FOR ALL GOOD SPORTS
By Ross Haugh
A good •
start
The recently released report of the Ontario goilernment
inquiry into violence in amateur hockey has caused plenty
of controversy.
Most hockey men appear to agree generally with the
suggestions made by Toronto lawyer Bill McMurtry.
The main objectives put forth by the report-are to curb
fighting by the disqualification of players and to upgrade
the quality of minor hockey coaches and officials.
During the inquiry NHL president Clarence Campbell
stated fighting is a useful safety valve and its elimination
would lead to more offences. Campbell stated flatly the
NHL is capable of running its own show and the view of out-
siders will be disregarded.
One of the first to get into the act after the report was
released was Ontario Premier Bill Davis. Unlike many
other white paper reports which usually receive only token
acknowledgements, the province is apparently taking this
one seriously.
The premier said his first move would be to work with
existing organizations to bring about the major changes
suggested by McMurtry, especially disqualification for
fighting.
The government appears to be ready to act if it can't br-
ing about a slowing down of mayhem through the kind of
negotiations Davis suggested. This would be to form an On-
tario Hockey Council with the power necessary to get our
national sport back to where it belongs.
The province has already taken some steps to help the
situation. Financial aid for coaching and referees clinics
has already been increased from $30,000 to S90,000 per year.
The Ontario Hockey Association who has organized
these clinics with government help has two excellent men
to head the program. They are coaching clinic supervisor
Ron Smith and referee-in-chief Bob Nadin.
Both men are educators with extensive backgrounds in
hockey. Up to now their efforts have been hampered by the
lack of funds and now maybe this will change a bit.
Upgrading the quality of coaches along with efficient
officials working with a well defined set of rules seems to us
to be the best way to improve the game of hockey.
Some of the comments by McMurtry about coaches
seem to make a lot of sense. He said, "A coach can deter-
mine or influence a boy's self image, his relationship with
his peers, his attitude towards authority not to mention his
concept of sport and his ability to cope with success and
failure.
"A boy's hockey coach can have a more profound effect
on his development as a person and his sense of values than
many of his classroom teachers."
McMurtry questioned the basic philosophy of minor
hockey in our province. He suggested all hockey from the
smallest boys up is modelled after the NHL and insisted
that's a concept which should be forgotten.
It's very true that boys with any desire to play hockey
.watch the NHL games on television and the rough tactics
and fights are bound to be difficult to erase from their
minds.
One must face the fact that the NHL is show business
and is not necessarily setting the right example for boys
who should be playing for recreation, education and the
development of his hockey playing skills.
What is needed is a new code of rules for youngsters
and an educational program to make them possible. This
effort will need to be of a wide scope to include players,
coaches, referees, parents and spectators.
If McMurtry's report was accepted in its entirety,
hockey would become a sport in the true original Olympic
image and a game played for fun, an achievement by
sportsmen with improvement of skills, physical health and
fellowship as the main requirements.
Cut down injuries
In the same vein, a team of four Toronto doctors has
just completed a two year study of the problem of hockey
injuries. It also suggests some rule changes.
High on the priority list was the proposed elimination of
high sticking, one of the main reasons for injuries at the
hockey rink.
The survey confined to teams in the 15 to 21 years of age
bracket was a project of the Ontario Medical Association
with monies provided by Physicians Services Incorporated.
The four doctors received injury reports on 1,000 On-
tario teams for the last two seasons. This would include
about 20,000 players.
Of the 452 injuries recorded, about 40 percent were
caused by high sticks. The doctors urged high sticking
penalties be increased sharply, well beyond the customary
two minute sentence or occasional major.
They suggested referees be allowed to increase the high
sticking penalty to five minutes for the first infraction, 10
minutes for the second and a game misconduct for the
third.
Regarding stick injuries, the report said it is possible
modifications in the stick might reduce its potential as a
weapon. Such modifications might include padding of the
end and the elimination of shaving of the blade.
The report also singled out the boards and the small
spaces in the end zones behind the nets as contributing fac-
tors in hockey's injury toll,
It proposed shock-absorbing material be placed behind
the boards and the area between the goal and end boards be
enlarged.
The report continued, "The majority of these injuries
were produced by the high stick and the first recommenda-
tion of enforcing penalties for the high stick would reduce
the number of eye injuries. We feel improved eye protec-
tion is also necessary."
A good effort
The goodly number of baseball fans from this area were
pleased with the performance put out by Dashwood native
John Hayter at Labatt park in London Friday night.
Hayter was one of the main reasons the Stratford Kraven
Knits were able to edge the London Majors 6-5 to win the
semi-final playoff series.
John was responsible for Stratford's winning run as he
squeezed in a runner from third with a good bunt in the top
of the eighth,
He made an excellent' top on the last play of the game
going,fpt, to his right to stiag a ground ball and throw to se-
cond:,for a tot:de:Ala tottgrtitil*:fioidihg for the plate:
