Hockev: Mutual suDoort, improvement can result in a leaaue title
■ Continued from Page 9
However, with these players that is defi
nitely not the case.
“Both my goalies are real good about the
[playing time],” Ham said. “If one of them
is having a bad night and 1 elect to pull
him out, they’re real supportive of the
team and supportive of what choice I have
to make on goaltenders.
“Pulling a goalie from a game is really
tough. It's kind of hard on their ego, but
both Keith and Stuart have been really
good about that this year.”
Both players understand that on some
nights when one player is not at the top of
his game, the other might be better for the
job.
“It’s fine,” Barbato said about splitting
time with Robertson. “All my other teams
were like that, and I have no problem with
that whatsoever. There is no controversy.”
He was complimentary of Robertson’s
game.
“Stuart’s a great keeper,” he said. “He’s
got a good style, he’s really relaxed in prac
tice, and we joke around a lot.
“If he gets pulled in game, he’s way cool
with it, and if I get pulled in a game, I’m
way cool with it, and he goes in. Those
things happen all the time.”
Robertson had nothing but praise for
Barbato and also doesn’t have any problem
with sharing the duties.
“I love Keith; he’s a great guy,” he said.
“We’re both real friendly and try to help
each other out and support each other.
“We are real good about who gets the
start. Keith has been able to step up and do
a really good job when I’m gonna play, and
I think I’ve done the same for him.”
As far as the talent level is concerned,
Ham said the two are about equal.
“For the most part, Keith is my more ex
perienced goalie,” Ham said. “For the
quality of play, both goalies I think are
pretty much about equal.”
This is Barbato’s second year with the
team and Robertson’s first.
Before coming to Oregon, Barbato
played ice hockey in Northern California
since 1993, when he began playing. Before
that, he played three years of roller hockey
in Southern California.
He decided to come to Oregon to major
in journalism and said having a hockey
team was a bonus, but was not influential
in his decision.
“Mostly, it was the major,” Barbato said.
“I wanted to do journalism, and it is a
good school. It was nice to have hockey, so
I came and tried out for the team.”
Robertson took more of an indirect route
in joining the team. He grew up playing
hockey in Colorado, playing about six
years there before taking the last three and
a half years off, mostly for financial rea
sons, he said.
“I could not afford it,” he said. “I was
living on my own. That was the main rea
son, also I didn’t really have a team.”
He lived in Seattle for two and a half
years before moving to Eugene last year,
when he took a few classes at the Univer
sity.
He joined the team this season and said
it feels good to be playing the game again.
“Really, this is my first season back into
it after three and a half years, so I feel like
as far as my abilities go, I’ve got nowhere
to go but up,” he said. “I feel good when
I’m on the ice, but I feel shaky as far as
where I know I can be.”
As far as the team goes, both Barbato
and Robertson said it has played well so
far, but there is room to improve.
“We’re much better than last year,” Bar
bato said. “Last year we faced about 40 to
50 shots a game, and this year it is like 15
to 30, which is perfect.
“I’ve just got to start playing better here
and keep one or two more out of the net
per game, and we’ll start winning more
and more, I hope.”
Robertson echoed the sentiment.
“I think that if Keith and I both can get
some improvements going and our team
starts working better together, we’re defi
nitely going to win the Pac-8,” he said.
Winning the Pac-8 tournament and go
ing to nationals is a major goal of the team.
“The ultimate goal of the team right now
is to go to the ACHA [American Collegiate
Hockey Association] playoffs, to go to St.
Louis and play some of the best Club
teams in the nation,” Barbato said.
Barbato and Robertson will definitely do
whatever it takes to help the team accom
plish that goal.
No matter who is in front of the net.

For Thursday, Nov. 21, 1996
ARIES
(March 21 to April J9)
It’s a day of give ana take in your
dealings with those around you.
Don't let minor setbacks throw you
off, though. The evening finds you
happily ensconced in the bosom of
TAURUS
(April 20 to May 20)
Don’t let minor snags entangle
you. This could cause some delays in
business. Something that has been
on the back burner comes to the fore.
GEMINI
(May 21 to June 20)
If you’ve been dancing around a
certain romantic decision, now’s the
time to address it. Someone’s pa
tience is running thin. Evening hours
are best for discussing this.
CANCER
(June 21 to July 22)
You and your mate are unhappily
out of sync and a bitter argument is
likely to erupt. You can take steps to
avoid this by being more solicitous.
A business dream is realized.
LEO
(July 23 to Aug. 22)
Don’t be afraid of that new job
assignment. It can lead to much
success for the future. Friends are
trying to put you in the middle of
their quarrel.
VIRGO
(Aug. 23 to Sept. 22)
Early in the day, a quarrel about
money is possible. An assignment
awaits that is connected to a group
activity. Evening hours tempt you to
overindulge in holiday feasting.
LIBRA
(Sept. 23 to Oct. 22)
You seem to have all the answers,
which is beneficial. You're asked to
smooth out an aggravating work
decision. Evening hours are sheer
bliss in the romance department.
SCORPIO
(Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)
Someone ia spinning quite a tale of
potential riches and you’re buying
into it. It's best to exercise some
healthy skepticism. Mix-ups in com
munication mar your evening.
SAGITTARIUS
(Nov. 22 to Dec. 21)
You're content, but perhaps a bit
too complacent. Avoid falling into
this trap by taking more of an initia
tive on the job. A possible quarrel
with a loved one should be avoided at
the holiday table.
CAPRICORN
(Dec. 22 to Jan. 19)
Patience is the key to success on
the work front. You are at your self
expressive best and should take full
advantage of this. The accent for the
evening is on family.
AQUARIUS
(Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)
Your ambitions are soon to be re
alized. However, make sure you’re
on firm footing on the job. Be careful
not to spend too much on holiday
fripperies.
PISCES
(Feb. 19 to March 20)
You have an unfortunate tendency
to let little things upset you. A writ
ing or speaking project is on your
agenda in the near future. You excel
in th is area and should show off your
talents.
YOU BORN TODAY are one to
firmly grasp the proverbial bull by
the horns and go after what you
want. Single-minded in purpose, you
are a force to be reckoned with when
you're in pursuit of your goals. Un
fortunately, you have a tendency to
be a bit insensitive to those around
you when you're on a quest for suc
cess. Once you learn to temper your
ambition with a genuine compas
sion for people, you can soar to even
greater heights.
