The. making of ., a champ;
The ,,year 1970 would un-
doubtedly be called The Year
Of The Sports Book,. if this was
China and not Canada. The
number of excellent sports
books now on the Canadian
market. are- too numerous to
mention in, this space, how-
ever, one that is Worth noting
is written by Hugh Hood:Strehg-th
Down Centre.
This book is the Jean Beli-
veau Story - and what a story!
It lakes you into the dressing
room with Le _Gros' Bill and
• you become a part of•Beliveati''s
'life for 192 thrilling pages.
Author Hood takes you from
Beliveau's 'early days' on the
icy ponds in Victoriaville, Que- .
bec, to his present role as cap-
tain of the world champion
Montreal Canadiens. You're
told what it is like to play with
and against the brightest stars
in, the National Hockey League.
And, .a chapter which will
prove so helpful to .young play,
ere, is "When Beliveau himself
desCribes his own playing style.
Perhaps a perfect example
of what Jean Beliveau the man
means to the world of sport
comes during the prologue:
'*California in July - hot, •test-
ing weather. On the west coast
briefly for a working vacation,
Jean Beliveau pays an informal
visit to the, training camp of
the Los Angeles Rams of Cali-
▪ fornia State College in Fuller-'
ton,, where coach George Allen
ls putting 8.0 of the best foot-
ball'players in the world through
the rigors of pre-season train-'
ing.
"Coach Allen says, 'Jean , I
want •you to speak at the team
Meeting tonight. Just say some-
, thing about Ourself and the
Canadiens.'
"Jean is reluctant. 'These
fellows don't know'anithing about
me.'
•""k•. 'Jean,' says the coach,
know that the Canadiens have
won the Stanley Cup nine times
in the 16 years you have played
with them, and you have been
world champions four times in
the last five years. I'm trying
to instill 'championship' in the
minds of my players, and _it
will help me a great deal if my
team sees you and listens to any-
thing you can say about what's
needed to become a champion.'
, "Jean shrugs, 'How can I say
no?"
"The matter is decided. Af-
ter a rough eight hours of serious
work, the Rams assem'ble for
their meeting. 'They"re taking
things a little easier' now, away
from- the---ha-rsh contacts, of the
practice field, but 'when George
Allen appears at the front of the
room „there is perfect Silence and
concentrated attention, until the
coach's tacel breaks into a half-
smile. Then some of thoe players
at the .back of the roona whisper.
to each 'other, 'Know who that is
with him? That's Beliv eau.' Many
of them are hockey fans who have
seen Jean' play against the Kings
in the new Los Angeles Forum,
or around the NHL circuit y
"The coach has.i.seraething to
.say, and the whispeirs die' away.
'Everybody knows who is standing
beside me. All I'm. going to tell
you now is that Jean will be
starting his.17th season with the
Montreal Canadiens • in Sep-,
tember:r ' •
"There's a ripple of reaction
to this. Seventeen years of a
sport that's as rugged physically
as football.
4 " 'Seventeen years of being a
'champion and a member of, a
hockey dynasty,' says coach Al-
len. 'Jean's 3/ years old, but
you can be sure he hasn't lost"
any of:his championship drive.
It is my .priVil,ege to welcome
and introduce Jean Beliveau of
the Montreal Canadiens.'
"The Rams give their guest
.a standing ovation.
"Jean begins slowly. 'I hav-
en't much to say that you don't
already know.' He looks around
the room, a big map surrounded
by men as big or bigger. 'Just one
or two things maybe ...' And
he goes on to speak quietly for
a while, looking from face to
face. He, doesn't need to tell
the Rams he's a champion.
"This book is about the
things Jean didn't say about him-
self at that meeting - the gifts
and trials,' the, winning, the 20
years of experience • that have
formed Wan. It's about the mak-
ing of A champion."
