‘The environment around here is changing. I see us moving to a more open way of problem-solving. In the past, evaluations were a part of a private puzzle.

Basketball classic a ‘hoot’ for players and fans By Cale M. Cowan Fans attending the OC AA all-star men’s classic basketball game Jan. 14 at Mohawk College were treated to fast-paced, good-natured and very entertaining basketball.
Trevor Thompson and Ed Janssen represented the Condors this year, and although both were surprised by the appointment, neither felt out of place among the formidable players on the court. ‘ ‘It was a total shock but I wasn’t worried about being out of place (on the court),” said Thompson.
Thompson appreciated
the
relaxed atmosphere of the game and felt the contest provided fans
with an entertaining night. ‘ ‘It was a lot of fun and real easygoing. There was a lot of freelancing and guys from Toronto were
doing alleyoops. It was a hoot,’ ’Thompson said. The prospect of playing against a teammate may have been unique to Thompson, but unfortunately Janssen was unable to finish the

Women’s action got under way at 6 p.m. and it was obvious from the opening minutes why these players were selected. All-star games are often scoffed at because fans don’t feel the competitors are putting out
a full effort. But both teams soon wiped out any negative preconceptions with some crisp passing and fast-breaking plays at both ends.

Centennial’s Joan Healey coached the Gold squad. Healey said this was the second year for the women’s all-star match and hopes it will become an annual event.
“I think it’s great for our league because it shows the calibre of our teams and it’s a fun social atmosphere,” she said. Healey wasn’t surprised by the intensity of the game. “They’re competitive people to begin with and when you put them together it’s going to be a competi-

The win was especially satisfying for Conestoga after their overtime loss to Erie in late November. The Condor coaches said their game plan was to shut down centre ice and stick to man-to-man coverage. Dan Young said Erie has a tendency to break out through the middle and felt his team did a fine
job of shutting them down. “It was a good effort by everybody,” he said. Condor forward Sean McQuigge found himself in a strange position against Erie. Young is a little short on defencemen and has been using
McQuigge to fill the void. As a result McQuigge has had to make some adjustments to his style of play. ‘
‘You have to stay back and take man,” he said. ‘‘I like to open the game up but now I’ve got to watch myself so I don’t get caught the
up.”
McQuigge said he still prefers playing forward but added, “It doesn’t matter as long as I’m having fun.” Rick Webster put Conestoga on the board with a power play effort at 7:53 of the first. Doug Mcintosh directed a hard slap shot at the net and Webster picked up the rebound and stuffed it home. Erie goaltender Mark Sacco played a strong first period as his

Condor defensive miscues. The Erie forward walked out in front alone and forced Davis to make an excellent pad save on a shot labelled for the comer.

minutes. Shortly after the Condors had killed the penalties. Rod McClure squared off with Rich Staychock in one of the better scraps of the
season. Erie’s Bill Gehen was tossed from the game when he tried to assist his teamate by jumping McClure. Although not the aggressor against Gehen, the Condor forward was assessed four game misconducts for fighting twice in the same stoppage of play. Gehen was given three game misconducts as third-man-in while Staychock received only minors for slashing and roughing.
