Sports flashbacks: 1995
This week’s flashbacks are from February of 1995. Flyers finished second in league The Leamington Flyers’ 37-9-4 record was amazing this year, but still not good enough for first place in the Western Junior B League standings. They finished their season on Thursday with a 12-2 drubbing of the Windsor Bulldogs, but still finished second behind the Petrolia Jets, who sported a 39-8-2 record for the season. Kevin Pucovsky’s five asissts catapulted him into the Flyers scoring lead for the season. Rob Rosati and Tony Farias each scored hat tricks for the Flyers. Peewees lead series with Belle River The Southpoint Mike Pearce Blazers lead their OMHA playoff series with Belle River by 4-0 mark, after a 3-2 win in Wheatley on Saturday and an 8-5 win in Belle River on Sunday. In Saturday’s game, Rich Segedin, Jason Baclig and Troy Dutot scored the Southpoint goals, with Doug Biekx getting the win in goal. On Sunday, Baclig scored three, with two goals going to Dutot and Mike Williams. Guy Mulholland scored the single. Lions boast five all-stars The LDSS Lions have had five of their hockey players named to the Essex County All-Star team. Lions coach Mike Klym was also named coach of the year. Forwards Keith Bradley, Jason Cornies and David Cornies, along with defenceman Aaron Matthews and goaltender Greg Liebrock, have all been honoured for their play. Cougars win series over Kingsville The Cardinal Carter Cougars Boys’ Hockey Team ousted the Kingsville Cavaliers from playoff contention with a 4-2 victory in the third and final game of their best-of-three series on the weekend. Kingsville won the first game, with the Cougars taking game two. In game three, Cardinal Carter got a pair of goals from Marvin Kruis, while Kenny Paglione and Mike Cowan scored singles. Steve Avelar stood tall in the Cougar nets. The Cavs got goals from Brit Mataschulat and Jeff Miller. Seacliffe beats V.I. In the battle of the hotels, Seacliff defeated the Village Inn by a score of 8-4 in Leamington Men’s Senior Hockey play last week. Seacliffe was led by Rob Pursel, Randy Schiefer and JD Daniels, who each scored twice. Single goals went to Jim McRae and Ken Cobby. The V.I. countered with a pair from Dale Williams. Mike Klym and Space Howe scored the others. Kingsville Novices tie A’burg The Remax Realty Kingsville Novice Travel team hosted Amherstburg Saturday night and skated away with a 1-1 tie. Kings goaltender Mike Davis played well in the net and Chad Slade scored the lone goal to preserve the tie.
Leamington’s championship sign will be coming down soon, with plans to rebuild it near the canteen. Sun photo
Iconic baseball sign coming down LEAMINGTON — The iconic ‘wall of champions’ sign that has occupied the front corner of the Leamington Kinsmen Baseball complex for years, is coming down to make room for parking. The Municipality of Leamington recently notified Leamington District Minor Baseball that space was needed for skate park parking. Kevin Gale, LDMBA President, says the town will be removing the ex-
isting sign and the plan is to re-build a similar structure later this year. “When we looked at the sign, they (the town) didn’t think it would survive a move,” said Gale. “So they asked us to come up with a new sign idea.” The plan is to have aluminium plaques made to represent all of the past OBA champions and leave room for future champions. Gale says it’s undecided where the new sign DEL AVAILIVERY ABLE

a wall of champions inside the current canteen area,” he said.
