncton Blue Eagles were too hardto catch Salder was flying high with Hawks CONCENTRATION Hawks spent too much time in the penalty box in the first game and gave up four power play goals while being outshot 34-?2, - - . Terry McCutcheon, Bob Dean, Eric Calder and Doug Marsden scored for Hawks in the first game but Marsden's goal came with just one second remaining in the game. Dean also scored in the second game along with Berle Sykes and Shawn Reagan but Hawks couldn't stop the line of Claude Lefebvre, Claude Gosselin and Claude Vilgrain. -riaGiFusiilTirair John Sheppard was the starter in both games and he was outstanding. from hockey and was looking forward to starting a new season." Coach Wayne Gowing also welcomed Calder's move. "This was supposed to be a rebuilding year for us, but with the addition of weltquality fillers as Eric, Shawn Reagan and Terry McCutcheon), it turned out to be a great season." Calder proved it to be a good move for himself also. Over the Christmas holidays he played in the World Student games representing Canada in Battle Creak, Michigan. Then he went on to become the leading scorer among the Golden Hawk defence, scoring five goals and adding 23 assists in 24 gmes and was an OUAA first team all-star along with McCutcheon. Gowing adds, "He is a gifted hockey player offensively, and so good with the puck. He has the ability to read situations out there and make the right choice." Golden Hawks were riding a five-game winning streak entering the play-offs before losing to York Yeomen in the OUAA finals and to Moncton Blue Gayles in CIAU regional play. Calder says his biggest hockey thrill was winning the Memorial Cup in 1981. A close second was playing against the Soviet Union in the World Junior Championships. "His experience really helped fill in the position left open by Rob Whistle. And I try to give him a lot of ice time. especially on power plays and killing penalties, because he wants to play a lot."
