Page 12 â€" For the entire summer leading up to this season, Fedy, a crack fiveâ€"handicapper at Westmount Golf Club, took to the links without the sticks and ran two miles a day to strengthâ€" en his legs and increase his endurance. It obviously worked, as he had his best start ever in the Waterloo Minor Hockey system stemming from minor atom days. It has been a career not void of detours though, as one of Fedy‘s biggest disappointments came when he was told he wasn‘t good enough to make the major peewee club. _ But Fedy bounced back in minor bantam, and credits his coach at that level, Randy Musselman, as well as his father Joe who has constantly supported him during his career, for helping to turn things around in the right direction. *‘*My dad has always been there with encoyragement, and Randy was probably one of the best coaches I‘ve had as far as giving me confidence is concerned. Randy just pulled me aside one day and told me that if I was willing to work hard there‘d always be a place for me on his team."‘ Throughout minor and major bantam, Fedy played on a line with Roy Russellgnow of Waterloo Siskins Junior B, and 4 mmmhny ‘tleadiq"umm 'm":im folâ€" gets, as lowed by Dennis Shantz with 52 and Saunders with 48. But don’tfart,hntotalscamhflgm‘mrt'icg‘he number Fedy has played to this point. And with the handful of multipleâ€"goal games that the 16â€" yearâ€"old right winger has pieced together in recent time, who knows what heights he could reach by season‘s end. If nothing else, he is seeing ample reward for the change of attitude he brought to the rink this year, an approach he realized he‘d haveâ€"to have if he expects to go anywhere in Saunders, Paul Mowbrays and Mark Harris‘ of midget glory days gone by. & f 7 As of last Saturday, Chevies had played 38 games and in those, Fedy has scored 43 goals and.assisted on 36 others for 79 points, in addition to his plusâ€"56 goals for/against ratio. _ _Not a bad stat when you consider that one of the best Waâ€" .

While aware of the electric feeling around the system in regards to his individual heroics, Fedy is quick to compliâ€" ment his clubmates, especially those of minor midget age who are filling the roster with admirable enthusiasm. *‘Chris (Lang) and Duanne(Moeser) and I are sort of lookedlpwastheleaders.andweu-ytohelpthomysas much as we can," said Fedy. "But with so many new guys, we‘ve had some trouble adjusting to each other, and really only one line has been scoring. But take a guy like Kevin Schnurr, he‘s had his problems scoring, but he keeps workâ€" ;ng and working, and hopefully he‘ll catch the scoring ever." » + ‘â€" Fedy, in a st{le similar to whizâ€"kid Wayne Gretzky, does not immediately impress on first view*ng. since he isn‘t a flaslgy skater who leads those scintillating endâ€"toâ€"end the net," said Neisen, who was also praised by Fedy as a confidence builder for the amount of ice time he allots the scoring sensation. "And believe me, there is no one around who wants to win more than him. He just can‘t stand losâ€" ing."‘ ‘‘But inside the opposition blueline, he‘s just incredible, he sure knows what to do with the puck when he gets near the net." said Neisen. who was alsn nraised huv Kadv ac a year. Only two players, Fedy and captain Chris Lang, reâ€" main from the club that at the minor bantam level peaked as a unit when they went all the way to the OMHA finals before losing out to Oshawa. * s For all the new faces and combinations, Chevies haven‘t done too badly, finishing second in Hub League play behind Stratford with a 12â€"8 record. They hold a 1â€"0 series lead over Sarniaâ€" in OMHA quarterâ€"final action after winning 6â€"5 Saâ€" turday on Duanne Moeser‘s lastâ€"minute goal, and are also embroiled in the tight Hub League title bunt. *‘I have to mix it up and score goals to keep from getting flatfooted at the beginning of the game," said Fedy, a dieâ€" hard Montregl Canadien fan, and worshipper of their famous right/winger Guy Lafleur. "And usually when we score the first goal we‘ win."
