V I- Some thbughts _ on Minot . Hockey week by Dave Gerry Minor hockey week is here again and our eyes and can are filled with the slogan: Don't send your boy to the pine, take him. As far as this writer is concerned this old slogan should be I have been connected with minor hockey for five years (which is just a drop in the pond compared to some) from house league through North York to the MTHL this season. You get the same parents coming out with their boys game after game, through good weather and bad, and if they can't show up at the game they, are either on a night shift or else sick. All the pushing to get uninterested parents out is all in vain.and five years of personal observation bears this out. If any credit is to be handed out on this special week devoted to young players, it should be to the youngsters themselves, coaching staffs and sponsors of teams. My son and'l leave the house every Saturday morning at five a.m. for a peewee practice that Cardinal & Son hold at George Bell Arena. The team goes on the ice at 5:45 a.m. Now some of you will undoubtedly say to yourselves at that hour of' the morning he must be stupid, but the boy wants to play and is that so wrong. Most kids who play have the dream of making a big time and we know that that's all it is, a dream. . But is that so wrong? How many of us as kids had a dre m or idol and figured that someday we would islow in his footsteps? Most of us didn't attain that walk in the sun but did it do us any harm? I would say no. I have been personally involved with in- numerable men in coaching and managing capacities, through personal contact with my son's teams and through the offices of the Times. As yet I have not met one who has been paid for his work, except maybe a pass to the rinks. If the number of hours were added up in coaching the boys be it house league, NYHL or MTHL, it would probably astound you. Sponsors are taken for granted. You read that a team sponsored by Company X downed Company Y and let it go at that. How many have considered that if it were not for sponsors many leagues would not get off the ground? Never mind that talk of tax write-offs or all the free advertising for their sponsorship, the point is that if these, firms were not concerned enough, minor hockey at any calibre would simply not exist. Icing a team takes money and it must come from somewhere. r _ by Dave Gerry Malton Jets set West Gate Motors back 4.0 in tyke action as Amesbury Monday but West Gate bounced back to hold Bert Robinson to a b? draw at Keelesdale Wed- nesday. Gary Mascarin and Paul Winter notched singles. Del lotto Dynamos minor atoms, dumped Downsview 4-1 at North ( Toronto Saturday. Bob Abernethy picked up two goals_and John Contini and Tom Weir added singles. To finish, the same parents are going to come out to the games come hell or high water and all the publicity in the world is not going to change it. Most boys dream the impossible dream, coaches give freely of their time and take up their positions behind the bench and organizations in the business. community will still come across with the much needed financial help and this is what makes minor hockey go on. The minor hockey week slogan should shift away from its existing set-up and give. credit where credit is due - to all those behind the scenes and those in the forefront, like the players who keep it all going year after year. Del lotto ran into back-to- bacC"games with P & B Plumbing with the Dynamos coming out on the short end both times. The first was a .1 1 loss at Amesbury Monday. Joe Calder got the goal.
