v-mn PAGE 16THE CANADIAN STATESMAN, SEPTEMBER 19,2001 Brian Legree I Staff Editor Ncgrccfa JurhamrcRion.com ! Get ready ! for the | wrath of I Grapes All's been quiet - at least as quiet as it can be - in Don Cherry's return to the coaching ranks. But it's only been one regular season game, a loss, natch, for Cherry's Mississauga IccDogs. Cherry, who should have negotiated negotiated some kind of revenue-sharing revenue-sharing deal with the OHL when he décident décident to come on down from Coach's Corner, is the biggest attraction attraction in the league. His debut on a Sudbury Saturday Saturday night drew a crowd of 5,269, as the Wolves topped the Dogs 5- 3. That's after attracting huge crowds in London and Owen Sound - for a couple of lousy exhibition exhibition games. "They have the biggest crowd they've had for an opening night in 30 years and (Sudbury coach and GM) Bert Templeton told one of our guys they made an extra $20,000, so I'm sure selling out the league, I'll tell ya," said Cherry, Cherry, who did sonic scouting at Sunday's Sunday's Oshawa-St. Michael's game. But in the end, it will be his incredible incredible popularity, not strictly wins or losses; which could ultimately ultimately contribute to his downfall. Hockey fans may be embracing the coaching return of the godfather godfather of Canadian hockey - but at the same time they're also.heaping incredible demands on him. Autograph seekers hound him at every turn and he accommodates accommodates a huge number of media requests. requests. Every time he steps inside an OHL rink, he'll be tugged this way, pulled that. Sign this, smile for that camera. When the 68-year-old Cherry announced he would coach the IceDogs, he, anticipated .axertain, ahem, reaction from junior hockey fans. But so far, he's been pleasantly pleasantly surprised by reaction around the league. "I'm having a good time, the only thing that surprises me is how people have accepted me - nobody boos. I'm still stunned, by it, I don't know how to cope with it," said Cherry. While he says he loves the kids, he is not-so-quietly trying to come to terms with the reality of coaching, coaching, as opposed to being a television television coach. For example, Cherry hates the OHL's fast faceoff rule and complains complains openly and loudly that the league's referees call too many penalties. This, after his IceDogs had the benefit of 10 power-play chances to six for Sudbury in their opener Saturday. He is also less-than-pleased that his best player, Patrick Jarrett, broke his leg while auditioning for Canada's under-18 team. Looking for more ammunition to get Cherry's blood pressure rising? rising? We haven't even mentioned he's coaching a team with one win in their past 53 games and only minimal improvement on the horizon, horizon, or lengthy bus rides to come in the deep of winter. It's early yet, but it's just a matter matter of time before we get the full wrath of Grapes.
