talent for Canada 1983 team hat will play In Calgary Davidson was offered the position by farmer Hockey Ontario director and Olympic team head scout Ron Smith who called from Calgary about the

Junior hockey Davidson said When I played there weren t teams in fiorQi Bay Sault St Marie and Sudbury You could go to places like Kitchener and London In a night I can see why it takes so long for the players to get the plays down They have so little time to practise Davidson Is a Level coach and a Level 3 trainer 1 both as high as you can go He i played junior hockey with the Toronto Morlles

years Davidson also has experience inthescouting field As a student at Ryerson Davidson worked with the scouting crew of Toronto Maple Leafs The team had just imple mented a computer system and

should keep an eye on He said he has had to make some adjustments in bow he watches a game now Scouting has been tougher for me because I like watching hockey systems he said I find It sometimes a little boring in having to watch only three to five players After the first period I find myself saying I t see anything but by the third I ra amazed that I able to notice the amount of potential or lack of it a player may have The self employed printer said for those talented players deemed Olympic potential It takes a special type to commit himself this far ahead to the Olympic team It is extremely difficult for the player to pass up a potential National Hockey League contract and go to the Olympic program and risk an Injury Davidson said But it Is important to now because you can just
