Spring interment ~at OronoCemetery.__ Section Two A True HockeyMother By John Squirreily, Rudyard Kipling's comment that the female of the species is more deadiy than the maie is nowhere more observable than at minor hockey games in the Novice, Tyke and Atom age groups. The littie kids are happiiy racing up and down the ice, now and then tripping over the blue line, wbi e the True Hockey Mother is hur- ling insuits at the officiais and urgine their offspring to commit mayhem. AI bf this is done in a voice that ap- proaches the whine of a jet engine in shrillness, and sitting in front of a True Hockey Mother is to invite a ten per cent hearing loss. I had just settled down to watch my ten-year-old son's house league game when a banshee scream from directiy behind told me that a True Hockey Mother was there.. I wiggled my littie finger in my ear to belp it back to normal functioning and turned around to inspect the T.H.M. witb tbe Wagnerian lungs. What I saw was a sweet, angelîc, demure looking wo- man whose face, had it been wreatbed in a smile, would sureiy have melted the heart of a Devil. As it was, the, otbcrwise guileless blue eyes shot sparks and the soft F leasant mouth was set in a tirm, hard uine. "Madam," I inquîred inno- ýcentiyý, "was that realiy neces- "yo bet it was Buster, she snapped, "did you see wbat that littie fink tried to do to my kid? Say, whose side are you on, anyway?" " Weil, my son's team lis in blue," I said. "And mine's in red" she rasped menacingiy. "Oh," 1 said. I h'ad barely resumed watcbîng-the gaine when hier Vaikerian voice eut tbe air like a buzz saw, "Hadiev! Do vou hear you mohertalking to you9" Hde oldn't have missed bearing bier if be'd been out in the parking lot.,"If that littie jcrk tries that agaîn, Kili in!" The iast two words were a full octave hîgher than tbe rest of tbe order and my eardrums were sending an SOS to my brarn, They were telling me to cut and run belore I suff ered a permanent un p ament. AsI was siting uncasiiy in my seat tryîng to figure out a graclous way of getting out of earsbot of thîs soprano can- non, 1 noticcd one of my son's linemates being tripped by a player in a red weater. "That's the boy, Hadley," the T.M.H. whooped, "take the man, not tbe pck!", Her glee suddeny turned to outrage as the referee wbistied down tbe play and sent Hadley t0 the penalty box. "What are you, talking about, you -goat? He was pilaying the puck! Wbcre'd you learn tbcrules, r cf, in Russia? Hcy, ref, wheme'd you gel the striped -sbîrl? Kingston? Or the CNIB? You don't need a wbistle, you necd. a white cane! " A passing bot dog, pitched at the refere, left a colourful splotch of mustard in my bair. I lqoked around, askancc. "Was tbat your kid that took a dive," she demanded. "No," I said, "it wasn't, and I wouid appreciate il if your ain were a lit tic better afler this. Wbile I thînk mustard bas its uses, I don't consider it a good baîrdressing,"I f dabbcd gingerly at the patch with my handkerchief and bcaded for another seat on, the other side of the arena. Aftem the gaine, which we won, I met the T.H.M. in the lobby. "ISorry about that liftte bit of mustard there,'" sbe said. "I guess I sort of get womked up at hockey gaines." "Quite understandabie," I murmured, "tbink nothing of il," 1She looked at ber watcb. "My goodness," she ex- ciaimed, "look at the time! I'xy gttto get going.
