In the third In a playoff series which most persons predicted Amesbury minor atoms would last two games against Downsview is now finished. Amesbury (Del Zotto) proved them wrong as they took it to a four game series before finally being eliminated from the North York playoffs. The final score in the game was 6â€"0 for Downsview but this was not indicative of the series as a whole. The first game was a 1â€"1 tie, the second a 4â€"2 win for Amesbury and the third a 32 win for Downsview.

A good hockey player can test his hockey playing ability without having to concern himself with this secondary factor, so important in ice hockey. Also this year, the league has expanded from six to eight teams with representation from Weston, Rexdale, Long Branch, North York, Mt. Dennis, Markland Woods and Etobicoke. 4 The league requires players to wear hockey gloves and a team uniform. Any further protection is left to the player‘s discretion. Goalies are permitted to wear any equipment that ice hockey goalies use. This includes pads, chest protector, gloves, facemask and goalstick. It is strongly urged that goalies wear adequate protective equipment because the ball travels at great speeds. Ordinary hockey sticks are used, with plastic blades also being permitted. Goalnets, line markings and such remain the same. The ball used was designed specifically for the TBHA. It is moulded of a special type of rubber that does not allow it to bounce. Since it doesn‘t bounce, pinpoint passing can be easilty perfected and ball control is simplified. This ball permits very hard, accurate wrist shots and powerful slapshots. Following the season‘s completion when the hockey wars are all over, a banquet is held and everyone has an apâ€" portunity to meet and enjoy each other‘s company without the strain of competition. Trophies are distributed to winning teams, and to individuals who gave outstanding perâ€" formances during the past year. It takes place around the end of September. The services of OHA referees who did such a marvelous job last season in keeping the games under control have been acquired again this year. As in any bodily contact sport such as hockey, there is bound to be the occasional fight. Needless to say the TBHA is no exception. In order to curtail unnecessary fighting, a fine system was inaugurated last year and proved quite effective. Players must pay from their own pockets for excess fighting and misconduct penalties. These fines must be settled before the player is allowed to participate in any future games. League president Bill Stevens and viceâ€"president George Butterwick, along with their executive have been preparing for this season since September. As a result of their hard work, it promises to be the best one yet. One of the most significant improvements has been the establishment of the public relations departments. This year the league will be covered by newspaper, radio and cable T.V. facilities. In the past, registration age was 18, years of age, but this year, due to the tremendous amount of interest shown, the executive committee has decided to lower the minimum age to 17. However, any boy 17 years of age must wear a protective helmet in accordance with the North York byâ€"law. The exhibition schedule starts in April with each team using these games to get themselves in shape and trim down their rosters to the required 15 players and two goalkeepers. Extra players may be drafted by other teams or trades can be made between teams prior to the trade dateline. _ Let us explain batlgockey as it is played in our league. Ball Hockey is simply the game of hockey played on a polished cement surface instead of ice. The league employs CAHA rules with a few changes made to compensate for the use of the ball instead of a puck and also to compensate for the fact players are running, which, as many found out, changes the game of hockey drastically. Most of you probably gave it up when you were older because you had less time to play, and besides, it was a ‘kid‘s game‘. We have news for you! The Toronto Ball Hockey Association TBHA, is entering its third year of operation at the Habitant Arena (Weston Road just south of Finch Ave.) Every Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday there is a doubleheader with the first game beginning at 7:30 p.m. The second game starts 8:45 p.m. During the course of the season each team plays a total of 21 games playing each other team a total of three times. The first four teams at the end of the season qualify for the playoffs which are the best of five. DO YOU REMEMBER the days when you would grab your hockey stick and head off to the street and play ball hockey? We are certain you can remember one famous move to score the winning goal, or that one particular bodycheck that you SPORTS TALK: Amesbury tried but lost!
