is what eventually leads to strong national teams which can com pete for international honors at events including the olympics field hockey teams have 11 players a side like soccer but the positions they take on the field are different there is a lot of running involved and only three substitu tions a game are allowed hachey said there were some pretty big differences between the sport at the high school level and the provincial team its a completely different approach between the two she explained on a high school team its important to have fun and there are varying degrees of skill but with the provincial team they take things a lot more seriously she pointed out that with the better players a lot of time was spent on strategy and set plays whereas in high school the basics of the

finals in a tournament last weekend the boys travelled to ottawa for the gloucester international tourna ment they were full of optimism and expecting to make at least the semifinals however due to a number of factors including the hot weather and injuries the panthers failed to advance out of the first round in the four other tourneys theyve been in this season they reached the finals winning two of them they got the gloucester off to a bad start saturday morning and never really recovered from their first game 21 loss to south ottawa though the game began at 8 am the conditions were ex tremely hot and humid and this took a toll on the fathers who started sluggishly stouffville quickly fell behind by two goals in the first half panther coach alfons rubbens called both of the ottawa scores defensive giveaways captain charlie melko scored a beautiful goal to bring the panth ers close in the second half but despite intense pressure they couldnt ge the equalizer we had a lot of opportunities in the second half to tic it but we just couldnt got the ball in the net rubbens explained with their backs against the wall and playing in the swelter ing noon day heat the panthers came up with a gutsy perform ance to knock off montreals jeantallon 20 travis white scored both stouffville goals and according to rubbens they were both classics good enough to be framed on the first goal white took the ball through the entire montreal defence before pulling the goalie and scoring and as if that wasnt enough white managed to top that feat when he curved a freekick from twenty yards out around the mon treal wall and into the top right corner of the net for goal number two they were just magnificent goals rubbens said the second was an absolute classic the win meant the panthers still had a chance of advancing to the semifinals if they could beat their final opponent of the day kleinjuventus from texas the match was extremely close as the texas boys proved to be an outstanding team and it en ded in a 11 draw ben cheung scored the lone stouffville goal in second half the tie wasnt good enough to put the panthers into the next round though and the tourna ment was over for them considering the intense heat the surprisingly stiff competition and the fact that the panthers were missing five starters due to injury rubbens was proud of their play we only had one substitute for three games in that heat he said you just cant win in that situation it was a good tourna ment though wellrun and a lot of fun slidin home safely an unidentified stouffville credit
