WESTERN NEARS STRIKE
Stuart A. Thompson
EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
A deal between administration and
Western’s faculty union remains
elusive following a series of meet-
ings last week and an unscheduled
meeting on Saturday.
If progress isn’t made before the
strike deadline Wednesday at 12:01
a.m., the union representing 1,100
main campus faculty will go on
strike.
Both sides said Saturday’s
unscheduled meeting was a posi-
tive sign, despite failing to reach a
compromise.
“It says that the two sides are
obviously making some progress
and feel the need to continue the
talks,” said Helen Connell, vice-
president of communications and
public affairs for Western.
She said if a strike is called, West-
ern would notify students before
class on Wednesday through email,
on their website and through
accounts on Twitter and Facebook.
Western president Amit Chakma
sent an email last Sunday detailing
the situation with the UWO Faculty
Association. But he restated that
Western “does not negotiate in
public,” meaning they would not
release specific details about nego-
tiations. The University set up an
online FAQ last week as part of their
contingency plan for the strike.
Meanwhile, the union has
released six bargaining updates

We’re all worried about a UWO Fac-
ulty Association strike. But there’s
also a lot of disinformation flying
around. Hopefully some of these
answers to relatively common (but
previously unanswered) questions
will allay some of your fears.
Why did UWOFA vote to strike
if they’re saying they don’t
want to strike?
Well that’s pretty simple — if the
union bargaining team doesn’t have
the trump card of a strike in its hand
they’re going to be pretty powerless.
Instead of saying “we’ll strike if the
University doesn’t go along with our
demands” they’re reduced to “please
don’t do this or we’ll be upset.”

WESTERN’S DAILY STUDENT NEWSPAPER SINCE 1906
over the past eight days. After
months of updates about academ-
ic freedom and tenure, UWOFA
released a statement on Saturday
about salaries and Western’s finan-
cial state.
“UWO has the financial
resources to compensate faculty
fairly and equitably, if the adminis-
tration can be convinced to do so,”
the release read.
On Friday, the union received a
letter of support from the Canadi-
an Federation of Students. In the
letter, CFS president Sandy Hudson
demanded Western withdraw some
of its proposals, including a new
What are the financial con-
cerns for UWOFA?
Let me direct your attention to
the averted job action at the Univer-
sity of Toronto — whose faculty was
without a contract since July of 2008.
At UofT a mediator/arbitrator was
brought in to settle things. What did
the arbitrator decide? An increase of
2.25 per cent across the board for
two years. That’s binding arbitration
too — both parties have to abide by
the terms laid out.
So where does Western play into
this? After UofT released the details
of their bargaining agreement,
Western put forward a compensa-
tion package to UWOFA — a pack-
age which offered a pay increase of
zero per cent for the first two years
and half a per cent for the two years
after. Needless to say, the union was
not pleased.

committee that would review pro-
fessors.
“We feel that it is shameful to
seek to dismantle the academic
protections that have produced a
century of leading scholarship in
Canada,” Hudson said in the letter.
The new committee has been a
contentious focal point for the
union since it was proposed.
According to UWOFA, the proposed
University Review Committee
would be made up of senior mem-
bers of administration and would
evaluate professors according to a
performance “standard” set by
administration.
Why would Western give that
offer?
For that you’d have to look to the
provincial government’s call for a
public sector compensation
restraint, released during the sum-
mer. Dwight Duncan, the Minister
of Finance, expressed the govern-
ment’s wish that any collective
agreements put forward this year to
public sector employees include a
two–year freeze in net compensa-
tion. Though not legislated, it puts
Western in a bind as they’re not
supposed to be offering any
increased compenstation for the
next two years, although UWOFA
contends they were provided with
an exception.
Why hasn’t Western been say-
ing more? All I hear is UWOFA
talking.
audiences

Corey Stanford GAZETTE
“No other university in Canada
is subject to such regulations,”
UWOFA said of several proposals
tabled at negotiations.
Mike Tithecott, president of the
University Students’ Council, said
students can write letters and join
Facebook groups to express their
position on the strike.
“We’re not at the negotiating
table but students should feel free
to raise their voices to all parties
and let them know what the
impacts of a strike are,” he said.
“We’re the key stakeholders of the
university.”
Since the court of public opin-
ion in a university strike will likely
sway against whoever “caused”
the strike, both sides will do what-
ever they can to make it look like it
wasn’t their fault if the school gets
shut down.
So the union will go out of their
way to make Western look like
they’re forcing the strike, and West-
ern won’t say anything at all, since if
they do say something it might be
the catalyst for a strike to happen.
Is a strike going to happen?
You can tell a union is doing a
good job when a strike seems like a
certainty. To be honest, nobody
knows for sure what’s going to hap-
pen in the hours leading up to mid-
night. For all we know, the whole
thing could come down to the last
minute and a deal is hashed out.

I don’t blame you for not studying
for your upcoming midterm or for
booking a last-minute vacation.
Because at first glance, a faculty
strike seems inevitable.
The negotiations between West-
ern faculty and administration
appear down to the wire as
Wednesday’s 12:01 a.m. strike
deadline approaches.
While we all prepare for the
worst, we still don’t have a clue
what’s really being discussed at the
bargaining table — or even how well
the talks are going. And what we
think we know comes from two par-
ties with separate agendas who are
locked in closed-door negotiations.
To onlookers, this confusing sit-
uation seems destined to end with
cancelled classes and picket lines.
But don’t book a flight to Cuba
just yet — there’s more to the story
than you might think.
Talks between UWOFA and
administration have been ongoing
since May over a number of pro-
posed changes to their contract, the
contents of which are confidential.
Since we can’t see the document
outlining the issues being negotiat-
ed, we can only go by what UWOFA
and Western tell us.
UWOFA’s concerns, according to
their online strike FAQ for students,
are that Western administration has
proposed a number of changes that
would “seriously undermine acade-
mic freedom and job security and
impose centralized administrative
control over both teaching and
research.”
By contrast, administration — in

Graffiti depicts “Stop
Resisting” arrest
Some unusual graffiti was found on
the Social Science Building over the
weekend.
The drawing showed a hand
holding a cell phone with two fig-
ures resembling police officers with
nightsticks standing over another
individual.
The illustration appears to refer
to the arrest of a 22-year-old West-
ern student just over a year ago. A
video of the incident was posted on
YouTube and quickly captured
national media attention.
The 90-second video showed
campus and London police officers
punching, kicking, and hitting the
student with batons in an attempt
to arrest him.
Officers at the scene could be
heard avidly screaming the words
“stop resisting.”
“[This vandalism] may have been
done to in attempts to show support
[for the student],” said Michael Mics,
an officer with Western’s Campus
Community Police Services.
Mics said he was glad chalk was
used because it would make its
removal significantly easier and
would not pose any damage to the
building itself.

Alcohol most dangerous
substance: study
In with the crack, out with the alco-
hol. A new study reported alcohol’s
effects are more dangerous than
illegal drugs.
The study, published in the
medical journal Lancet, labelled
alcohol as more dangerous than
heroin, crack, and crystal metham-
phetamine.
When their effects on society
were considered in addition to the
effects on the individuals who used
the substances, alcohol scored high-
er on the study’s danger scale than
all of the other drugs considered.
Paul Whitehead, a sociology pro-
fessor at Western, acknowledged
that while more people might be
affected by the use of alcohol than
illegal drugs, the right approach to
the problem is not to alter policies
controlling illegal drugs.
“Public policy is complicated,”
Whitehead commented. “Drug
laws and alcohol laws are based on
a variety of things.”
Instead, he said efforts should
focus on reducing alcohol-related
damages, which would require lim-
iting the consumption of alcohol.

Lights not so bright on Strike > Analysis

Broughdale path Hard to find the issues

Cheryl Stone
NEWS EDITOR
Students living on Broughdale
Avenue may have a less frightful
walk home in the coming weeks.
The path connecting the Medway-
Sydenham Hall parking lot to
Broughdale Avenue has received a
mini-makeover in hopes it will be
safer for students.
“When I was talking to people,
that was the darkest area,” Mike
Tithecott, University Students’
Council president, explained. “It was
probably the most dangerous one.”
The area will feature improved
directed lighting from a light post at
the end of the Med-Syd parking lot
and brighter lighting from new LED
lights installed on the side of Med-
Syd. These will light the majority of
the path.
Improved fencing on the sides of
the path is also on the way.
“When someone is walking
through that pathway, they’ll feel
more secure with the fencing,”
Elgin Austen, director of Western’s
Campus Community Police Ser-
vices, said.
The brush along the path has
also been cut.
“When we were talking to
groups they said the very first thing
we should do is cut all the brush
because it looks like a hollow,”
Austen noted.
The area was not considered for
a blue emergency light because of
its proximity to buildings and the
prevalence of cell phones among
students, according to Austen. He
also mentioned costs were kept
down on the project because the
wiring for the lights were already
there.
“A blue light would be even bet-
ter, in case there is an emergency,”
Deana Sdao, a fourth-year media,
information and technoculture stu-
dent explained. She also noted
more patrols in the area would be
beneficial. She explained she took
the path on a regular basis after
dark and currently did not feel
comfortable walking it alone.
“It’s kind of dark, and you can’t
see where you’re going and you
can’t see if anyone’s there,” Sdao
said.
She noted she had heard stories
of students using drugs or drinking
on the path.
Tithecott explained clearing the
path was a community effort done
Corey Stanford GAZETTE
by several different parties. “We
were lucky because everybody
echoed that it was unsafe.”
He said the City of London had
to clear the brush and the fence had
to be improved by the landlords. He
also noted the University was sup-
portive of their plans.
Tithecott noted the next areas
for improvement were the paths
behind Elgin Hall.
The path leading to the Dorch-
ester Apartments was on land held
by the Thames Valley conservation
authority, and Tithecott did not
expect to see them install lighting.
“There’s only so much you can
do,” Austen explained, noting a bet-
ter-lit route was not far away. “You
want to encourage people to take
the more lighted path.”
beneath the bias
>> continued from pg.1
assured students that “tenure and
academic freedom are at the heart
of what it means to be a university
and these two central values are not
— and nor have they ever been —
up for negotiation.”
If you’re scratching your head
trying to figure out how those two
statements make sense, don’t
worry. That’s how this game works.
The full scope of the underlying
issues will only be discussed
between Western and UWOFA
behind closed doors. The public
only gets access to the equivalent of
press releases from both parties.
While UWOFA is aggressively
trying to rally support to gain bar-
gaining chips during negotiations,
administration is hoping to pacify
our concerns by claiming there’s
nothing to worry about.
With that being said, UWOFA
president James Compton assured
the union’s concerns are legitimate.
He disagreed with Chakma’s state-
ment that tenure and academic
freedom aren’t up for negotiation.
Tenure review, Compton said, is
one element of the proposed con-
tract that raised some eyebrows
among UWOFA members. “If tenure
is constantly being reviewed, it weak-
ens the tenure system,” he explained.
So while Chakma wasn’t lying
when he said tenure wasn’t up for
negotiation — since it’s clear West-
ern doesn’t intend to scrap the
tenure system — there are indeed
some real grievances held by West-
ern’s faculty. But buried beneath
both sides’ bias, it’s hard to know
what the real issues are — and we
can’t know for sure without seeing
the confidential contract proposals.
In the end, students are going to
remain in the dark. We won’t know
just how close we are to a strike
until one happens or not. And we
certainly won’t be hearing the
details of the negotiations.
What we do know is that there’s
lots of talk happening between
both sides. UWOFA and Western
had an additional unscheduled
negotiating session on Saturday.
They’ve also been in negotiations
all day, both yesterday and today.
And Compton has assured the talks
will go through the night if needed.
While lengthy negotiations may
seem like a bad thing, all this talk is
encouraging. “If you’re talking,
you’re working towards getting a
deal,” Compton said.
Even if negotiations do stretch on
to midnight tonight, it doesn’t make
a strike inevitable. Possible? Yes.
Likely? Perhaps. But to achieve what
the faculty wants, UWOFA needs to
hold strong to their position, which
means we probably won’t have con-
firmation of a strike until just after
that deadline at 12:01 a.m.
Even if a strike does occur, both
sides will feel pressure to avoid a
disaster like the 85-day strike at York
University in 2008. UWOFA and
administration have made it clear
neither side wants to go on strike —
let alone keep the picket lines up for
an extended period of time.
So I hope you’re still studying for
those midterms.

Western tops Top 40 spots

More Western grads on list than other schools
Monica Blaylock
NEWS EDITOR
As part of their annual rankings, the
Globe and Mail recently announced
Western produced more of Canada’s
Top 40 Under 40 recipients than any
other university in the world. The
news could shift the national and
international opinion of Western’s
quality of education.
“We observe with a keen interest
what happens when our students
leave us. We have anecdotal evi-
dence to show that our graduates
leave and take on large roles. A sig-
nificant number of our graduates
move on to leadership roles,” Amit
Chakma, Western president, said.
The Richard Ivey School of Busi-
ness is responsible for developing a
number of Top 40 recipients,
including 2009 winner Brian
Boulanger, who graduated from
Ivey in 1997, and Edward Hastings,
current executive MBA student. In
just shy of 30 years, Ivey has pro-
duced eight Top 40 Under 40 win-
ners — more than any other MBA
program in the country.
“We are extremely proud that
Ivey graduates consistently domi-
nate this distinctive list. It speaks to
the high calibre of our programs
and students and demonstrates our
strength in developing great lead-
ers,” said Kelly Cole, executive
director of advancement at the
Richard Ivey School of Business.
While a large number of West-
ern’s Top 40 Under 40 recipients are
Ivey graduates President Chakma
noted Western grads from all facul-
ties have achieved similar levels of
success.
“I suspect that a big part of Bay
Street is run by Western grads, but
students from other faculties have
made very significant contribu-
tions. Look at our journalism pro-
gram — we have graduated some
wonderful journalists that are now
in senior positions across the coun-
try,” Chakma said.

BrideZombie brings new elements to the undead genre

ARTS Project play makes use of monologues and dark humour
Tom Dodge
CONTRIBUTOR
Channel Surfing Productions
debuted BrideZombie last week as
part of its event, Double Play 2010:
Fright Night — an annual event
meant to showcase original plays
directed by local playwrights.
BrideZombie was particularly
fitting for Halloween weekend. The
play tells the story of a young man,
Derek, whose true love turns into a
zombie.
Derek is so in love that when his
bride is transformed into a zombie
during their wedding, he whisks her
away to his basement to try and
save her. He will stop at nothing to
return his bride to normal.
BrideZombie brings a lot of
unique elements to the zombie
genre while staying true to some
conventions. The idea of having an
intense love for a zombie is original,
as is the concept of “popping the
zombie,” or returning them to their
humanity by appealing to their
deep human emotions. These are
things you won’t often see in your
typical zombie horror flick.
Finally, the inclusion of a “zom-
bie monologue” allows the audi-
ence to be able to listen to the
thoughts of the bride-zombie as
she gruesomely describes her
desire to feed.
The characters were well played
and complimented each other.
Derek’s zany brother, Chad, was
pure hilarity, from his Ron Bur-
gundy inspired shirt to his wild mis-
sion to punch a hammerhead shark
in the face. Veronique was convinc-
ing as the zombie researcher who
attempts to stay professional while
falling hopelessly in love with Derek
because of his commitment to his
fiancé.
The problem with BrideZombie
is its conclusion. Since the whole
play is based on the premise of
Derek being so in love with his
fiancé that he can’t consider living
without her, it’s hard to believe he
could ever fall in love with
Veronique. However the bride-
zombie’s rampage and her human-
ization through one of mankind’s
most basic emotions — jealousy —
was quite enjoyable.
BrideZombie was hilarious from
start to finish. The dry wit and inno-
vation of the play is coupled well
with traditional zombie lore.

Spamalot wins over London audiences Health Tip

Starbucks Peppermint White

Emma Sampson Chocolate Mocha with Whipped
CONTRIBUTOR Cream (venti, 20 fl oz)

Spamalot left audience members in
stitches after its two-night stint at
the John Labatt Centre last Wednes-
day and Thursday.
Lovingly ripped off from the
movie Monty Python and the Holy
Grail, Spamalot tells a silly, pop cul-
ture-savvy version of King Arthur’s
adventures in Camelot.
With Arthur’s crew of knights
and coconut-banging aide Patsy
by his side, Arthur faces ridiculous
obstacles including, but not limit-
ed to, the shrubbery-loving
Knights of Ni and a giant killer
rabbit in his quest to find the Holy
Grail.
Recreated by resident director
BT McNicholl under the direction
of Mike Nichols, the performance
was hilarious and engaging.
Glenn Giron was charming as
the noble sidekick Patsy, stealing
the show during the song “All For
One” and Eric Idle’s classic “Always
Look on the Bright Side of Life.”
Other standout performances
included Steve McCoy as King
Arthur and Caroline Bowman, who
gave an amazing vocal perfor-
mance as The Lady of The Lake.
A musical about musicals, Spa-
malot isn’t afraid to poke fun at the
genre.
“The Song That Goes Like This”
spoofs Andrew Llyod Webber’s
melodramatic power ballads while
“You Won’t Succeed on Broadway”
— an outrageous musical number
in which Sir Robin The Not-So-
Brave tells Arthur that his show will
fail without a Jewish cast — paro-
dies Fiddler on the Roof.
Daring and funny, Spamalot
relies on its audience to be in on
the joke.
Several references to the televi-
sion series and movies, including
the musical’s title and the opening
number “Finland/Fisch Schlap-
ping Song,” might be lost on those
new to Python. However, with pop
culture references ranging from
Britney Spears and Cher to an apt
London Knights shout-out, the
musical offered something for
everyone.
Spamalot’s absurdity and wit
won over its London audience, gen-
erating laughter and applause from

If the caffeine buzz is what you’re

Jesica Hurst
CONTRIBUTOR
Director: Clint Eastwood
Starring: Matt Damon, Cécile De
France, Frankie McLaren and
George McLaren
Death is a difficult topic for some
people to talk about, and it
becomes that much more sensitive
when questions rise about the
afterlife.
In Clint Eastwood’s latest film
Hereafter, it’s easy to become
entranced by the plot and forget
how complicated these questions
can be.
Hereafter is based around three
characters troubled with mortality
in different ways. George Lonegan
(Matt Damon) is an American psy-
chic unwilling to use his gift
because it makes it impossible for
him to have a normal life. Marie
Lelay (Cécile De France) is a
famous French journalist and tele-
vision host who experiences a near
death tragedy that pushes her to
question the afterlife. Marcus
(Frankie and George McLaren) is a
young boy from London who loses
his best friend and needs clo-
sure. The characters live in different
locations around the world but
their paths become intertwined
around the topic of death.
Although Hereafter’s trailer gives
away much of the film’s plot, view-
ers will be surprised at the direction
Eastwood takes. Instead of focusing
on the afterlife, as expected in the
previews, Eastwood concentrates
on how death affects the people
who are still alive.
While at first glance Hereafter
may seem like a sci-fi flick, the
focus on life after death isn’t as
dominant as the characters’ lives
and stories, making it more of a
character drama. Though flashes of
the afterlife and special effects used
to re-create natural disasters have
the potential to seem over-the-top,
Eastwood balances the extravagant
scenes with realistic settings and
dialogue.
Hereafter definitely moves at a
much slower pace than your aver-
age Hollywood blockbuster, but
this allows time for the plot to
unravel and the characters to devel-
op. Audiences may find themselves
feeling anxious while waiting for
the movie to give answers, but the
built up suspense is worth it in the
end.
If you’re ready to open your
mind to new ideas on the big
screen, Hereafter is a must-see film
for 2010 — in fact, you may even
come out of the theatre with a new
perspective on life, death and the
afterlife.

CONTRIUBTOR
Looking for consecutive wins for
the first time this season, the West-
ern Mustangs women’s hockey
team took on the winless Waterloo
Warriors Sunday afternoon.
Even though it took an extra
period, the Mustangs emerged with
a hard-fought 6–5 victory.
The Mustangs started the game
with a spring in their step, but were
unable to convert on any of their
early scoring chances.
Halfway through the first period,
Waterloo found their legs, scoring
two quick goals. Luckily, the Mus-
tangs weren’t discouraged.
“One of the things we’ve strug-
gled with the first five games was
the first period and so we focused
on [that]. We got down, but we
never quit, we came back,” Mus-
tangs head coach Chris Higgins
said.
Western was able to regain their
composure when forward Carly
Rolph put them on the board. She
took a feed down low and fired a
quick wrist shot over the glove of
Waterloo goalie Martina Michaud.
Defenceman Meghan Hewins
would score late to tie the game
going into intermission.
As the players came out for the
second period, rookie goalie Olivia
Ross was on the bench, with veter-
an Jessica Ulrich taking her spot
between the pipes.
“[Ross] was a little nervous —
she was fighting the puck a little bit.
She told me she was fighting the
puck and I said fine, we’ll just put
the veteran in and settle everything
down,” Higgins said.
Higgins’ words proved to be
prophetic as the Mustangs relaxed
their play and eight minutes into the
period defenceman Sydney Kidd
beat the sprawled Michaud to give
her team their first lead of the game.
The teams would trade goals
before the period’s end, highlighted
by Kidd’s brilliant end-to-end rush
to bury her second of the game.
A hallmark of this season has
been the team’s defence contribut-
ing offensively and that night was
no different.
“We always say five play offence
and five play defence. Everyone
gets back hard and everyone goes
forward hard. You can’t win with
three forwards on offence and two
on defence, so everybody plays all
positions,” Higgins said.
Unfortunately, Western came
out in the third flat-footed, giving
the Warriors a 5–4 lead after they
scored two quick goals.
The Mustangs increased the
intensity to get back in the game,
piling shots on Waterloo, but
Michaud stood on her head to keep
their lead intact.
Waterloo coach and former
Canadian national team member
Geraldine Heaney praised Michaud
for her play.
“Our goalie really kept us in the
game, especially late in the third
when we were shorthanded. She
came up big when we needed her
to,” she said.
As the final minute of the period
wound down, with the Western goal
empty, forward Katie Dillon found
the puck on her stick after a mad
scramble and fired it home to tie
the game and send it to overtime.
Just seconds into the extra
frame, Waterloo was called for trip-
ping. Standout rookie defender
Michelle Saunders took advantage
as her point shot found the back of
the net.
As Higgins was eager to point
out, the team’s rookies played a
large part in the victory.
“We’re a young team […] we’re
all just getting better and better
each game,” he said.
The Mustangs followed the win
with a 3–1 loss against the Laurier
Golden Hawks. They return to
action on Friday against the Brock
Badgers.

Game Recap > Women’s Hockey

‘Stangs make strides
Daniel Da Silva
SPORTS EDITOR
Looking at the Ontario University
Athletics women’s hockey stand-
ings, it may shock some to see the
Windsor Lancers at the top. That
was after they defeated the vaunt-
ed Laurier Golden Hawks on Satur-
day in a huge upset.
But it shouldn’t surprise people
to see Windsor succeeding. Last
year, they were a young team but
were able to put it together by the
end of the season, making a big
playoff push, upsetting York and
making it to the OUA semifinal.
This season they’ve added a stellar
recruiting class with more experi-
enced players and it has clicked.
At the start of last season, not a
lot was expected of them as they
were kicking off their rebuilding
process. Kind of sounds like the
Mustangs women’s hockey team
now.
And that’s a good thing. After
years of mediocrity, it seems like
this team is finally going in the right
Corey Stanford Gazette direction. Granted, they are 3–4
STICK IMPALING IS NO LAUGHING MATTER. The Mustangs women’s team opened their weekend with a 6-5 overtime win now, but aside from the first period
against the Waterloo Warriors before they were defeated by the top-ranked Laurier Golden Hawks 3-1 on Sunday. in the first game, they’ve been com-
petitive all season long. Plus there
are a lot of encouraging signs.
First of all, they have quality
goaltending, which was the one fea-
ture that kept them in games
GAZETTE SPORTS: JOIN US. UCC 263 throughout the Paul Cook era. And
that trend will continue with young-
sters Olivia Ross and Alison Li.
But even more encouraging is
their offensive performance. They
are scoring nearly three goals a
game — a significant increase over
last season.
And the scoring has been spread
out over the entire team. Last sea-
son, forwards Ellie Seedhouse,
Chantal Morais and Katie Dillon
accounted for over half the team’s
goals. This season, almost every
player has a point, and 11 players
have contributed to the 20 total
goals.
Not to mention the top five
point–getters on the team are rook-
ies, three of which are defenceman,
basically proving coach Chris Hig-
gins was right when he said he
recruited a talented group of
women this offseason.
They have to focus on fixing
some of their defensive problems,
but for a team that is usually defen-
sively sound, this shouldn’t take too
long. As this team has stated
repeatedly, it takes time to build
chemistry when you’re adding 11
rookies to a team.
Sure, they aren’t ready to com-
pete for the OUA title against teams
like Laurier or other top teams, but
neither were the Lancers at the start
of last season. Maybe the Mustangs
will be able to put it together by
March and make a similar playoff
push. And perhaps we will be sit-
ting here at this time next season,
amazed to see the Mustangs at the
top of the league.

Mustangs roll over Warriors 8-1
Greg Colgan
CONTRIBUTOR
In the spirit of Halloween, the Mus-
tangs men’s hockey team truly ter-
rified the visiting Waterloo Warriors
Friday night.
After emerging with a 4–3 victo-
ry over the Warriors the weekend
before in Waterloo, Western wanted
to make sure this one wasn’t close.
From the moment the puck
dropped they came out strong with
an aggressive forecheck, pouncing
on early mistakes by Waterloo for
an impressive 8–1 rout of the visit-
ing team.
“The guys played a great game
and came out strong,” Mustangs
coach Clarke Singer said. “They’re
committed to doing all the little
things to win.”
Western earned the opening
goal only 90 seconds into the game
after Waterloo defenceman Aaron
Piotr Angiel GAZETTE Dileo’s pass from behind the net
took a bad bounce off the boards
and landed right in front. Caught by
surprise, Warriors goalie Keaton
Hartigan misplayed the puck, giv-
ing the wide open net to Keaton
Turkiewicz who scored the first of
his hat trick.
The Mustangs didn’t look back.
“It was definitely a bad break for
them,” Singer said. “Obviously we
took a lot of momentum from the
early goal.”
The Mustangs continued the
pressure when a speeding Kevin
Baker took a breakout pass from
Yashar Farmanara through the neu-
SERVICES tral zone. Baker avoided the War-

“We kept to our game, used our
speed, and just tried to create as
many chances as we could,” Baker
said after their win. “Fortunately we
got a couple early goals and we
were able to keep our foot on the
gas and we didn’t let them back in
the game.”
Down by three goals to start the
second, Waterloo hit the ice hard
SOPH
and tried to take advantage of an
early powerplay. But Mustangs
goalie Anthony Grieco was solid
between the pipes, brushing aside
several chances in his 31-save per-
formance.
“Anthony made some really big
saves for us tonight,” Singer said.
“Waterloo came out strong in the
second, but he kept us in there.”
With Greico solid in net, the
Mustangs forwards were able to
continue their aggressive play.
Halfway through the second, West-
ern sealed the victory with two
goals in as many minutes giving
them a 5–0 lead.
With the game clearly in West-
ern’s control, the Warriors’ frustra-
tion began to show. The two usual-
ly disciplined teams combined for
a total of 146 minutes in penalties,
including 11 10-minute miscon-
ducts.
“This is my third year and it’s
always been a rough game against
Waterloo,” Baker said. “I’m sure
that’ll continue next week.”
Penalties aside, the Mustangs
still managed to do the little things
right. They continued to forecheck
aggressively, block shots, and take
advantage of Waterloo mistakes,
which Singer hopes his team will
continue throughout the season.
“We’ve just got to keep working
hard and stick to our plan,” he said.
“Waterloo had a bit of an off night,
so we can’t let this get to our heads.”
By the end of the game Western
managed to outshoot Waterloo 36–
32.
“They played well and never let
up,” Waterloo assistant coach Jor-
dan Brenner said. “Western’s a good
team and you can’t expect to win
with so many mistakes. They capi-
talized on almost every chance we
gave them.”
The Mustangs travel to York to
take on the Lions on Thursday
before returning home for what
should a heated rematch against
Waterloo. The puck drops at 7:30
p.m. on Nov. 6 at Thompson Arena.
