lub Junior Saturday Suzanne lost out to- Michelle ioj I Final Herald Photo by Colin From pubhshea reports this past week out of Ottawa and Toronto it appears the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association is content to play the role of bystander as the rift between the Ontario Hockey Association and the Ontario Minor Hockey Association swells to chasm like proportions Speaking from Ottawa President Murray was quoted as saying There is a feel ing in the CAHA that further fragmentation will not strengthen the organization What this means basically is that the CAHA is not willing to mediate the dispute between the and the OMHA and the ones who will suffer once again are the youngsters who simply want to get out on the ice and play hockey The CAHA oversees 12 branches of hockey in Canada three of which including the OHA are located Ontario The CAHA also represent the recognized voice of Canadian hockey as far as International hockey organizations are concern ed and this is where the youngsters affected by the OHA OMHA squabble will be hit hardest The OMHA joined forces with the Metropolitan Toronto Hockey Association to form the Central Canadian Hockey However the longestablished has been accorded by the for an area stret clung from Sault Ste Marie east to Gananoque and almost as far north as White River and jealously guards its hegemony The newly created CCHA wants to bypass the OHA and deal direct ly with the CAHA and therein lies the problem If the CAHA recognizes the breakaway group there is the possibility that similar splits could occur throughout the country using the Ontario scenario as precedent and causing the national body even more headaches However if the CAHA allows the status quo to remain in effect backing the OHA then approx imately 140 players ranging in age from to 19 will be directly af in a number of ways Personalities and egos are clashing in the increasingly bitter confrontation and verbal barbs much more than compromise appear to be earning the day OHA President Brent Ladds did not appear to have in mind when he was quoted in the Toronto Star as saving Those teams who are members of the OHA and have already planned international exchanges have no problems Those who choose not to become members cannot benefit In the Toronto Star story in reference to the CCHA it is reported that Ladds said teams the CCHA will not be allowedto play tournament or exhibition games against International Ice Hockey Federation teams in eluding teams from the United States nor will they be allowed to participate in the national midget championship or pee wee and ban tarn provincial playdowns This reporter was unable to con tact concerning the story Minor hockey season is just around the corner and no doubt parents who have shelledout big bucks and have a talented youngster who needs to play against elite competition in order to further develop his hockey skills are in a quandry Similarly hockey players in the age bracket where they are hoping to latch onto a hockey scholarship at an American university are likely wondering if their future prospects are going to be Zam bomed off the ice and down the Powderpuf f tourney Bj COLIN GIBSON Herald Sports Editor The Fairgrounds diamonds will be filled to overflowing day Saturday and Sunday as the Annual Georgetown Ladies Softball Tournament takes over centre stage locally Ap proximately 32 teams are entered in the threeday event with Georgetown teams challenging squads from Midland Milton Acton Erin Mississauga and The Georgetown Ladies Powderpuff League started with four teams years ago and has blossomed into a highly competitive team loop The tournament kickoff games Friday night all have starting times Blue Light meets Random Ladies Not Easy Being Green challenges BalHnafad J

scheduled to begin at pm All games will be played at the Fairgrounds drain Closer to home the Georgetown International Bantam Hockey Tournament might be forced to fold its tent and minor hockey filiations with the Georgetown Pontiac Buick Junior B Raiders and the Acton Tait Realty Junior C Sabres could become null and void If this happens this could threaten the existence of both clubs as area fans might think twice about going to a junior hockey game that features imports instead of homebrews on the local team The old cliche about Cutting off your nose to spite your face comes to mind here The problem here is that the surgery being performed by the so- called hockey experts in this pro vince amounts to nothing less than a beheading of the sport of minor hockey The Walt Disney classic about the Headless Horseman Icabod Crane was amusing to youngsters but not too many are going to go out of their way to view a headless corpse Then just think the adults runn ing hockey in the province can make up all kinds of organizations and hold all kinds of boardroom meetings and issue all kinds of an nouncements They 11 be the only ones paying attention however because there won t be any players
