Questionanswer to hockey merger WEEKEN EXTRA Fri September 3 Paget Were Herald baa prepared a on the proposal of Joining the mo minor hockey leagues in town meeting September will decide the fate of the merger Sport Editor Dave Rowney held a taped Interview with the new league chairman Dave Keatner It that would be used or publication Interview continued from Wednesdays paper The Herald Alter hockey completed its term wai there not a chance then for the two leagues to Chairman I think bolt types of hockey house handled by one musl remember Legion took place it took place rathi not under the best of circumstances so Ml suddenly parents of the children who were playing he various leveb of hockey in Georgetown found themselves with a possibility of a winter without hockey In Georgetown found themselves with a notice of that At that point In time the parents that did get together and ftld lei a form a minor hockey association were prepared only to handle the house league and that In itself was a monumental task to undertake from scratch Because they did that there was a group of parents who felt thai they would like to see the kids competing inlhe and so on so they split off and devoted their efforts that way We inadvertently ended wilhtwoorganiiaiions I don think It was a deliberate plan lo have them separate The Herald With the ice lime maybe you could explain briefly what the difference will mean lor the player If the league I Chairman It has to mean a more efficient use of ice time itself Dave Probably the quickest example that comes to mind the effort of Nick and Cord Stewart and their Ice committee They noticed in planning this year that there were separate blocks of lee on Saturday at the arena that were partially TriCounty partially house league ice By simply looking at it as one long period of Ice and adtutlirig each team a very very small amount of ice lime like five minute they came up with enough ice time to give one team a practice a week that did not exist in the put So already there more ice time being utilized than in the past The Herald Would yon agree that Ice time and player movement would be the two biggest benefit for the themselves Chairman Those are the two biggest direct benefits during the 3 season TbeJong range benefits are much more subtle Rather than moving the playera as much in control of when and where the players are assigned to start with Last season for example there was no reason why a Support Group coach would speed up bin cuts and it was actually an incentive not to so that be could keep the playera in his camp as long a possible If a player was going to be injured in the or pan out for him we wanted every opportunity to rind out Now he can be a little quicker with his cuts send the player down to the Tier teams and if there was a mistake made in evaluating the boy it would be the Tier coach a advantage to move that boy on up and gain the recognition of having the boy go on up and so on The Herald Do yon see any benefit far he coaches In both Chairman Anything that is helpful to coacbea or the executive helpful to the players indirectly or sometimes directly This will give both coaches an opportunity to nol maybe walk a mile but at least walk a few steps in the other fellow mocassins It is an old Indian saying that thou salt not Judge the other man til you ve walked a mile in his moccasins Already you can see the coaches being more considerate of each others needs and more understanding There Is consideration right now in the Support Croup they believe in an assistant coach and the prime suspects candidates are being taken out of minor hockey which I necessarily have happened last year Women active same as men The responses clearly indicate an increase in committment to physical ments of the population The study which Involved personal Inter views with people over the age of fifteen revealed that the number of women exercising regularly has Increased to the point
