Earlier in the month MacDonnell, in a effort to motivate his players, removed the captain‘s °C from the sweater of Trevor Gallant and, after a team vote, proceeded to give it to Eric Manlow in an effort to rekindle the team leadership. It didn‘t work. "The theme we took to the team when we first came aboard here was ‘listen fellows, we are in control of our own destiny. How we start to act as a group from here on is going to determine what is going to happen to this hockey club down the road. Trust and respect and getting the players to come together as a group was the first task Ward wanted accomplished. Individual goal setting and team goal setâ€" ting have been built into the same frame work, with Ward hoping that the team is moving in the same direction. Helping to take the Rangers in the same direction is Greg Bignell, a Siskin coach of the week during the sumâ€" mer. Bignell, who was hired this past summer by the Siskins to replace Ward, resigned his position with the Siskins less than a week later to take on the assistant coaching duties with the Rangers. Also over from the Siskins is Mike Wright, who was also one of the assistant coaches for the team last season. Ward‘s first home game behind the Ranger bench was a 3â€"0 win over the Sarnia Stingers in a game marred by a braw! in the final 12 seconds of the third period. As a result of the incident, Ward, four Ranger and four Sarnia players received twoâ€"game suspensions by the OHL.Bignell received an indifinate suspension. In comparing the junior B Siskins to the major A Rangers, Ward, who was at Sunday nights Siskins/ Stratâ€" ford Cullitons game at the Mutual Group Arena, doesn‘t believe that there‘s too much player or personality differâ€" A Gift of Lasting Value *A watenrnLoo CA FRIENDLY PARKGNG, OVER 320 STORES & SERVICES Clip out and leave in his briefcase 385 Frederick St. (Frederick Mail), Kitchener T45â€"2771 Mon.Fri. 9:30â€"9; Sat. 9:305 Waterioo 746â€"6852 (Continued from page 30) "They‘re the same in terms of physiological developâ€" ment and maturation level. I think in terms, generically speaking, you‘re dealing with the same type of personality. We basically approach it the same way in a teaching perâ€" spective, we assume that when we get here, the players don‘t know much about the team game. That‘s not to say that they don‘t, but that‘s where we start. Our goals are the same as it was when I was with the Siskins, and that‘s give the players the prerequisites to go on to the next level and develop better people. "As far as the two groups themselves, there was such a bond that developed between the players and coaching staff of the Siskins last year that I don‘t think that bond‘s ever going to be broken. I love every one of those kids on that team last year. We were just like one big family.
