annual red and white tournament at schomberg collecting his first goal of the season defenseman de rek hutchinsons marker proved the winner as the clippers defeated a very strong barrie club 20 hutchinsons picture goal that had the barrie junior coach still hopeful two successive losses last week by the a s construction clippers the first a 61 beating by uxbridge the second a horror story that had lindsay humiliate the clippers 231 have not diminished coach jack watsons hopes of a win against uxbridge this weekend on the contrary de spite the teams poor re cord this season their one point lead over the uxbridge bruins could possibly be extended to three but only if they beat uxbridge on their own ice on friday but it wont be an easy win the game is crucial to both teams as neither have much hopes of col lecting points in the few remaining games left to them tlie loss of the bor rowed help from the midget squad was the main factor in their humiliation by lindsay last friday the midgets were outoftown in tournament play and needed every man they could muster watson is high in his praise for some of his players this has been a character building year for quite a number of them and you cant knock them for not trying he said chris baggs perform ance against lindsay was remarkable pure guts and determina tion was how watson described the young de fenseman also high on his personal list of best sellers is team captain jamie bell bell has tried hard all year and given it his best he said other players who come in for praise are mike anderson de scribed by watson as a three period player also chris brown chris freckleton freckleton hasnt missed a game or practice all season and bob whitesides asked if he thought the junior c clippers had run their lot watson swiftly rejected the idea of dropping the team give it another year and youll have plenty to choose from the midgets have a lot of class and combined with some of the younger players on the junior squad could make a fine junior team he opined goaltender beaten fair and square came in the second period from just inside the blue line sean mcquigge picked up the assist the in surance marker was an un- assisted effort by jeff christensen midway in the third period super goaltending by stouffvilles john bellerby earned him the games mvp award he also re ceived the tournaments best goaltender award also in the individual awards list was jim todd the clippers other goalie jim received a mvp award in my opinion by jim holt strange how a phrase can upset people last weeks opening sentence in an article about the sound of music atom squad that said confirming the opinion of hockey pundits that they are the best minor hockey team in a decade seemed to upset one or two people who have coached minor teams in the past they feel that their past efforts were put down by the state ment not so public opinion freely ex pressed is what constitutes such a statement to deny such sentiments in print would not only be churlish but dow nright unfair to the recipients anyone who would not give these youngsters their praise in full measure must be sing ularly uncharitable whether you agree or dis agree with the statement mat ters not but to phone in and say that the praise was too lav ish or that your team was bet ter presents ameanessof atti tude that i find rather tacky

clippers current ly hold the eighth and final playoff spot the bruins along with the clippers have been underdogs this season in the central ontario junior c hockey league but according to redshaw he is pleased with the way his team has been playing lately and according to him their spirits have never been higher the triple combina tion of a high team spirit redshaws confidence and an arena filled with a highly partisan crowd could well be the formu la the bruins need to win fridays game since starting the sea son redshaw has stuck with the exception of two late signings with 16 players who have come up through the local minor hockey system most of whom he has at one time or another coached were it not for blowing several games in the closing minutes of play the bruins could well be in
