i i p7t2 the tribunej thursday january 15 1998 w r st the tribune oris leisure got a score call our hotline at 6402 100 king family figures well with spirit sports notes bruce stapley stouffville has its own version of larry king live and it goes on every thursday night at the rec centre thats when the father of spirit of stouffville supercentre darcy king takes clip board in hand and charts everything of any conceivable statis tical significance at spirit games larry who along with darcy and the rest of the king clan reside in barrie has been serving as a statisti- iseian for the past seven years he started out keeping stats for his other son darryl for four years when the older sibling was playing minor hockey after darryl now 18 hung up the blades to pursue a more academic way of life larry took pen and clip board in hand and followed darcy and his barrie aaa major bantams as they skated all the way to an omha championship in the 1995- 96 season they had pulled off the same feat the year as a minor bantam outfit no small thanks to darcy s considerable scoring and playmaking talents dad volunteered his services when darcy signed on to bolster the spirit as a fresh faced 16 year old in the fall of 1996 larry volunteered his statistical services fr and im sure darcy who moved back home after being billeted in stouffville his first season with the spirit is quite happy to have some one share the drive back to barrie after yet another night of putting in some 30 minutes of ice time larry charts home and road games keeping track of goals assists power play goals game winning goals shots on goal by each player plus- minus figures shooting percentage goalie stats total shots for and against scoring streaks etc etc after each ame he enters all his new data into a special program on his home computer but while larry keeps his stats up to the second he cant say the same for the provincial junior a hockey league in general thats why he wasnt able to tell me just where darcy and his equally prolific linemate kevin edgar stood in terms of overhauling eastern con ference scoring leader david deeves of the collingwood blues after darcy and kevin racked up five and four points respectively in the spirits win over the ajax axemen at the rec centre on jan 8 darcy whose big night left him with 30 goals and 53 assists may well have been sitting atop the points race edgar was right behind with 29 goals and 50 assists as for shooting percentage darcy lights the lamp 19 per cent of the time he takes aim while edgar has a 17 per cent rate geoff keillor is the most deadly spirit gunner with a healthy 23 per cent shooting percent age these stats are of course cour tesy of larry son sets goal in the meantime darcy who col lected 68 points last season as a provincial league rookie set 100 points as his target for this campaign with 12 games to go as of jan 8 he should make that even if he ven tured out onto the ice without his stick and what has darcy got to say about edgar his 19yearold line- mate who has already doubled last years points production hes the biggest surprise of the season darcy says following up with the ultimate tribute hes prob ably the best player ive ever played with it would appear that darcy who at 17 seems certainly headed for even better things will likely be wearing spirit colours for another season yet hes currently in grade 12 in bar rie and while he could conceivably grab a hockey scholarship at an american college next year larry says his son will likely stay put as hes more than happy with coach dan larmer

witteveen spirit grounded by eagles the spirit of stouffville suf- fered their own power outage tuesday night in bowmanville but it had nothing to do with the weather the spirit surrendered seven goals in a span of 14 minutes in the middle period wip ing out an otherwise stellar performance as they fell 8- 5 to the host eagles in the provin cial junior a hockey league con test it was just one of those cases where the light went out then went back on again lamented spirit head coach dan larmer it was a different bunch of guys in black shirts out there for the first 14 minutes of the second period lamented larmen it was proba bly the worst 14 minutes weve played all season frustrating larmer even more was the fact that his team played like world beaters th rest of the evening we played an outstand ing first period maybe our best of the year and we dominated them in the third the spirit led after 20 minutes but trailed 83 after the disastrous second stanza they came back with a pair
