The Oakville Beaver, Wednesday October 15, 2003 - D3 Rangers rep hockey The Oakville R angers bantam AA rep team , sponsored by Mattamy Homes and Dianne Boot. Prudential Town Centre Realty, got off to a solid start in league play. The team has had to fight through a series of injuries that has seen the team play at times with only 10 skaters. Despite the injuries, a combina tion o f strong play and timely contributions from call-ups, has the team atop the standings, winning four of their first five games. OAKVILLE 5, Brampton Battalion 4: defenceman Anthony Farrow played the hero with the winning goal in the season opener against last year's first-place team. Farrow scored on a shot from inside the blue line with just over a minute remaining. Jacob Truant scored a pair, while singles went to Mark White and Brett West. Assists went to White (2), West, Farrow, Ben Bennett, Chris Hill. Daniel Tremblay, Anthony Albrecht and Jordan Macintosh. OAKVILLE 6. Ancaster 2: a four-assist game for Ben Bennett. Goals were scored by Jacob Truant (2), Daniel Tremblay. Mark White, Brad Savelson and Mike Young. Other assists went to Tremblay (2), Mark Friesen, Truant, Jordan Macintosh and Anthony Albrecht. OAKVILLE 4, Flamborough 1: the team was helped out by strong contributions from 4 A/Ps -- Ted Starr, Matt Gulliver, Willie Joyce and Brandon Smith. Both Gulliver and Smith scored as did Anthony Albrecht and Mike Young. Assists went to Young, Anthony Farrow, Mark White, Daniel Tremblay and Jacob Truant. Stoney Creek 3, OAKVILLE 1: Daniel Tremblay managed Oakville's only goal, assisted by Anthony Farrow and goaltender Kris McCoubrey. Oakville could not overcome the combination of a shortage of regular players and dispropor tionate penalties -- 14 minutes of penalties compared to none for Stoney Creek. OAKVILLE 2, Burlington 1: all the scoring occurred in the third period with A/Ps Adam Kubacki and Shane Cole provid ing the goals, with assists to Jacob Truant, Jordan Macintosh, Anthony Farrow and Anthony Albrecht. Alex Boot was spec tacular in net and the team was disappointed to lose his shutout with less than a minute left in the game against the reigning OMHA champs. After dropping a tight 3-2 decision in Flamborough for their season opener, the Oakville R angers m inor atom AA rep team have won three straight. Flamborough 3, OAKVILLE 2: after falling behind 3-0, Oakville's comeback fell just short. OAKVILLE 6, St. Catharines 1: after a scoreless, first peri od tie, Oakville broke it open with four goals in the second period en route to winning their home opener. OAKVILLE 1, Burlington 0: at 5:41 of the 3rd period, Tim Berberien batted a shot from Matthew Capem out of the air and past the Eagles netminder to give the Rangers the only goal they would need. Burlington pressed hard for the remain der of the game but a strong defensive corps led, 1n part, by Harrison Domagala held on for the win. The win handed the goaltending duo of Taylor Mcleod and Brandon Tretter their first shutout since they blanked the oppo sition in back-to-back games during the Richmond Hill earlybird tournament this past September. In that tournament the Rangers made it to the semifinals, before being beaten by the Georgina Blaze who had not lost in their previous 62 outings. Georgina went on to take the gold. OAKVILLE 3, Stoney Creek 2: the Bruins opened the scoring but Oakville responded with three straight by Tim Berberien, minor atom A call-up Taylor Stewart and Carson Dixon. The Rangers now stand at 3-1. The Oakville R angers novice A rep team emerged from the weekend with their undefeated status intact. With a season opening 6-3 triumph over Burlington, followed by a 4-1 win against Brampton, the young team set the tone for a two-game Saturday/Sunday showdown this past weekend. The first game played at Oakville Arena had them edging Woolwich 3-2 in a contest that went down to the very last second, and then on Sunday the boys skated to a 2-2 tie against a hardworking Hespeler squad, a game that was played on the Olympic ice surface in Cambridge. Powered by smooth skating forwards, a hard working defence corps and rock solid goaltending, the ever-improving hockey team appear to be in for a successful season. The 2003-04 edition of this team is as follows: Dalton Smith, Austin Washkurak, Blake Jones, Sean Ferguson. Jacob Prinsen, Brad Dennis. Calvin Rypkema, Ryan Bums, Tyler Ruton, Josh McMeekan, Christian Lloyd. Mackenzie Connor. Jason Kwast, Colin George, William Finlay, Matthew Lunder. and Tyier McLaughlin. Head Coach: Don McLaughlin. Coaches: Anthony George. Mark Dennis and Barry Ferguson. Manager: Steve Ruton. New Little League facility going up on Cornwall Road `I w onder w hat th ey 're building th e re ?

Blades road swing continues in Brampton Thursday night (Continued from page 01) with a close game, things couldn't get settled. A few of their guys went after our better play ers," Oakville acting head coach Lou Camevale said afterward. "(Thachuk) had a mandate as soon as the puck was dropped to go after our guy." Wiseman was unavailable for comment after the game but both Thachuk and Cougars assistant coach Paul Folkes denied the allega tion. "It was all me, my decision," said Thachuk, a first-year player with the Cougars. "We were just going at it the entire game. (Dawson) got a few sticks up on me and I got a few sticks up on him. so we decided to handle it like men. I like to continue the tradition." Burlington's Spencer Churchill and Oakville's Charlie Giffin dropped the gloves with two seconds left in regulation, a fight instigated by Giffin. Both players were tossed from the contest, as was Cougars defenceman Evan Divalentino. "I just reminded their coaches we play them five more times this year and stuff like that is not w elco m eC riscu lo said when asked what he might have said to upset Wiseman. "He took that to heart and camtf after our bench. At that point, it's just a matter of sticking up for our guys."

The game was the first meeting between Oakville and Burlington since the two teams clashed in the first round of last year's play offs. The Blades swept Burlington in four games despite finishing below the Cougars in the regular season, and Folkes said his team wanted to redeem itself Friday night. "We wanted a good showing to make up for that series, and our guys rose to the chal lenge. We proved we could play against a top team, it was a big challenge for us." he said. Nick Dodge scored in the first period for Oakville, a beautiful solo effort that began at his own blue line.
