This year there is a switch in that procedure, A hockey team from Europe is now in Canada getting ready for their own season, Schwenningen SERC, a member of.Division II of the West German professional hockey league has been conducting, its training camp since August 11 at the new Conestoga College. The team first became aware of the kitchener area facility through a meeting between West German coach Peter Ustorf and Holy Thompson of Guelph's Can-Am hockey school at the June NHL meetings in Montreal. Ustorf on a visit to the Centre was particularly im- pressed by the Olympic sized rink and by the weight training facilities. Other factors • influenced the decision to train in Kitchener as well. Half the team members are either Canadian or German-Canadian, including former Chicago Black Hawks Kirk Bowman and Bob Hoffmeyer. Also on the team are Helmut Bauer and Michael Stern from Kitchener. The club has been following a rigorous training schedule each day. It includes a hour in the weight room each morning followed by the same amount of time on exercise runs and three hours of action on the ice in the afternoon. A team meeting and chalk talk occupies another hour in the afternoon. After 'each day's session, the team boards a bus for the University of Guelph where they are billeted. The team will be leaving for Europe on Friday of this week. Their first exhibition game is slated for August 24 with the regular season getting underway on September 15. Based in a city of 70,000 on the edge of the Black Forest, the Schwenningen team has enjoyed great success the last two years. They were promoted from Division III two years ago. There are a total of four divisions in the West German league. In the season just completed they missed by a single point promotion to Division I where they would have been competing against- teams from West Ger- many's largest cities. The team has an enthusiastic following. Their 5,- 000 seat home arena is usually packed 'to overflowing. Considering that tickets sell for 15 marks (about $10) with standing room priced at 11 marks, the extent of the fans fervor can be appreciated. And even though the German team is thousands of kilometres from home for practices those fans are, not denied news of their heroes. Contact has been es- tablished between ham radio operators in Schwen- ningen and Guelph. Each night when the team returns to Guelph, Ustorf gives a complete report to the Guelph operator who then relays it to Ustorf's colleague in the West German city. The report is then forwarded to the local radio station where it serves as a basis for the daily report on the team's progress. Hockey here, too Hockey is not just confined to the Kitchener area at this time of year. There is lots of action in this area. The Huron Hockey School, one of the most popular of the many hockey coaching schools in existence is in its second last week for this year. Next week, about 30 members of National Hockey league teams will be at the Stephen township arena and the Huron Park complex. One of the hockey school officials told us a couple of weeks ago that the pros coming this year are not just draft picks, but, actually top notch young players needing some extra training and teaching; A new hockey league? While attending the Lucan Fair parade Saturday morning we ran into an old acquaintance from London. He was Hugh McLean, former NHL and Olympic referee, former Ontario Hockey Association president and frequent convener in the past few years at playoff games of the Exeter junior Hawks and the Lucan- Ilderton Jets. In talking about the Continental senior league and the folding of the three teams, namely the L-I Jets, London Kings and Preston Jesters, McLean said he thought it wouldn't be long before a new league springs up. He suggested a senior "B" grouping could be organized as early as the 1981-82 season with possible entries from Lucan-Ilderton, London, Dorchester and St. Marys, The Continental league will consist of seven teams this coming season with the addition of Dundas to take up some of the slack in losing the three other teams, Maybe winging again The Bird may be back in Detroit to stay. Mark, "The Bird" Fidrych made a comeback try at Tiger Stadium in Detroit Tuesday night and again Sunday and although defeated showed enough to rate a couple of more starts at least. Fidrych was the victim of some shoddy fielding in the second inning and Tuesday he didn't allow any runs after that until the eighth when he gave up the game Winning home run. The Bird is getting back again to some of the idiosyncrasies that made him such a drawing card before he ran into arm trouble. In his first game back, Fidrych was talking to the ball, manicuring the diamond and running over to con- gratulate a team-mate after making a good play. It's this type of enthusiasm that makes Fidrych standout from some ball players who appear to just be going through the motions and earning, big salaries besides. It's certainly good for the game of baseball. Without the antics of a Fidrych, major league baseball is drawing record crowds this year. While Fidrych was knocked-out of the box Sunday, he can take consolation from the fact that the rest of the Tiger staff hasn't fared any better during the past week. •
