10 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanvillc, Wednesday, October 16,1991 f By Brad Kelly Quantrill is on The Move Again It's probably a good thing that Paul Quantrill's dad, John, owns a car dealership in Port Hope. His son may be his next customer. For the third time since May, Quantrill has had to pack up his bags and travel to another zip code in the States. If he drove to each new city that he's lived in during the last six months, he would definitely be a prime candidate for a trade-in at his dad's dealership. dealership. His current address is in Wisconsin, where he is finishing up his degree in business management. After the first semester is completed in December, he plans on making another move, this time home to Port Hope. But that will only last until March. The U-Haul will then be packed up once more, for another move. This'time, it will be to the sunny south and the spring training camp of the Boston Red Sox. Quantrill, a pitcher in the Red Sox chain, started the year in 'AA' ball in New Britain. After posting a 2-1 record, he was promoted to the Red Sox 'AAA' affiliate in Pawtucket. He helped lead his team to the International League Eastern Division championship, finishing the season with a 10-7 mark. The playoffs were a different story. Columbus, the 'AAA' affiliate of the New York Yankees, swept Pawtucket in the opening round, 3- 0. "We couldn't seem to get on track," said the 22- year-old from his apartment in Wisconsin last Friday. Friday. Quantrill pitched the opening game of the series, series, but didn't stay around very long. "I lasted less than an inning," he said. "It was a rough outing." Within the last week, the Red Sox have made some changes within their organization. Most notably notably was the firing of coach Joe Morgan. His replacement replacement is Butch Hobson, who managed Quantrill in Pawtucket this past season. The appointment may work to Quantrill's advantage advantage as he seeks a spot on the big league roster. "All I can say is that it won't hurt. It can only help," said the former sixth round draft choice of the '89 draft. "It won't make .a lot of difference in spring training because they have to give the guys who have been in the organization for a while a good look. "If I go back to 'AAA' and do the job, Butch knows what my abilities are." And which team does he pick to win the World Series? Well, remember, Quantrill is a Canadian kid. Don't be surprised by his answer. "I don't even watch the games. There's no hockey on TV. We don't get Hockey Night in Canada down here, that's for sure." On a couple of occasions in this column, stories have appeared about my future-brother-in-law (aka Brent) and sis (aka Shawna). Well, as of Saturday afternoon, the 'future' was dropped, as they went ahead, as planned, with their wedding. We wish nothing but the best for them. May the future be theirs.

Bowmanvillc. My daughter has played hockey since 1981 and girls' hockey since 1983 with the United Counties Girls' Hockey Association. I have always always believed that girls and boys should have equal rights to play the sport of their choice but I also believe girls should play with girls and boys with boys. From 1983 to 1987, my daughter played out of Newcastle Newcastle Village and Baltimore, and in those years they were never treated any different from the boys' teams. They were equal. In 1987, Newcastle Village Junior girls had to fold for lack of girls but they gave the team to the middle of October October to try. Thus, my daughter came to the Bowmanvillc center. center. From the very beginning, I sensed a difference. I put it down to a new team and a new center (it was Bowmanvillc's second year with UCGHA.) The second year my daughter daughter played for Bowmanvillc, I was astounded to leam the BMHA executive was not aware of how well the girls' team performed. That season (1988-89), the junior team came first in the House League standing and won a tournament in Toronto. The girls were given given no recognition for these achievements from BMHA. I excused the executive that year, as I believed that they weren't informed. So I decided that to further help the girls, I might do some good if I attended the BMHA meetings. Much to my amazement, I discovered they weren't all that interested in their girls and, had little understanding understanding of how the girls' program program worked under the UCGHA UCGHA and OWHA guidelines. The girls do not have try-outs as it is a house league team and is run just like the boys' house league teams. UCGHA has a (all-star) Rep. program. I felt the BMHA had a very hard time understanding this concept. concept. I felt under constant pressure pressure to prove to them that the girls were worthy of their attention. attention. At the end of the season, season, I felt I had accomplished what I set out to do, keeping the BMHA informed and helping helping them to understand girls' hockey. Now the 90-91 season rolls around, the response from girls in the area was the best in years. It was exciting! We had enough girls for a junior team as well as two intermediate teams, and it was still September. September. Then the BMHA lowered the boom. The girls received one practice ice time for all the girls and one game time for the juniors and just one game time for the two intermediate teams which they would somehow have to share. But the BMHA did give two ice times to a new boys' team. Fortunately for girls, Newcastle Village opened their arms and ice for the junior girls and one of the intermediate teams, thus bailing bailing the BHMA out. Now this season arrives and the problems arise again. BMHA states the girls must have 13 players -to be able to get any ice. As of September 4, there were 11 players registered, registered, just two shy of the required required magical number. The coach and girls were busy on the phone and, as of September 24, three more girls signed on. This was all accomplished by the hard work of the coach and girls. The number was reached. Now, keep in mind the girls do not try-out. The week of September 24, the boys arc still trying to make the Toro teams. The girls already have more than the 13 players the BMHA requested. What a relief it was for everyone! Then the BMHA did it again and lowered the boom. The coach was handed the ice times and it was not the Monday and Tuesday times that were promised. Sorry, but the BMHA needed that ice time for their new third pccwcc team and the girls would have to make do with the left-overs. It was a real shocker! This has been very hard on the girls who want to play, on the coach who did everything asked of him, and on some of the parents who pul so much into making girls' hockey a reality reality in Bowmanvillc. What more do we have to do? Girls ARE just as important as boys. Thank you • Mrs. Sharon M.
