stux weekender september 211991 p19 outoftown exhibition games the uxbridge bruins are three for three in their exhibition schedule after a pair of road vic tories over the bowmanville eagles and the little britain merchants earlier this week and while team officials sug gest the team may be even better than the one that took the central ontario league crown last spring they claim to be in a quandary all the same were going to have a real problem trying to make decisions on players said chuck phillips general manager of the junior c club the rookies are pushing the veterans for jobs and were going to have to let some people go who can play junior c hock ey but not for us ive never had a situation where so many quali ty players have wanted to play for us theres just not enough room for them all with only two returnees from last years bruins defence corps phillips had thought defence would be a concern but his anx iety is fading we thought wed be suffering on defence but its

chalykoff all of whom were looking to play junior b hockey or higher now face the prospect of having to crack a tough lineup with the bruins phillips said while talent will be the number one criteria the coaching staff will be governed partly by the leagues import rule which allows only four players from outside durham region and stouffville but phillips said he trusted mcdowall and his assistants to make the right choices last year it was jims first season with us and he had pretty big shoes to fill he didnt know the players and it was his first year as a junior c coach it takes time to gel and we didnt really come together until christmas but this year i have full con fidence in the coaching staff and they will have the final decision as to who makes the team the bruins take on little
