byjohncudmore staff writer ever since they were over looked in the ontario hock ey league draft the focus for andrew eastman and myles gomes has been securing an education through hockey to the south turns out they could well have been looking in a more easterly direction as it happens both play ers are expected to make their debuts tomorrow night when the moncton wildcats open their quebec major jr a hockey league season against the acadiebathurst titans after securing pack ages that will ensure their future schooling needs money for school the key for the former york simcoe express team mates both defencemen was the inclusion of educa tion packages for four years at a canadian university the packages kick in if the players do not sign pro con tracts eastman a sharon resi dent couldnt resist the lure of playing in the canadian hockey league despite apparently having a schol arship locked up to attend niagara university he found himself in a nolose situa tion moncton had been approaching me in the sum mer and i kept pushing them off saying i was going the scholarship route said the 19yearold a member of the aurora tigers national cham pionship squad last season who chose the wildcats over the ncaa school even at camp i was thinking if i didnt like it i could pull back but once i got there i was ok with it i told niagara if i was going to school they were the one but ithink they were disappointed it was a tough decision definitely like eastman gomes was undrafted out of the midget ranks and was stickhan- dling for an ncaa package but with nothing serious on the table following two sea sons with the stouflville spir it the whitchurchstouffville resident convinced himself the qmjhl was his best option still he struggled with the decision during the early part of the offseason i dont know why there was no ohl interest said gomes also 19 of the ohl draft three summers ago i just took it as a sign that it myles gomes former stouffville spirit defenceman signs with moncton wildcats wasnt my time to go part of the plan was to come back to stouffville and have a really strong sea son and get more notice this was definitely out of the blue maybe the fact it was so random threw doubt in my mind at first i wasnt taking it that seriously but then i looked into it further eastman said the repu tation of moncton coach danny flynn for moving players on to the next level was the pivotal factor in his decision flynn was an assis tant on ted nolans staff last season with the new york islanders and worked with the former nhl coach of the year previously in moncton two seasons ago and prior to that in sault ste marie eastman said once he was not drafted his focus shifted to the ncaa option when i didnt get drafted i started thinking the schol arship route confirmed the defenceminded defence- main i never really talked to anybody so i wasnt that disappointed i just figured it was time to take the scholar ship route my school is paid either way for four years and thats the same as a scholar ship both players plan to take courses at mount allison university attend mount allison landing in the q is clearly not an option either player would have foreseen long ago and its a spotwhere few ontario players venture but it was an offer no ohl team was willing to match east man said i was approached but the best offer was an edu cation package for two or three years not all four so i guess they werent that inter ested in me eastman said its definitely thrown me for a spin its almost like going back on my word to myself almost but not quite
