"Our first four games are very important. If we fare well, whatâ€" ever faring well means, we‘ll accept the outcome. Even though we‘re 8â€"2â€"1, we have’ to be very ffad the second half of the rea4i t; tough and it‘s going to take its toll." But heading into this second half, Laurier‘s 4â€"2 win over Westâ€" ern Mustangs for the gold medal in the Guelph tourney is a real shot in the arm.

McKee is also concerned with the injury to defenceman Jeff Ballantyne. i Ballantyne, who has a history of knee trouble, hurt his knee in the final game of the tournament against Moncton and McKee, waiting for test results, isn‘t sure how long the blueliner will be out of action. lines took a lot 'o??&in’f?fm“; their scoring attack, but the remaining veterans are passing on the winning Laurier tradition onto the Mhfle:.ey According to Gowing, "sure ‘re expected to win and that‘s a good motivator."

"I have to admit that we played some flat hockey in the first two games of the Duracell tournament.

Having veteran players rising to the occasion will be the key IeleEent'in the continued success of the Warriors. McKaa ic Chronicle Staff Although the University of Waterloo Warriors are looking ahead towards the OUAA West Division playoffs, there‘s this strange feeling in the background from teams breathing down their necks as the second half of the university hockey season kicks into gear. The league is so tight, that according to Warrior coach Don McKee, if they were to have a letdown, they could plummet from first to fourth place "very quickly". Warriors, defending West Division and Ontario champions, lead their division with 10 wins and two losses and according to McKee, the first couple of games this month will be key encounters. Warriors will travel to McGill University this Saturday to face the Redmen followed by a Sunday afternoon game against the Concordia Stingers.
