It‘s official: Uniac to head Siskins It‘s official, Terry Uniac is the head coach of the Waterloo Siskins. Pete Cudhea Chronicle Staff Uniac, a former asistant coach with the Stratford Cullitons who was signed as an assistant coach by the Siskins earlier this summer, will be replacing former coach Gerry Harrigan behind the Siskin bench for the upcoming Midwestern Junior B Hockey League season. l Harrigan, the veteran coach who led the Siskins to three Sutherland Cup champâ€" lonships, was named the head coach of the Owen Sound Platers Junior A Hockey Club of the Ontario Hockey League last month. For Uniac, it was a case of being in the right place at the right time.

Money raisedfrom the gate receipts will be turned over to the players to take back to their warâ€"torn city of Karloâ€" vac. Croatian soccer fans from hese guys really love the game the 40â€"yearâ€"old Uniac was the logical choice in replacing Harrigan. _ _ "I feel that he can motivate the players to play at their maximum potential and he‘s technically sound and knows his own strengths and weaknesses," Gingerich said of Uniac. Gingerich added that Uniac‘s enthuâ€" siam is high, which is a big plus considerâ€" ing what lies ahead this season. With only five veterns returning, Uniac will be facing a lot of pressure this season. Players expected to return include deâ€" fencemen Ryan Baird, Shawn Way, Dave Henry, centre Scott Stevens and goaltenâ€" der Mike Watson. One of the biggest losses for next season will be the departure of forward Neil Morgan who will be playing hockey in England. Centre Kevin Seguin will be trying out for the Guelph Junior A club, play senior fastball," Lynch said in reference to the financially strapped Deep inside, Lynch would love to see the cities of Waterloo and Kitchener rally behind the Twins, finacially as well as fan wise, but it‘s just not happening. He realizes that things are financially tight and business, which in the past would have openly supported senior fastball, are either on a tight budget or worse, closed. But the lack of finances aren‘t Lynches biggest woes, oh no, that would be too easy. Of his 16 ball players, four of them are recovering from an injury or illness, while another is away on a eight week training program for his newâ€"found job. while utility player Jamie Israel is hoping to become a police cadet and could be a parttime Siskin. _ S Siskins may also lose forwards Sheldon Gilchrist, Dean MacDonald and defenceâ€" man Mike Suska, all who will be trying out for the University of Waterloo Warâ€" riors. ‘"We were recruiting this past year thinking that we‘d have 10 to 12 players returning to the team. It looks like we‘re really going to have to finecomb our way through training camp." As for an assistant coach, Siskins were after former Elmira Sugar King coach Jeff Brick, but according to Gingerich, Brick is also eyeing the assistant coaching position at the Univeristy of Waterloo which became open with the departure of Jeff Ward to the OHL‘s Niagara Falls Thunder.
