In this year of rebuilding, Hooper, Siskin architect and coach, promised fans a team that could utilize the Olympic size ice surface of the Mutual Group Arena as wel! as score a mittful of He laid the team foundation this August by putting together the highest scoring line in the junior B hockey loop. A line that scores almost at will, A line that‘s the heart and soul of the team as well as the organization. When talking to Waterloo Siskin left winger - David Pfoh1, centre Tyler Rennette and right & winger Joe Pikula, one can feel the energy and see the excitement in their expressions as they talk about playing hockey in Waterloo. Old time hockey, where finesse dominates goon hockey, has returned to Waterloo with the highest scoring line in the Midwestern Junior B Hockey League. With 52 points, including a league leading 32 assists in just 18 of a 48â€"game season, the soft hands of Ploh] sees the speedy winger well on his way to capturing the Midwestern Junior B scoring title. His closest rival is Kitchener Dutchman Shawn Maltby with 43 points. Rennette, a prloducl of the North Bay area, and Pikula, who left Ohsweken Golden Eagles after last season, sit in fifth place with 36 points. s â€" At the age of 20, Pfohl, a product of Waterloo minor hockey, is the veteran who wears the 199293 Sutherland Cup ring he won while playing for the Siskins. After taking part of last year off to play hockey in western Canada, Pfoh! returned to Waterâ€" loo during the final weeks of a disappointing Siskin seasort. Rennette, who picked up two goals and two assists this past summer in helping the under â€"17 Ontario team to the under â€" 17 World Championship over Finland, is a hot item in the eyes of OHL and US college scouts.

'E Then, there‘s Pikula, who after enduring a frustrating season with Ohsweken, came to m Waterloo, much to the dismay of Golden Eagle management and fans. The 17â€"yearâ€"old Brantâ€" ford native knows that he wouldn‘t win a popâ€" ularity contest in Ohsweken and according to Hooper, there‘s a possibility that he won‘t dress Pikula for a game against his former team in Ohsweken. Hooper believes the wingers‘ future is far too bright to have it shortened by a cheap shot by a player on one of the highest penalized teams in the league. "I‘m not worried about playing down there. 1 think I can handle myself. If not, 1 know 1 have plenty of team mates who can back me up," said the Grade 12 Bluevale student. Even though they‘re the league‘s top scoring line, the trio confess that they don‘t feel the pressure. They‘re too busy hayâ€" ing fun. And, when the team is down by a goal or two, their attitude is simple: Let‘s go out and get a goal. Chances are they‘ll follow through. "If we‘re losing we‘ll say, ‘let‘s get things going‘. We have the ability to do it, so let‘s do it‘," said Pikula. The trio have scored 48 of the team‘s 123 goals and have 79 of the team‘s 193 assists. They‘ve also scored 17 of Siskins 34 power play goals. After earning seven of a possible eight points in a hectic fourâ€" game fiveâ€"night schedule last week, which saw them move past Kitchener for second place, Pfohl, is anticipating another equially important series of games in December when Siskins meet the first place Cullitons twice, followed by games against Kitchener Duichmen, Owen Sound Greys and Elmira Sugar Kings. Two of theirâ€"three losses were at the hands of Stratford. â€""The I;eâ€"y to our line is to work hard.
