LIMPING On the limp are newcomers Paul O‘Dacre and Doug Pollock plus other players with various degrees of bruises. Both are expected to be key members of the Oak Ridges defensive corps this season. They are expected to be bulwarks of the defence along with Paul Westcott (64%". 190 pounds) who played with the Newmarket Provincial A Flyers for the last two season. O’Dacre is a 6‘1", 195-pounder who had a stint with the Oshawa Major A Generals last year, and Pollock weighs in at 6’1", 195 pounds also. ‘ Dynes’ Junior B’s edge Pickering 4-3 “But those injuries always haunt you. We started the game with 22 players on the bench with a,view to making some cuts after the game. Injuries changed our mind." ROFFEY STARS Monday night’s game also saw homebrew Dale Roffey popping in a couple of goals with newcomer Brent Dobson, of Stayner, getting the other one. In fact, there will be a lot of newcomers on this year’s Jeweller entry besides the ones already men- tioned. NEW FACES There should be no less than 11 new faces," figures coach Artemchuk, “which means some old faces will be missing from last season It's strictly a case of getting' a little better quality of players." “It was nice to win," said Dynes’ coach Pete Artemchuk following a lst period goal by Tony Robinson which gave Oak Ridges a 4-3 win over Pickering at Bond Lake Arena. The Oak Ridges Dynes Jewellers’ Mid~0ntario Junior B team won another exhibition hockey game Monday night but it proved costly in injuries â€" at least over the short run.

Anotheri“pleasanf surprise" for Artemchuk has been the play of Oak Ridges’ Midget of last season, Glen Wright. “Glen has been coming up with some tegjifiq hockey.“ Other newcomers on the forward lines will include the aforementioned Dobson who hails from Stayner who Artemchuk figures at 16-years-ofâ€"age is as good as or better than Montreal’s Doug Jarvis was “at that age”. Artemchuk should know. He coached Jarvis in junior hockey at Brantford. And of course, Artemchuk is well set with returning veterans in the persons of Roffey, Steve Sherman, Cam Reston and Ian Crockford (both of whom missed the game due to injuries), Robinson, Mike Carnevale (who was moved back to defence due to injuries), Irwin and goalie Doug Brumwell. “We’re opting for size as well as talent on our defence this season,” said Artemchuk. “You have to have that size behind the blueline.” Also on hand is Shane Harvey‘ of Sudbury; plus Blair Sutherland, of last year’g Maple Midgets‘ Only two players will be returning to the defensive corps which Artemchuk figures was “a weak link last season". They are starry Neil Crockford and Randy Irwin. “I think Dennis will beva great ad- dition," said Artemchuk. “He’s a terrific skater.” LOCAL HOPEFULS A local hopeful is Dennis Limoges of Maple who, at 6‘and 200 pounds, is just what Artemchuk is looking for.
