lit HAIR October 1919 Sports Editor Gemini coach Tom Daley was known as a fighter in his playing days with the Raiders which only ended last season Other teams knew he strong competitor with winning altitude thai meant win at any coat This character and attitude he has carried over to his new position behind the bench The players ore on his learn to win hockey games something the Gems didn have or do last year While Daley and the Raiders were finishing tops in their league the Gems were already finishing last In the league before Christmas So when Daley took over the management and players knew what to expect Daley finished fifth in the league scoring his ma campaign He was respected in he league when he was on the ice because opponents knew hi would give per cent to get the puck and ensure his team Now he is doing the same thing with the younger players He is trying to Instill In them the same qualities hi set for himself Hard working and there to play hockey If the players don to play Daley he will go with only 10 hard working ones who do Ills Job as coach is to moth ate the players and get them going and wanting to win To Daley it Is not so much talent us it is hard work and detenni nation that will pay off come the playoffs he hopes to make The rookie coach says that he has to get them fighting mad That his been reflected in his examples of laic Twice now he has been ejected from gomes Once he walked off the bench between periods He says he is trying to motivate his team Get them up for the game and It should last all year He has that fighting spirit that sometimes en ales awkward situations for him He is vocal and sometimes it costs him and his team suspensions and game misconducts On another is new coach Steve who says he has to remain a constant on the bench He says he cm be a cheerleader and a coach at the same time He says leave the cheering to the fans Is a professional and so Is his team That is not to say that Daley approach unprofessional Quite the contrary Daley may have heard the colourful Don Cherry speak here In recent years Now there Is a professional who has taken his outgoing approach to hockey and transformed It the greatest assets his hockey teams have We It have Peter Sturgeon about that when he comes back to Toronto from playing for Cherry in Colorado says conches can I belike ex coach Leo Cahill whoalways and raved or else you re liable to end up like Billy Martin without a job is Joe will attest to that He runs the local end of the coaching clinics operated here each autumn Coaching a team takes more than knowing what an offside pass is or how lose up a box play when short handed It means handling people Individuals who ire human first and phyers second Take Phil for example A superstar of the National Hockey and a veteran of numerous seasons of play A professional Yet when It came to representing his country In a hockey series he showed that human quality All players try their best times When they gel on the ice they usually slip Into another world Esposito responded to arm chair coaches all over Canada in the Canada Russia series by lashing out emotionally after one particular losing game in Vancouver He told the whole world that the Canadian team were only human and doing the best they could under the circumstances He implied that the Russians were mechanical robots who were programmed to play hockey and lhats all That theory was proven wrong several years later when people got to know the Soviets They became almost warm cuddly bears The point is that men and women love to ploy sport for the sport of the game wheltcr hey are pros or amateurs As the saying goes it is not whether you win or lose but how you play the game To put too much pressure on tie players could be defeating the purpose of winning If that is the sole aim Winning teams over the years have combined discipline with an easy going manner in the dressing room Somct mes that is not true As was shown by Billy Martin York Yankees when clubhouse controversy sometimes prevails wins do lake place Internal struggles can ruin a team troubles that June resulted In the team literally flailing Its way through the early goings the season The team behind the bench can control tliclr players it would seem The result they are at bottom of the league and other teams in the ire ganging up on them we them by the Ontario Hockey Association This is all setting an example for the younf players the game of hockey who come out to play hockey because on Ice It is supposed to be more fun than on the street and safer too That debatable in view of the rowing number of youngsters who are teaming that fiphting and stick swinging are a part of the game in the rules and arc ways of winning Intimidation Is the word Some young payers opt out of the competitive leagues to play house league or real recreation il hockey everyone should go back to shinny Raiders winning just The Raiders continue to winning Sun day night they out another win Tins time it was against he chants It took overtime be fore they were able to head home from Dirndls with only their second set of points for the season However Steve remains optimistic Including the gome we won but lost Ihe points in a protest for using illegal pi we are three three A average Good for any sport The trouble Is since their first game they won 103 against in the protest the team has been having problems winning They haven t along the way they should Granted the league is different this year from last when the Raiders won it for a ship team that lias been together two months now and are well Into the short sea son they should be doing considerably How long does it take players to get to know each other FANS We owe it lo tile fans to phy soys Blundy If we don phy well the fans will away We ve run into some hot goal ten ding says the coach Cole Patterson and Sneddon arc all ex pros and we don have the same team ishstyear left said list year I d love to tike over this why I was enthused about taking it over To date I satisfied I riidn expect to win ke last year And they certainly Friday night In Collingwood they went down to defeat for the lime in two weeks lo the Shipbuilders J Once they ran into some good says At least as good as ours I elcr is rated by many as the class of Hie league between the pipes not getting enough work Its not that the tcim defense is so good but it just the schedule You cant only Monday then go out and play well I Quite the contrary to good defense is the case We really need to improve when we don 1 have control Wo re play better defense Indeed they do In the first period of the game against Collingwood they won the bit tic of goals two lo one Steve who has been playinfc and quite well of late got the first joal

The Shipbuilders took the second period four goals to one by Raider Gary Ford Ray Tonelh added the assist added two more in the third to round out a two gimc scoring spree over Georgetown goals to Obviously showing that the team needs work on defense This Is by no means the teim we are going to time We re always trying to improve inter mediate hockey you can tell You never know from tame to game who going to show up Sunday night there were only 14 Raiders dressed said That constitutes a problem when it comes winning Perhaps that why it took them 13 Into overtime win If they hate a full earn it makes it easier to win As professionals you might think team would be a little more responsible Jun coach Tom Dal a Raider himself last year has suspended one of his best phyers for missing a game without a good says he might der doing that himself Sunday got the first goal on a penalty shot Tim beat fe at the mirk while Chris Milne was off for tripping him Colin Gordon replied for the Raiders assisted at the mark The Raiders continued their itlack with Captain Ray Tonolli scoring from Mara and at 17 16 Thir nine seconds later Mike Wilson made it 1 aided by John and The Merchants
