Sports SECTION 2 - PAGE 19- 1'LAlMIFM.jt\i |>. WEDNESDAY . JUNE 26.1W3 Area skater drafted by Canadiens By Mark Meyer Plalndraler Herald News Service For most young men, a perfect "10" would consist of an afternoon on the beach with visions of Bo Derek prancing across the sandy shore. But for West Dundee's Chad Ar­ thur, the perfect 10 came late last week in the form of a phone call from the Montreal Canadiens noti­ fying him that he had been chosen in the 10th round of the 1985 Na­ tional Hockey League draft. "My friend told me to expect a call on the day of the draft," Ar­ thur said Monday morning, "and it really didn't hit me until the phone rang. "THE MAN WHO HAD been scouting me (Neil Armstrong) said the Canadiens had picked me in the 10th round. "I was surprised, and happy, at the same time." The 18-year-old left wing, who graduated this spring from Elgin Academy, has accomplished something that most American- born hockey players only dream about. And to take it one step further, he has an opportunity to play a profes- Chad Arthur "THERE JUST ISN'T a whole lot of exposure," Arthur said when asked about the difference bet­ ween Chicagoland hockey and Canadien hockey. "There aren't too many scouts in the Chicago area. "Up there, it's the only game in town. The fans really support the team and they love their hockey." Indeed, Stratford turned out to be exactly what Arthur needed. "The level of competition is that much greater," said Arthur about 'You don't really expect something like that, but it was a great feeling when they called.' --West Dundee's Chad Arthur sional game dominated down through the years by highly-skilled athletes from Canada. "You think about it a lot," Ar­ thur said when asked about a career in the NHL, "but there are other things that come into the pic­ ture. "JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE drafted doesn't mean you have a ticket to the pros. "It only means they (scouts) have noticed you somewhere along the line, and that they're willing to wait for you to develop into hopefully a better player." Arthur's hockey travels Irave taken him across the United States and overseas, yet it was a recently completed 10-month stay in Strat­ ford, Ontario that made the dif­ ference in his young career. He decided, at the very last minute, that the only way of get­ ting noticed hockey-wise would be to pack his bags for Canada in hopes of landing a spot on a junior team. Needless to say, he did just that. Arthur completed a successful two-day tryout in Stratford and found himself a proud owner of a Junior B uniform. The rest took care of itself. the six-team Ontario Hockey League. "It's quicker and physical, but controlled physical. "You don't see too many guys gooning it up." WHAT ARTHUR DID SEE was a better brand of hockey, more so than what he had been accustomed to during his bantam and midget days with the Chicago Minor Hawks and Team Illinois. The end result? If everything goes according to schedule, a four- year stay at Bowling Green University (he hopes to major in either business or engineering) and a chance to develop and fine tune some of the skills he'll need when it comes time to go to camp in Montreal. "I was pleased just to get drafted," Arthur said. "It makes going away from home wor­ thwhile. \ "A career in the NHL? I don't know. It'd sure be nice... and Mor>- " treal would suit me fine." And who knows, maybe he'll get lucky and find a jersey with "10" and "Arthur" written across the back.
