The Oak Ridges Dynes Jewellers had just polished off Milton in the sixth game of their best-ofâ€"seven Central Ontario quarter finals and coach Pete Artemchuk was shaking his head about why it took so long. He had the answer. “That Milton goalie," he said. "was out of this world. We should have had that series four straight." The Jewellers finally got rid of Milton. or rather, goalie Ron Sachs Sunday night in Milton by an 8-3 score. That win plus a 4-1 verdict in Oak Ridges Saturday night offset a 6-5 loss the previous Friday and it was all over. ' MEET OAKVILLE The Jewellers now meet the J 9 wel/ers elimina te Milton in 6 They’ll be discussing the future of the local Rams and you might find it interesting. Tune in. To the uninitiated, the Rams' future seems somewhat shaky now simply because of a four-letter word called “money.” Hmmm. As for Artemchuk and any pressure with the up- coming series? PRESSURE? “There’s always pressure,” concedes Artemchuk, “but you learn to live with it. It only lasts until the opening whistle. You‘re too busy surviving after that, just keeping track of what’s going on out there.” Artemchuk confesses the only time he gets upset (which can be quite often on a bad night) is when “my players out there come up with a lunkhead play. Honest mistakes I don’t mind, if someone tries something and it doesn’t work. But if he keeps missing simple things when he shouldn‘t I tend to get heavy with him.” N0 FUN The one thing Artemchuk regrets about hockey these days is his inability to enjoy it like the average fan. “I go to any hockey game and I find myself analyzing every player‘s moves, the coaches, you name it. It would be nice just to sit back and enjoy it.” All that aside, it should be’a series the fans will en- joy. It starts next Friday in Oakville with Dynes’ first home game at Bond Lake Arena next Monday night at 8 And, above all, don’t breathe too heavily on that fragile creature called optimism. Take it eeeeasy getting out of bed. . a A final note here also on hockey. RAMS Jack Major of the Richmond Hill Town Hockey League will be on Classicomm tonight along with Rich- mond Hill Rams’ Publicity director Don Sears at 7:30, 9:30 and 11:30. “We’ve been hot and cold,” he said, “and that won’t do in the playoffs. Our goaltending has got to be hot. We have the defencemen to do it if they come up consistent.” That puts the onus clearly on the likes of Jerry Kofsky, Steve Latimer and Company. “We also have a top first line in Karl Taylor between A1 Reston and Glen Wright. And the best two penalty killers in the league in Earl Deamond and Len Hach- born.” The main question mark with the Jewellers, and Artemchuk concedes this, is his goaltending. But that’s here nor there right now. When I speak of optimism I think of Coach Pete Artemchuk and his Oak Ridges Dynes Jeweller Junior B team who have just eliminated Milton from the playoffs. IT BEGINS Now the hard part begins. Pete’s team now faces a tough Oakville crew with the prospect of meeting either Burlington or Streetsville in the finals if they prevail against the odds. Here comes one man’s definition of optimism: “It may seem unlikely to some people,” said Pete, “but I think we’ll take Oakville.” A pause while that fragile creature fights for her life. “I’ll even go one step further. In my opinion the key series is our one with Oak- ville. He continues: “Right now,” he said, “I feel I’ve finally got the team I want. We’ve filled a couple of weak spots with newcomers such as Kevin Johnstone and Brian Risk at right wing and left wing with Brent Dobson at centre. Having said that I should also say that I tend to listen when he talks. He’s been right quite a few times in his lengthy coaching career and he’s had his share of suc- cesses with championship teams over the years or near- misses. COURAGEOUS It’s easy to see that Pete is a courageous man when it comes to getting out of bed. “If we get by Oakville we’ll take either Burlington or Streets’ville. Don’t forget we’ve beaten Streetsville twice and even at that we were going with 11 or 12 players due to injuries. ’1 That’s why I usually get out of bed very carefully, delicately, and then often trip over my discarded shoes and take a header into the clothes closet door. So much forf optimism. I’m ready to begin my first comeback of the day. Optimism is a lovely word just so long as you don’t breathe on it too heavily first thing in the morning. It’s such a fragile creature it has been known to blow its petals by the sudden jarring movement of a head lifting from a pillow.
