STEDMANS King Street West assisting small business people. The ASE was started by two retired professional engin- eers, Wilson Abernethy, a former lieutenant colonel in the Canadian forces and Brigadier Colin Campbell, who has had a distinguished, engineering career. Since the inception of ASE in 1963, they have had associated with them a dozen or so retired senior executives who have held top management posi- tions in large firms and are financially independent. Over the years the ASE group has met usually twice a week on Tuesday and Thurs- day mornings to interview their clients at Suite 1203 at 67 Yonge Street, Toronto. The ASE program carries on without financial help from any government source. The small fees charged for repeat assistance to business people pays for the office space, light, heat, phone service, station- ery etc.., also expenses for travelling, when necessary, to inspect clients' places of business and give additional on-the-spot advice. Introduction Column 1. Canadians should have learned at least one thing from our four encounters with Russian and other European hockey teams. Unless there is a drastic change in our approach to the game we're not going.to be Number One much longer. Canada invented ice hockey and I suppose its understandable that we thought our professionals were the best in the world. European teams have en- joyed tremendous success against our best since the first series in 1972. A bunch of comparative newcomers have shown us, among other things, that you don't pass stiff exams without doing a lot of home work. And that, dear hockey player and fan is what this series is all about. Homework. Going back to hockeys prim- ary school (to which most of us never went) and learning the ABC's, the three R's or whatever else you call basic training. Because it's some- thing I ,never had. Oh, I learned enough about hockey to spend 8 years playing in the N.H.L., and several more coaching professional teams. But, it was not until after my professional career, when I started working with children that I discovered the real guts of the game, why many kids Associated Senior Execu- tives operates in Metro Toron- to and will give assistance to business people in cities and towns within a 75-mile radius of Toronto. They can be reached by phoning 364-7316. Ray Lister, current presi- dent of ASF, who lives in Georgetown-Milton area, sums up philosophy of the business aid organization this way: "The ASE acts, in many instances, like a sounding board for small businesses. The small businessman or the person thinking of starting a business, usually hasn't a soul to talk to, to try his or her ideas out on. A group of us will listen to bis plans or problems and give him our collective advice. Usually things are solved for the client in the first meeting and there is no charge. In the cases of them who do come back for more assistance we try to get them straightened away as quickly as possible. We want them to become self-reliant and we have no desire to make any money doing it." Do you need Help? skates are junk, why a hockey stick can be kids biggest handicap, why no youngster can be a good skater without learning balance. I had to learn by observa- tion, the simple mechanies of developing power in a skating stride. I tried to figure out why a kid stops thinking when he starts moving. Only then did I realize that most Canadian boys never had a hope of reaching the N.H.L., because of the haphazard way they broke into the game. So I began the meticulous inspec- tion of the boys skates, sticks, and protective equipment and over the years devised drills for teaching the basic skills. I wanted to create a learning experience that would be of value to all young hockey players, whether they had big league ambitions or not. Column 2. ,.I am convinced that Cana- dian Coaches, parents and even kids have put so much importance on the glory of winning that the necessities of fundamental training have been shoved into the bleach- ers. Just watch many parents and coaches at minor league games and you'll see what I mean.

Atom playoffs start on Saturday January 15th: when carrying or shooting the puck. The poor little tyke isn't ready for a shot on goal yet. He's not near ready to take part in a passing play. He should still be out in a mad scramble with kids of his own size and ability scrimmaging for the puck and having a ball, unhindered by rules and whistles. There is no better way to get the feel of those rigs on his feet and that piece of wood in his hands. He will get pushed, kicked, punched and maybe cut and he'll love every minute of it. There is lots of time to teach a boy game tactics when he reaches his teens. But, our priorities are topsy-turvy and it's time we straightened them out. To me hockey is still the greatest game in the world. But it requires more skill, co-ordination and dedication than many young men are prepared to give. It's no wonder a boy gets discouraged when he finds himself in a game that demands something he doesn't have-solid physical and mental preparation. The whole country was on the brink of despair during the 1972 Canada Russia Series, but we managed to pull that one out of the fire. Since then, we have learned that the Swedes and Czechs on any given night can be as good as we are. Still, I don't think we have learned that big lesson So far there has been little more than lip service paid to good basic training. This series will'fake a boy only as far as skating, using the stick properly and think- ing (knowing what to do with the body when he gets the puck). While this to me is the most important part of his training, it is still just the beginning. There's a wonder- ful game ahead. We have no choice now but to turn back to the fundamen- tals of the game. After we do, there will be thousands of kids lined up for their crack at a trin tn Mneonw Games as follows: Atom "A" Serieë, Saturday, Jan. 15th D.S.C. 11:30 a.m. Dennison Mfg vs. Larry's Sports.
