t's been 21 years since Greg Hummel last played for a Presi- Idcnls Cup tiile with the old ghost of a K-W Kodiaks Senior "B" lacrosse team. which lost the national championship to Orangeville. Now the coach and general manager of the reincarnated Kodiaks is hoping to correct some of his team's past history. and he thinks he has the team to do it as his "Bruins" go into the eight-tearn Presidents Cup loumamenl on a nine-game win streak. It wasn't just any win streak either. All nine wins came in the playoffs, as the Kodiaks swept away the competition to earn the franchise its first provincial title after winning the Presidents Cup in 2003. But this team is playing for more than just a provincial title. Why celebrate taking Ontario when you can have the rest of Canada? And on your home tloor too? So did he have any worries in opening up the tournament which the Kudiaks are hosting from Aug. 22-27 at the Waterloo Memorial Recreation (bmplex? Well, a IO-day pause in play is a hit ofa concern. "I believe that we are on a roll. so I wasn't overly thrilled with the week HIT." said Hummel.

Not that you'd notice the lower portion of his right arm is missing when you watch him play.
