it WAS our 'pleasUre to be la WALKERTON
on Sunday afternoon to •hear the pros and cons from
BILL DURNAN on the minor .hockey ,;etup through-
out Ontarioas far as the maRging and coaching
f team 8 Are colicenled:
Before we go any farther, we'd like to tip
the old chapeau to BOB SECORD of HANOVER and
NORMAN GREENWOOD of Durham, who were in
charge of the affair through the Lake Huron Zone
Recreation Council, for a job well done.
DURNAN, one-time member a the famed
MONTREAL CANADIEN regime and now coach of
the KITCHENER-WATERLOO DUTCHMEN of the
O.H.A. Senior ",A" league, feels that the whole source
of trouble in minor league players today is that
they are overcoached,
"Young players .up to the age of 12 years
should not be taught how to handle power plays etc:,
At this early 'age, the youngsters should be develop. -
Ing the fundamentals .of the game only, because the
rest of it is away over their heads," said Bill, "One
of the main reasons why the big time isn't getting
such individual or combination stars like it used to
is because of the pressure put on the kids at an
early age. Junior "A" hockey is disgusting! All the
players are interested in are brawls. One reason for
this • is that they're all coached more or less the
same way to play a hockey game instead of tletting
their personal talents develop thoroughly."
When you actually sit (Rim and think about
it, the hockey mastermind seems to be hitting the
nail right on the head. When this corner played
junior hockey along with "HEIDIE", "OBIE",
WHARNSBY, TRENDELL and a few of the others,
we were taught o drive the puck into the corner
and go in after it. Consequently the majority of the
stickhandling art is, lost. Of course every player
keeps .a certain amount of the skill but think of the
combinations which could be produced if' junior
coaches weren't so anxious to wrap up championships
every 'ear they iced a club. I'ni sure that many of
the players this column will reach will readily under-
stand what Dumanmeans.
DURNAN likes thc way the box system i used
by the NEW YORK RANGERS in killing of penalties.
In fact, he likes it so well he has his club using it
and feels it is o one of the main reasons 'why the
DUTCHIES are high in the league standings.
An old friend of ours, "HONEY" KUNTZ, ac-
companied Durnan and JOHN GOMAN, business
manager of the Dutchmen, to the CAPITOL'S home
rink to instruct anyone interested in becoming
referees. All of the WOAA whistle tooters
witnessed so far this year should have been 'on hand
to learn some of the game fundamentals. Of coUrse,
they 'weren't.
Howevet the overall picture of what the Lake
Huron Zone Recreation Council tried to do proved
very valuable to everyone in attendance. Next year
we hear that there may be three schools throughout
Western. Ontario in operation to give more coaches,
managers and referees a chance to attend to make
better prayers out the up-and-coming Canadian. youtlt.,

MOHAWKS GETTING AROUND — Business
manager BILL MUSSER of the tribe informs us that
he received a letter from an ardent hockey 'fan in
the city of QUEBEC by the name of GERRY HAZEL.
Here's what he wrote: "Being a fan of the Exeter
Mohawks and always glad of their success, I would
like to have a group picture of the team for the 1957-
58, season with a souvenir program. Last year I re-
ceived a copy of your souvenir program for which
I thank you. In the meantime, I requested a -group
picture of the '56-'57 tez.m. Will you please let one
know if it is not 'possible to get one of these pictures.
The name of Gerry Hazel is Greek to us but
we're sure tickled pink that the club has an onlooker
all the way from Quebec City. We understand that a
shot of the '56257 team is not available Gerry but
'55-'56 and '57-'58 pictures will be in the mail' some
time this season.

ANYONE FOR BROOMBALL? - Alvin Willert,
manager of the Exeter Arena, relayec a valuable
piece of information into our ear over the Bell in-
vention today that we think will be of real import-
ance to all broomball lovers. The arena manager has
called a meeting in the local ice palace for this Sun-
day afternoon at 1:30 p.m, for all.who are interested
in entering a team in the broomball league this
winter. Everyone is welcome ,and it is hoped that at
least six teams will be pounding the ball around in
'58. Reports have it that CENTRALIA, EXETER KINS-
MEN, DASHWOOD, ZURICH and of course the EX-
ETER MOHAWKS have all indicated that they will
produce teams, One definite starter is the MO -
HAWKS. They have rounded. out two exhibition wins
over JACK FULLER'S MERRY MAIDS and now are,.
waiting for GARY MIDDLETON to don his snow
shoes once again for a rock roll game. Oh yes, we
almost forgot to pass along the information to the
DASHWOOD crew that the MOHAWKS will be more
than delighted to is all of their gatres this year
under the lights providing they are all of broomball

Pots Four
Jack Merriam started the new
year out with a bang on Friday
night in Lucan as he fired four of
Clinton's six goals to pave the
way for a 6-4 victory over a
short-handed- Lucan Irish six.
The smooth - skating winger
dented the twine twice in the
opening period and came back to
haunt "Jake" Barnes in the
Lucan net with single markers
in each of the second and third.
Other Clinton marksmen were
centre Kenny Doig and left-
winger Bob Boyes. Gord Walters
was credited with assists on two
of Merriam's four goals.
Paul Baynham and Gary
Vowels sank first period tallies
for Lucan while playing coach
Bob White and defenceman Ray
Yelle blinked the light for the
Irish in the third period.
Lucan was without the services
of the three Revington brothers
and aggressive Don Fletcher,
while Clinton lacked Arbour on
their blneline brigade.
