By ROSS HAUGH The final report of the •Canadian hockey review was released recently and it calls for an improved system of coaching. It suggests the basics of skating, passing, shooting and just plain fun must be brought back to minor hockey if the game is to remain. Canada's national, sport. In the coaching department the report calls for more emphasis on developing their ability to teach youngsters, The review which was ordered by the federal sports department was headed by Justice John Urie and cost about $200,000, The report proposed that hockey leagues for girls be'started by the Canadian Amateur Hockey Associa- tion, In the past any suggestions in this regard were quickly rejected. Suggestions were made that the game of hockey has become the preserve of boys from middle-class French and English homes. Poorer families cannot af- ford to outfit their sons and immigrant families have not( encouraged their sons to play. A former NHL player and coach Larry Regan said th6, main thrust of the study is for the teaching of skills to the younger players through better coaching and more practices: In that way, boys could see their skills improve as they get older, would enjoy the game more and be less inclined to give up. The call for more practices becomes more and more difficult with the steep increases in ice rentals throughout the country. Justice Urie said previous recommendations on steps to control violence have been generally accepted by the CAHA and president Murray Costello has taken a strong interest in the review. Larry Regan said the report was really full of proposed rule changes and some of them could be im- plemented by the fall. They will certainly give players, coaches, officials and fans plenty of conversation topics for the next cou- ple of months. The changes are designed to speed up the game and make it easier for referees to call the plays. Regan suggested the current 350 rules need to be simplified. Particularly for the younger age categories, the changes would include smaller ice surfaces and lighter pucks. The lesser weight pucks sounds like a good idea making it easier for the small fry to shoot. Next comes moving the goal nets out another five feet from the backboards. This would give 15 feet behind the goals and could certainly eliminate some of the jamming up that now occurs in that particular area. •The, centre red line would be used only for icing in- fradiOnt and long passes would be allowed 'up to the opposing blueline. The report suggests the elimination of faceoffs for infractions such as offside passes. Instead there would be a sort of soccer rule where the other team would take control of the puck without having it dropped by a linesman. We are not sure about this change. A number of questions pop up. How long does a team have to get the puck into play and how far can they move it before the opposition is allowed to start checking. In basketball and soccer in this offside or travell- ing type of infraction the ball is taken out of bounds. That would be very difficult in hockey. How about putting a door in the boards just outside the blueline and let the player'taking the puck out of bounds get a couple of feet head start. Rather ridiculous. what? Boom's camp • Don "Boom" Gravett who is well known for operating camps for boys and girls between the ages of eight and 15 has announced his 1980 camp. Boom was in the office this week to tell us he will be operating a camp in Goderich this year for the 19th consecutive time. It will be held at Camp Menesetung, located three miles north of Goderich on Highway 21. The property is owned by the United Church of Canada. The week of camping begins on Sunday, July 6 and concludes on Saturday July 12. In recent years a number of Exeter and area youngsters have attended the camp. Kelly Tiedeman and Ronalee Bogart of town are expected to par- ticipate as teachers and counsellors. Application forms are available from the South Huron Rec Centre, RSD Sports Den, Kelly Tiedeman or Ronalee Bogart. Jays still flying The Toronto Blue Jays continue to impress with their play in the early part of the American baseball league season. Despite two weekend losses, the Jays still hold down second place with 15 victories and 11 losses, only one game behind the front running New York Yankees. On the Thursday night broadcast from California we heard Tom Cheek tell of two phone calls that day to the Toronto office asking about World Series tickets. Tom continued, "Whoever you are out there, God Bless You." Otto Velez and Dave Stieb are two of the main reasons the Blue Jays have been so successful. Velez has eight home runs, tops in the league and Steib leads the Toronto pitchers with four victories. Ladies golf year gets underway The ladies division of the Exeter Golf and Country Club opened the 1980 season Tuesday with a pot luck dinner, After a few practice rounds on the course the ladies held a short meeting to elect a new slate of of- ficers. They are past president Dorothy Marks; president Fran Mickle, scorekeeper Lois Snell and secretary- treasurer Rena McLean. Draw prizes were won by Lois Snell, Sharon Steciuk and Gert Middleton. Catherine Patterson of South Huron District High School turned in an excellent performance in the recent Ontario Secondary Schools Athletic Association gym- nastic meet held in Hamilton. It was the best effort ever in provincial gymnastics by a SHDHS athlete. In the junior division of 28 competitiors, the local girl finished fifth on the beam and was 12th in floor exer- cises. Hully Gully Castrol rider Alan Logue from Hamilton, continued his winning ways May 4 at Hully Gully raceway. Logue on his Yamaha swept both motos and led the Castrol rider sweep for the second consecutive race. He was assisted by Dave Taff on his Hyde Cycle Honda and Rob Hodgson on the Yamaha Motor Canada YZ 250. It was Hodgson's first ride on the bigger bike and he has already served notice to the others to watch out!!!
