It was not too long ago that the director of recreation in Scarborough hit the headlines by suggesting that organized hockey be banned for all boys of pee wee age or younger. This topic was the basis for the keynote address at this year's Ontario Minor Hockey Association annual meeting by Jack Christie who retired two years ago after serving 28 years as the group's secretary. We would like to pass on some of Christie's comments on the state of minor hockey and the pressures put on some of the younger players. "Our objectives in my early days were the same as yours today — to govern and promote organized hockey for boys — to encourage boys to play Canada's National Sport in order to keep them off the streets and out of trouble, and -- to develop good citizens through participation in sport. "During the thirteen years that I was your Secretary I sometimes asked myself the question: 'are We really working to achieve our objectives'? "To-day, I still ask myself that question, and I hope you will let it be in your own minds as you deliberate minor hockey's problems. "In his remarks the Scarborough director was supported by a few and castigated by many. "The fact that the suggestion was even made indicates there is a problem - or problems. "I don't agree with the solution he proposed. I don't think you do either. "You may not even agree that there is a problem. "I DO. "And because I do, I would like to pass along a few questions. "Questions that must be answered before the problem, or problems, can be solved. "Here they are: "Do we really believe that we are doing a good work if we strive to provide sport to keep kids off the streets? "of course we do. "BUT - when we participate in, or encourage the formation of leagues for ten year olds (or younger) are we really keeping kids off the streets who need to be kept off? "When we participate in, or help organize a league for eight year olds, or sevens or sixes, are we providing fun for kids that is more or better than they could make for themselves on their bikes ? - or playing all the street games you and I used to enjoy so much? "Is it true that Juveniles and maybe Midgets are quitting hockey because of other attractions? "or more specifically is it:- "(1) because they just will not get up at six a.m. for hockey? or "(2) because they find girls at midnight more attractive than hockey at dawn? or is it "(3) because they've been playing hockey since they were seven years old, and now, suddenly, they've had enough? "And isn't it just possible that we might increase our Juvenile and Midget registrations if the boys were older when they started? and — "if we could schedule THEIR games at a sensible hour? "and isn't it just as true that we CAN'T do that because we need the ice time to schedule atoms, mites and squirts, who really don't need to be kept off the streets — except by their parents. "and as a result, when we use prime-time ice hours for atoms or tykes, or mites or squirts, — "are we using ice time that could better be used to attract Juveniles back to the rinks rather than leave them hanging around street corners or pot-joints? "And finally — the basic question:- "are we ALL really trying to achieve our objectives?— all of us? "These, then, are the questions I have been asking myself. "I pass them along in the hope that you will seek the answers — because I know that if you do, you, as a group the finest minor hockey organization in the world, will come up with an answer that is "FOR THE GOOD OF THE BOYS". "A wide variety of solutions have been suggested. "Abolish organized hockey for all kids under 12. "That's pretty extreme. I might be coaxed to support the idea if it said 'under 10' but I doubt that it would get much popular support. "A less radical suggestion has been to abolish league standings in house leagues. This would eliminate coach's championship ambitions and the parental pressures so much complained about. "Still another is the proposal to ban scoring records and awards in the lower age categories. This has some merit, but would not solve our problems.. "Somewhere there is an answer — an answer that will enable us to decrease the emphasis on the NEED TO WIN; will "help us to lessen the pressures on the youngsters we claim to be working for; and maybe will "help us to stop wasting time on six year olds when it could more profitably be used to lure back to our rinks the age groups we need to revive - the Juveniles, and to some degree, the Midgets. OHA INT.

Bob Rowe opened the game scoring at 9.19 as he took a pass from Randy Preszcator and fired the puck into the Belmont net. Less than a minute later Ed Landon tied the score for the visitors on an unassisted effort.

In the second period, the Hawks shot into a 5-1 lead before Landon scored his second goal of the night with time running out. Larry Laye notched the first counter with the other going to Larry Haugh. Assists went to Ron Lindenfield and Jim Guenther. The only goal of the closing session came from the stock of Pete Glover with Peter Kleinstiver helping set up the play. The teams split in the penalty parade with each being fingered on a dozen occasions by referee Ray Richards of Stratford. Midway Fade After taking a 1-0 first period lead in Clinton, Sunday the Hawks faded and could only come up with one more goal, late in the third period as they bowed 3-2 to the Colts. Larry Haugh scored the only goal of the opening session on an unassisted effort at 14.14. . Jenkins scored for Clinton in the second period and Sty Mustard and Graham fired successful shots in the closing period before Randy Preszcator counted the second and final Hawks score late in the third. Dennis Ferguson was in goal for the Hawks, subbing for the ailing John Hayter and played a solid game, but his mates failed to score enough goals for a win. Come from behind In Lambeth, Wednesday, the Hawks were forced to come up with two third period scores to High scoring for novices The Exeter novice hockey club showed plenty of power in chalking up, a pair of convincing wins, by identical scores over the weekend. In regular Shamrock league play in Lucan Saturday afternoon, the local youngsters that are coached by Ron Bogart and Bob Pooley blanked Strathroy 8-0. Sunday afternoon on home ice they took on Hanover in an exhibition title and came away with another 8-0 victory. Against Strathroy Steve Wells in the Exeter nets picked up the shut-out, but it was sort of by acclamation as the opposition failed to get a shot on goal. On the offensive side of the ledger Paul Pooley was the star for the Exeter club. Paul scored three goals in each of the games to head the scoring attack. In the first period against Strathroy, Dave Bogart, Randy Parsons and Pooley were the Exeter goal getters. Eugene Clarke was the lone local marksman in the middle The third session saw Paul Pooley complete his hat trick performance while single goals were fired by brother Perry and Derek Regier. The high scoring Pooley youngster scored twice in the first period of the Hanover game while Brad Taylor notched a single goal. In the second period, Derek Regier and Perry Pooley scored for the winners while Paul Pooley, Randy Parsons and Dan Bell tired successful shots in the third period.

The Pee wees romped to an 8 - 1 victory while the bantams were winners by a score of 5.1, Brian Clarke and Robert Heard each scored two goals to head the Exeter pee wee scoring while single markers were notched by Morley Obre, Ken Pinder, Doug Regier and Howard Schenk. The Exeter scoring was well spread in the bantam contest with five youngsters sharing. Scoring in single fashion were Larry Seymour, Murray Parsons, Eugene Regier, Kevin Bestard and Brad Datars. The three Exeter clubs were in Dorchester Tuesday for the usual Shamrock tripleheader and came away with five out of a possible six points.

Other goals fired in single style were Murray Parsons, Steve Schroeder, Eugene Regier and John Wuerth.

Lucan took the pee wee contest by a score of 8-2, while Ilderton was victorious 3-1 in the bantam game and the two Combines get first victory The Zurich-Hensall Combines made their first start of the season in Western Ontario Athletic Association Intermediate "C" play a winning one by downing the Wingham Goodyears 9-5 at the Zurich arena, Tuesday night.

Assists on Rowe's successful shot went to Pete Glover and Larry Laye. Early in the third period, Bob Rowe picked up his second goal of the night to cut the Hawk deficit to a single goal. A three-way passing effort paved the way for the tying Exeter goal. Hustling Pete Glover finished off a triple combination with Steve Murley and Larry Haugh.
