PAULS 8 O 8 O 0 Seasoned coach handed his walking papers once again By Steve LeBlanc CANADIAN CHAMPION STAFF Getting the axe isn't exactly unfamil- iar territory for Jay Anderson. But being let go before even coach- ing his first garne - wel thats a new one. Thats essentiaily what happened t0 the seasoncd Provincial Jr. A League coach this wcck, as Rick Heinzs takeover of the Milton IceHawks brought a premature end to his tenure as the iearns head coach. Hired back in April by thcn owncr Manio Forgione after cutting tics witb the ncighbouring Raidcrs, 38-ycar-oid Andcrson of Gcorgctown simpiy didn't fit mbt thc tcarns ncw plans - accord- ing to Hcinz. Rcccîving officiai word on bis rclcasc Tucsday aftcrnoon froin David Brown - who up until rccntiy bad bccn ovcrsccing opcrations for both the iccHawsks and then alffliate Mississauga iceDogs - Andcrson didn't iry to rnask his disappoinincni. "This was tbe second time i was sup- posc to bc Mions hcad coach and was- nit,' hc said, rcfcrring to wbat hc caiicd a tcntai%,c agreement to take over as bcnch boss of thc 2003/04 iccHawks - bcforc Gcorgc Dupont was brought on board. "Its frusirating." news even tougher t0 swailow for Anderson is the Jay n eson fact that he and iay Anerson assistant coach Pai Cockiin - now gone as weii - had undergone an intense two montbs of rccruiting and had committments from a number of standout Jr. B players. Those deais are now nuit and void. "We'd donc so much work and were confident about rnaintaining what Milton hockey fans bad corne to, expect - whicb is a high ievei of competitive- ness," said Anderson, who bad baif-a- dozen different stints bebind the Raiders' bench and was an assistant wiib Milton in botb 1995-96 and 2003. il tbînk tbe smart tbing to do at tbis iaîc a date, cspcîaiiy w,ýiib no players coîning back, wouid bave been to kecp us around for a ycar. But ifs bis (Hcinz's) îcam and bis prerogative on bow be wanîs 10 run it. i'm sure bes got a plan."
