He wants Christmas like present Eight teams from the various leagues around Ontario will converge on the Aud for four days of competition culminating in the gold medal game Tues. Dec. 29. More prominent leagues, such as the Midwestern loop, will have two entries. \_ Among the players selected by Egers and South GM The boyish grin, it was duly noted, was etched on Jack Egers‘ face a good half hour before his Kitchener Ranger dB:tooktotheicengalnstSiskinsatWateflooAmaS- y. The same grin showed no signs of dissipating a good half hour after Rangers handed Siskins a 6â€"4 loss to draw into a secondâ€"place tie with the Waterioo club. And why should it? A man who has played a game most of his life easily recognizes when his club is on a roll, which Rangers are, and which Egers recognizes. He is clearly savoring the preâ€"Christmas present. ‘"We had a bad start this year, defensively we were making a lot of errors and we weren‘t getting good goaltending at all," said the former Siskin coach, who crossed the town tracks this year to line up with Big Bill Tanchuk and the leased but not least Ranger Bs. "But we‘ve really changed things around. The defense is playing super, and our goalies have their heads together now. Just the other night in Stratford, Chris Power was fantastic. He held us in the game the first two Stats will show Rangers fell behind Cullitons 4â€"3 early in the third, then tied it on the powerplay before popping home two quickies to give them the buffer for a 6â€"5 victory. The stats also show league scoring leader Larry Shomphe was held in check but that Rangers‘ supporting cast made up the difference. *‘That‘s the key to our success. Right now, we‘ve got three potent lines, and all of them can put the puck in the net. It‘s a situation a coach loves to have." Obviously, it‘s a situation Egers would love to have, and might very well have, when he takes the reins of the Midwestern Junior B South team entry (Cambridge, Waterloo, Kitchener, Elmira) into the Christmas week Miracle Food Mart Junior B tournament in Kitchener. With the assorted purges and movements made within the league‘s coaching ranks in the past couple of years, it could be argued that seniority, as well as success ratio, has resulted in Egers and Stratford‘s Jack Nairn being chosen coaches for the loop‘s two allâ€"star entries. Whatever, Egers sounds like he is having as much fun with Team South as he is with Rangers. _ _ _ "We (Rangers) have practice time booked at the Aud on Saturdays, and we‘ve given that up until Christmas so the allâ€"stars can practice," said Egers, who has put the chosen selects through their paces twice already in preparation for the unique event. UPTOWN WATERLOO PARKING FOR SHOPPERS (MUNICIPAL PARKING LOTS) George Bardwell were nine Rangers and six Siskins, including the goaltending tandem of Tim McCullough and Jeff Nickel. ‘"*Waterloo probably has the best goaltending in the league right now, in terms of consistency," said Egers. "Nicke!l and McCullough are very comparable, they don‘t have the tendency to have a bad game." Other Siskins plucked for the occasion include defenseman Roger Carlaw and the highâ€"flying forward unit of Pat Hinnegan, Jeff Job and Tim Fedy, which has shifted down a gear due to recent injuries to Job and Barring â€"injuries or replacements, the following players will represent the Midwestern Junior B (South) team lineup in the Miracle Food Mart Junior B allâ€"star tournament in Kitchener Dec. 26â€"29.

"Of course we‘d have loved to have Mulroney...but our own Dave Boudreau is the same type of heady player, with the ability to move the puck," said Egers. "And I like what I see from Bob Nunn of Cambridge too. He‘s a good puck control player." And puck control is obviously what Egers will be hoping to market with forward line combinations he has lifted from Siskins, his own club and Cambridge. We went‘for units that play together. There‘s no way you can study other teams in advance, so in practice what we‘re trying to stress is getting the puck out of our zone and moving it on the powerplay. Once the kids get the puck into the offensive zone, well, we told them they should know what to do with it then." And if one or two don‘t, they‘ve got plenty of others to show them how. Just like the Ranger Bs, a club whose play right now would make any coach smile. And does.
