Heck, he'd just been hited and' his meteoric rise to the NHL had been without a stumbling block. From school teacher to small college 'coach, to junior hockey and onto the high minor there hadn't been a hitch. He was fast-tracked to the big league and being fired was the furthest thing from his mind. But then he'd never dealt with big time pros before and they live in a different world. ) His firskseason in the NHL was delayed by the lockout but that just gave him more time to prepare. Organization was to be his strong suit. A tireless worker, he spent countless hours préparing for practices, games and road trips. His young team was pressured by few expectations. he was hired to grow with them and if they made the playoffs this season it would be a bonus. His job was to mould the team for the years to come. But as the short season progressed the playoffs seemed within_their grasp and after 25 games the club was in second place, closing in on the leader and the coach was the toast of the town. Three weeks later, he's just toast. The problems began, as most do in pro sports, with losing. Not just a couple but a half dozen losses, then self doubt begat self- destruction and the streak reached seven and then the wheels came off the cart. After a particularly tough-to-take one-goal loss, a dressing room argument broke out. The captain, one of the few experienced NHL players on theeam, was lobbying for an assist he felt he'd been robbed of. Most of his team-mates were appalled. How could the captain be so selfish in the wake of a loss? They didn't care that he was entering-negotiations and wanted to be armed with every point he could get for a stab at contractual bliss in the neighbourhood of $1.8 million, When the coach got wind of the fracas he knew he had to take "control. The losing streak would never end if the players came apart as a team. He met with the captain and suggested it would be best if he gave up the C and made up with his mates. The discussion ended and the media descended. Unprepared for the questions that were coming, the coach intimated-he'd taken the 'C' away from his captain. The player said he'd given it up voluntarily and a feud within a feud become too public at the wrong' time and the general manager stepped in with a form of damage control all too common in today's hockey. After 34 games, the young coach was fired. He Created playoff hopes then lost his job because of it. He'll be back for another shot at another time and when he returns he'll be all the wiser. In so many ways, hockey is just a small.part of the NHL game. "Jim Hughson" is sponsored by YAMAHA (905) 986-4437 The young coach was devastated. He'd never been fired before. . name to the best all round defen- sive player in the Tween division. The Junior team won 5 straight games to take the gold in their division.
