instrumental in gettingthe upstairs portion of the Barrie Arena turned into combina tion meetingbooster club area Coates said he has too many business obligations to be travelling to another town to be involved in hockey plus wejustsncnt $10000 on that arena Sooner or later the people of Barrie are going to wake up and realize just what kind of hockey team they have here said Coates Coach Darryl Sly said those rumors of the Flyers leavmg have been floating around for four years now He mentioned that there was an element in Collingwood trying to get Senior hockey back and with Barrie showing sporadic iii terest in supporting senior hockey over the years it was natural for rumors to begin Flyers open bestofseven semifinal playoff series against the Orillia Terriers tonight at the Barrie Arena Terriers are said to be hurting but Sly is skeptical He feels it could be ploy on the part of the Terriers to lull Flyers into state of overconfidence He said the Flyers are going out ready to play healthy team Sometimes players play better hurt he offered No way does Sly expect an easy series with Orillia Were looking to win the first period of the first game Terry Skelcher manager of the

Both Coates and Sly said they expect the series could last as long six games Flyers are not totally free of injuries themselves Defenceman Steve Sly stopped shot with his knee in ame mission for the remainder of the game He skated at Mondays practice but may just see limited action tonight Bob Monteith has not played in any of the Plyers playoff games since injuring himself in the second last game of the schedule and hes doubtful starter Sly is not taking anything for granted He espects rillia to give Barrie their best shot just as sure as he expects Bill rie to win Ken Knapton who joined
