Hawerchuk Set Record In Montreal
An intense rivalry with Peterborough brought out the best in Oshawa players, but Dale Hawerchuk’s fondest memory involved a tournament in Montreal. “I was 10,1 think, and we received an invitation to go to Montreal,” said Hawerchuk, the 21-year-old captain of the Winnipeg Jets. “Now most of our trips were in and around Oshawa.

But that’s not always the case—just ask the Guelph Platers’ Mike Murray. Murray, a Sarnia native in his second season in the OHL, came to the Platers via the London Knights, in a three-way player deal late in January, which also involved an exchange of draft positions. Murray, 18, and rookie Rob Coutts, 17, switched places with Trevor Steinburg in the deal designed to make the Platers more competitive in their building program. Murray instantly became the Platers’ leading scorer and was still leading them after 16 games in…
