BMHA has new President Robinson Retires by Brad Kelly After stepping down as BMHA president, Paul Robinson Robinson remains modest about his accomplishments. During his two-year term, he never accepted all the credit for what transpired. transpired. He deflected most of it to the people who worked with him. And it's important, he stressed, that it be noted that the volunteers with the BMHA worked with him, not for him. There's a big difference. "Oh, I enjoyed it," he said of his tenure as president. "The biggest thing is that I was only as good as the people people who worked with me." Luckily for Robinson, he surrounded himself with a lot of good ' • V people. It T&fj was never Si more evi- % dent than w when the BMHA hosted one of the most successful Ontario Hockey Federation Midget Championships in April. People are still buzzing at the success of the three- day tournament. "The midget tournament was the highlight," recalled Robinson of the most vivid memory he has of his presidency. presidency. "The way it came off and the way everything fell into place. "A lot of people played a big role in helping put it together. together. There are all kinds of names who did a lot of work. "Over the three-day event, everything went so great. Unfortunately, some of the people who did the work weren't able to see it through. The only thing that didn't happen was the appearance of Bowmanville in the championship game." Robinson has been synonymous synonymous with hockey in Bowmanville for years. He was most visible as the coach of Bowmanville's entry entry in the Central Ontario Jr. C league. After his coaching career ended, he remained in hockey, but concentrated his efforts on the minor level. After a couple of years as a director with the BMHA, he inherited the presidency. His objectives, when he took over, were clear. "The two main objectives that I did accomplish were to get a better working arrangement arrangement with the BRHL, and try to amalgamate Newcastle, Orono and Bowmanville Bowmanville to one centre." Financially, the BMHA always stayed in the black. One of the biggest reasons for that, was the Christmas Classic hockey tournament. The sponsorship from Shickedanz Bros, that he helped to secure was a big boost to the BMHA's financial financial situation. As he looks to the future, he likes what he sees. Robinson Robinson feels that his successor successor as president, Paul Jack- man, is perfect for the job. And some of the changes the BMHA is undergoing are for the better. "If the BMHA can get into a 'AA' league, it will improve improve the calibre of hockey. In order for the kids to get recognized and the hockey to improve, they've got to jump to 'AA'." Though he won't carry a title any longer, his absence from the arenas may not last long. With a couple of coaching vacancies open, he hedged about his chances of coming out of retirement. But it's not a priority with him. Not yet, anyway.

Sport Thoughts by Brad Kelly Holidays -- the last until next summer rolls around -- started on a high note this past weekend. How couldn't they? Holidays usually do. It was the annual Newcastle Village Minor Hockey Hockey Co-ed 3-Pitch Tournament. To no one's surprise, each year the tournament attracts most of the same 16 teams. It's well-run, fun and a pleasure to be a part of. The volunteers, namely organizer, Jim Stacey, Stacey, do a tremendous job. This year was no different. We've entered the tournament for the past four years. Twelve of us, all friends, circle the date on our calendars religiously each year. The opportunity to get together and share a bundle bundle of laughs keeps us coming back. It's fun. We wouldn't miss it. No, we'd never miss it. Wish the same could be said for the fly balls and soft grounders. "How's your team, Brad? Have you got any good ball players?," asked the coach of the opposing team as we swapped line-ups prior to the start of the first frame of our very first tournament. "Look for yourself," I replied. Standing on the infield was the entire team, all with varying levels of athletic ability. They were nervously warming up, some of them using a glove for the first time in years. They were standing in a circle, about 10 feet apart, tossing our only ball to each other. Errors, both throwing and catching, were plentiful. Each year has produced many highlights. Thus far, we have a 'B 1 championship, a 'C championship and a 'D 1 runner-up title to our credit. credit. This weekend, we added a 'C' runner-up title. We sport an 8-8 record in those four years. Respectable. Respectable. Seven more wins than we probably expected. With some of the plays we make, you'll know why. Friday night brought the first laugh. It took three innings. Our sure-handed first baseman, Dale, snared a grounder just back of first base. In the ensuing race to beat the runner to the bag, he ran right out of his shoe. We wondered if Shoeless Joe Jackson earned his nickname in the same manner. The future brother-in-law - the "future" will be dropped if he and sis go through with that wedding thing in October - provided our next highlight. Again at first base, he fielded a weak grounder that had done a tightrope down the line and stayed fair. He scooped it up and awaited the approaching runner. She out-maneuvered him, and waltzed around his outstretched arm to arrive at first. The future brother-in-law often talks of his championship days as a defenceman with Bowmanville Bowmanville Toro hockey teams. We wonder, after getting deked the way he did, if he wasn't just a pylon. The only mommy on the team, Charlene, provided provided us with our biggest laugh. Trailing by a bunch in the 'C final, she had reached third base with two out late in the game. She was unaware that there were two out. As a fly ball was hit to the outfield, she tagged up and prepared to dash home as soon as the ball was caught. Noticing this, we rose on the bench to cheer her on as fast as her mommy legs would take her. She was safe. There was no question about it. The crowd in the bleachers shared in our laugh and it was up to the umpire to tell her (quietly, in order not to embarrass her) that the fly ball signified the final out. Her run didn't count. "Her heart is in the right place," the umpire said. The comment typifies what our team is all about. THE BEST ARCHERY SHOP.
