AMHA Changes made by the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association CAHA including no from the age level down and passed at their annual meeting in Edmonton last week have not been well re ceived by members of the Acton Minor Hockey Association The government is sticking their noses where it none of their damn business stated AMHA president Bruce Cargill Major changes were made as part of the CAHA newly adopted fiveyear program Besides banning bodychecking for players under the Association has made radical rule changes for players and under atom level For instance penalties such as elbowing crosschecking boarding slashing high sticking kneeing and unsportsmanlike conduct are now considered major with players ejected from the game and the team required to play two minutes short handed Any penalties incurred by a goaltendcr will result in a penalty shot taken by the player fouled or another player on the ice at the time of the infraction The total amount of penalty time will be served players will not be allowed to re turn to the ice if a goal is scored against their team The association is also looking at a way to implement new rules which would abandon use of blue lines to reduce stoppages in play If play did stop the puck would be turned over to the other team In house league hockey the centre red line will be eliminated and Icing will be called if a player shoots the puck from be hind his own blueline to the goallne at the other end without It being touched Two recommendations that weren t accepted by the CAHA were a ban on slap- shots and mandatory use of straight blade sticks However the association did approve of recommendations calling for smaller ice surfaces for young players lighter pucks and more frequent shift changes Roadrunners tie The Acton Roadrunners of the George town Industrial ball league downed Frea of the Acton Industrial ball league in an exhibition match Monday Joe Deforest hurled the winning game striking out batters He also drove in two runs and scored one himself Mark Williamson a new member of the team was signed up in time to bring home two more runs But the big hit of the game came from Rolf who smacked a home run In regular season play the battled Peel Police and together they bat tied the last Thursday under the I at Prospect Park The won Peel Police and the lie Coach Ron said although the Acton squad out hit Peel they t bring any one home despite an extra inning of play required in a tie situation Deforest again went the distance for the while Tom checked for nine innings on the Peel mound in the pitcher duel The Roadrunners meet Philip Publishing tonight Wednesday in Georgetown CAHA officials say the changes were made to promote development of skills and to give the kids a greater opportunity to skate Cargill said I have a feeling the govern men I is getting involved in minor hockey He is referring to the recent publication by the federal ministry of sport and recreation regarding violence in minor hockey and recommendations It made The CAHA has adopted variations of these recommendations Let the government stick to governing the country said I m not op posed to rule changes but I think he Ontario Minor Hockey Association and CAHA should be left alone to run things Now we II have people looking over our shoulders He said some of the rule changes such as for atoms and under is a good idea but other rules such as ejection from a game for elbowing were already adequately covered by the discretion of the referee Ken Paisley agreed with Cargill That the new rules for atoms Is getting a little ridiculous he sold An atom a 10- yearold Is Just out to play the game He know what the rules are Paisley said the new rules probably t make the game easier to referee The rules are there we enforce them to the best of our ability he stated He added he disagreed with ejecting a player from the game for a major penalty as well as making the team Bit for two minutes That just penalizing them twice he continued It s not fair Paisley said nine times out of the in fractions done on purpose so to eject a player from the game is too harsh Paisley did however agree with eliminating blue lines especially in house league hockey We approached house lea last year with this idea The novices and atoms a lot of whom never played hockey before don know the rules They re just chasing the puck We only called flagrant offsides I don know how it would work in an all star league though Paisley said he probably wouldn be in formed of he new rules until the referees clinic is held In the fall But the CAHA and OMHA make the rules he concluded We Just carry them out The has not been in formed of the changes by the CAHA either leaving many local coaches parents and hockey executives knowing little about the new rules Cargill said they would probably receive a complete list of the new rules at the OMHA contact meeting June The OHA had rejected the proposal of a ban on last season but any decision by the CAHA overrides their provincial counterparts The Metropolitan Toronto Hockey league however did ban body checking from atom down last season and had added minor this season The has no choice but to implement the new rules immediately according to Cargill Push and shove during Monday s lacrosse game The Rams defeated it 9 after a comeback attempt by failed The Rams will be again
