FIR #1 Chepstow Phone 366-2366 Fax 366-2733 Flag issue haunts WOAA by Jim Brown To wear the Canadian flag, or not to wear the Canadian flag? That is, the question facing the member minor hockey associations of the Western Ontario Athletic Association (WOAA). Ontario Minor Hockey As- sociation (OMHA) president Ken Russell, of Brampton, told the WOAA's annual minor hockey meeting last Monday that the On- tario Hockey Federation (OHF) has recommended that all representative, teams wear the Canadian flag patch. "The patch should be worn on the left shoulder, or over the right breast," said Russell. He noted that the OHF has given representative teams until Dec. 1 to get the patches put on their uniforms. Th patches can either be sewn on or silk .screened. Russell noted that the OHF told him that if a team or individual player on a team was not wearing a Canadian flag patch by the Dec. 1 deadline, they would not be allowed to play anymore hockey. The referees' association has questioned the issue, because it already has Canadian flags on its sweaters, so whyshould members have to wear these patches. Russell noted that at first, the OHF was going to insist on teams putting the flag patches on their uniforms for the start of the season. But after some complaints from associations in Northern Ontario as well as in the rest of the province, the OHF decided on the Dec. 1 deadline. Centres in Northern Ontario and in the OMHA were• hoping for a year's grace. In a strawpoll, taken by WOAA minor hockey chain Jack Twolan of Kincardine, the majority of minor hockey representatives were op- posed to having the patches on uniforms. . The individual as- sociations will have to let the WOAA office know by.. Oct. 5 whether or not they want the Canadian flag patches for their uniforms. "If we don't hear from you by Oct. 5, we'll assume you don't want them (patches)," he said. Twolan said the western Ontario association can get the patches for 30 cents a piece. . However, many associations within the WOAA said that being required to have the patches put on uniforms is a 'waste of money.' While some of the larger as- sociations, outside of the WOAA, are getting the patches silk-screened onto new uniforms, it was noted the majority of teams in the WOAA cannot afford to btly new ,uniforms on a regular basis. And, some of the smaller associations only have one set of sweaters for each representative team. Because of the current economic condition, a number of minor as- sociations wondered why they couldn't wait another year before being required to have the patches put on representative team jerseys. ' Russell said he would take the concerns back -to the OMHA, and the OHF, but he doubted if they would budge on the Dec 1 deadline. Some members were concemed about what would happen if the flag. patches become worn, tattered or ripped. Someone wondered if federal officials would be coming around to arenas to inspect the flag patches, and if they were too worn or tat- tered, would they charge people with defamation of the Canadian flag. Elmer McFadden, WOAA/OMHA liaison said it seems Canadians are only proud of their country when they are out of it. "Canadians are known the world over for being so conservative," he said. "We don't promote ourselves." "Russell noted that some as- sociations in larger centres in On- tario have approached their local Legions, and the Legions have paid for the flag patches. There were some people who felt that the fact that only the rep teams have to wear the flags is discriminatory. However, Twolan said if local league teams want to wear the flags, it would be their decision, but there was nothing preventing them from wearing the flags on their sweaters. Russell said if the WOAA decided it doesn't want the flags, it would have to go back to the OM - HA fora decision.
