games and then they signed me eliopoulos says the spirit have shown a wmning chemistry from the beginning oftheseason the team seemed to fit together right from the start despite a recent minislump that saw the spirit lose three games in a row eliopoulos feels the team will be ready for the playoffs next month we know we have the talent to play with any team in our north conference and i think we understand that the whole season boils down to how you do in the playoffs he said an added incentive is that the playoffs are the best time to be seen by scouts from ohl and university hockey teams looking ahead eliopoulos says hell make a decision after the season ends as to whether to try again to make it in the ohl or pursue a hockey scholarship with an american university hes already been approached by schools including colgate university while his dreams include playing in the national hockey league one day he realizes the odds are against such an eventuality so hell con tinue to play at the highest level possible until he can no longer hold his own as long as i can still compete ill be out there spirit struggling the spirit of stouffville suffered its fifth loss in its last six outings on saturday when it dropped a 75 road decision to the seventhplace parry sound shamrocks the spirit trailed 21 after one period but bat tled back to knot the count at 33 through two after both clubs exchanged goals by the midway point of the final period the shamrocks delivered three unanswered goals to take a 74 lead doug orr delivered two goals for the spirit now 232120 on the season jesse johnston jd smithson and michel bond on a power play added singles the spirit were just one of seven on the power play the loss enabled the huntsville wildcats to move within two points of the fifthplace spirit the spirit will host the collingwood blues on thursday and then travel to markham on friday for a game with the waxers the spirit will then con clude its regular season schedule sunday on the road against the newmarket hurricanes at 730 pm executives have the right to view final details of any agreement from page 14 opment of players and coaches and anything that can enhance that has to be looked at as positive he said any agreement to join forces would require the approval of both executive boards as well as that of the memberships of both associations through a vote it would also need to be ratified by the ontario minor hockey association and may require ontario hockey federation approval while the wsmha rep players would appear to favour a merger with the waxers cartwright said the idea has encountered some opposition among coaches and parents some fear that by letting stouffville youngsters play in markham there could be a weakening of stouffville rep teams he says while that is a possibility it would be offset by the greater opportu nities available to the stouffville play ers from an executive standpoint while you want to have the strongest teams possible you also want to create the best opportunities possible for the kids he said awsmha committee is cur rently considering the form the merger would take the executive has reserved the right to view the final details of any agree ment before giving its blessing a general membership meeting is to be held in late february if we are making progress said cartwright ideally it could be in place for next season as long as the membership agrees he said there is the possibility the merger could be introduced in phases beginning with the transfer of the wsmhas aaa affiliation to the waxers for the 20002001 season bill jefferson markham minor hockey association president noted the talks between the two organiza tions are not new weve been working on this for quite a while for close to 10 years he said its a natural mix for markham and stouffville we seem to do everything else together he reasoned local runners make their mark indoors stouffville runner fred robbins gave a good account
