TREMBLAY WINS TOP JOB
Tuesday March 27th, 2001 12:00 NZT

For the second year running, Louis Tremblay will again lead the Rink Rats
into the heat of battle for the 2001 season, which starts Thursday week. In the annual pre-season meeting at Robbies Bar & Bistro - Barrington, a tied vote between Tremblay and Ernie Hayes lead to a private conversation between the two.

Both men were dead-heated with each receiving three votes for captain and five votes for assistant captain. Hayes commented that as the votes were even, the status from last season should remain with Tremblay as captain, Hayes and Ian Bell as assistants.

In reverting to standard IIHF rules, the team also decided to only have two assistants for the 2001 season, and as such no third person was voted to this position.

Results of the voting;
Louis Tremblay (3 cap / 5 asst. = 11 pts)
Ernie Hayes (3 cap / 5 asst. = 11 pts)
Ian Bell (1 cap / 4 asst. = 6 pts)
Ricard Parr (2 cap / 2 asst. = 6 pts)
Dwayne Bell (1 cap = 2 pts)
Adam Wheatley (2 asst. = 2 pts)
Matt Wheatley (1 asst. = 1 pt)
Stan Greene (1 asst. = 1 pt)
