Hawks first place lead dwindles Page ¢ Times-Advocate, January 11, 1971 FOR ALL GOOD SPORTS By Ross Haugh Good sports? In his column last week about the third annual Exeter mite hockey tournament, our editor talked about the poor sportsmanship displayed by coaches and fans toward the game officials. Due to an attempt to get a complete holiday we saw only one of the games in the popular mite tournament but can well remember the behaviour of some of the parents in the same tourney a year ago. In two particular instances it was mothers of the eight year old and under boys who used extremely profane language to the referees. We remember the referee in question just sort of laughing at the incident but as far as we are concerned it is far from funny. First of all, the parents should be setting an example for their youngsters. The referees in most cases are doing the job in the first place as a favour and receive no or very little remuneration for their work. We have been pondering for a long time the problem of what to do with fans who become a little over obnoxious at sporting events. In most games, rules are set up whereby the players and coaches can be penalized for ungentleman- ly conduct but there is no provision for the fans. Certainly if fans become too rowdy they can be evicted from a game by the management or police officers, but we are thinking of just the occasional outburst by a fan which in most instances is a father or mother of a participant. Maybe arrangements could be devised whereby a fan acting in bad taste could be blindfolded for 10 minutes until he or she settles down or forced to take several walks around the arena in the case of a hockey game and we would suggest long walks. While we admit officials are human and make mistakes, most try to do the best possible job they can. After all they are in charge of the game and their decisions regardless of criticism, must be adhered to. A lot of fans seem to think they can see the play in a hockey game just as well from the sidelines as the referees can Granted it is very easy to call the plays from the safety of the stands. The referees compare a bit with our politicians and the laws they make. We don't always agree with their decisions but they are set down in no uncertain terms and in most instances no amount of arguing will change them. When one thinks about this situation for awhile, it could be classed as an important part of our democratic way of life where people can grumble about affairs without being hauled off to jail. We have always contended that if the play of a hockey game could be governed just as well from the stands, that's where the referees would be stationed. They could also enjoy a hot dog and warm drink at the same time. At one time in this area. especially in the outdoor rinks goal judges were positioned behind each net right out on the ice. This was a very dangerous occupation not only from the rising shots which missed the net but from the dangers of a player disputing a call and having the goal judge so close at hand. A very necessary part of the make-up of an athlete is desire and the will to win and this at times causes hockey players in particular to get a little rambunctious. The same ingredients along with pride of their son's accomplishments is likely one of the reasons for parents to get upset at minor hockey games. But in these cases of uproars by parents, they are setting examples which young impressionable boys see. In the past two seasons, displays of tempers by National Hockey League players on television have become more infrequent as have fights. The rule which penalizes heavily a third man in a fight has slowed them considerably and this is certainly setting a good example for young hockey performers. Whenever talking about sportsmanship. we like to remember the words of Tory Gregg when he was sports director at CKNX Radio in Wingham many years ago. Tory closed his sports programs with, "You can always win if you can lose with a smile." In conjunction with this sportsmanship theme we received a communique this week from the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association regarding the upcoming Minor Hockey Week which is being observed from January 20 to 27. The Canadian Amateur Hockey Association Minor Hockey Committee suggests that every coach of a minor hockey team ask himself this question: "What AM I trying to do?" Am I trying to give kids a chance to play hockey? Am I working to keep kids off the street? Am I really interested in boys? Am I really trying to develop better citizens? Am I really teaching my boys the fundamentals of good sportsmanship? Am I giving every boy an equal chance to play hockey? Am I trying to see that the boys HAVE FUN playing hockey? OR Am I trying to win games to bolster my own ego? Do I say "I won eight games" or "My kids won eight games"? And then ask, "which is most important". We further suggest that the GOOD COACH, the coach who is sincerely interested in the welfare of boys, will try to make sure that every boy has fun: that they are reminded constantly that they are playing a game, and that play and game means having fun, Then add instruction in sportsmanship and good citizenship. When these lessons have been learned, the boys will be ready for further teaching of the fundamentals of hockey. Remember enjoying the game is more important than the Soon forgotten championships. Teach the fun-damentals. I TA Quiz Questions -- The all-time NHL leader in penalty minutes was also one of the game's top goal scorers with 379 in 17 seasons.
