HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Huron Expositor, 1995-03-22, Page 15Entertainment From preventing goals to setting them BY TIM CUMMING Expositor Editor A former National Hockey League star says he now regrets being too aggressive in pursuing lucrative contracts with his teams. "I should have been more loyal than I was," said Greg Millan, now a television personality and consul- tant with the Dallas Stars. "I would have stayed with one organization more instead of pushing them to the limit all the time." Millan, now 37, played with NHL teams in Pittsburgh, Hartford, St. Louis, Chicago and Detroit. The goaltender left hockey -playing about three years ago, after playing in 600 games over 14 years of professional hockey. One of his highlights was playing for Team Canada and ending up among the final four teams in the Stanley Cup playoffs. On March 17-19 Junior Farmers from Huron, Perth and Bruce Counties were among those who heard the motivational speaker tell them how to realize goals. If you want to reach a goal you must write it down as a contract with yourself, said Millan. "When you're setting your goals you want to set high goals," he said. Some of Millan's most interesting anecdotes are about `Mad Mike' Keenan, the controversial NHL coach who took the New York Rangers to the Stanley Cup cham- pionship last year. "He's very demanding, at times he crosses the barrier in terms of ethics and how to push people," said Millan. The diminutive former goaltender, however, says he learned a great deal from Keenan.

TIM CUMMING PWYFO GOALIE GREAT NOW MOTIVATIONAL SPEAKER - Greg Millan made a living making sure sharpshooting NHL players didn't score goals. Now he tells people about how to set goals and reach them. "Mike Keenan is the most suc- cessful coach because he pushes his players to a level they don't think Walton by Patty Banks 887-6860 Walton people dance up storm• at hall A lot of people around Walton celebrated St. Patrick's Day. by. dancing up a storm at the Old Time Dance at the Hall. Visiting with Mr. and Mrs. Robert Woods of Gananoque, in Seaforth recently were Mr. and Mrs. Bill Stephenson of Rexdale and Mr. and Mrs. Howard Hackwell, of Walton. "Once again fun was had by all at the 'Good old Walton Hall' with a housefull one more time!" People came from Arthur, Mitchell, Wingham, Varna, Lucknow, Belgrave, Kitchener, Listowel, and Seaforth. Murray and Olene Dennis and their grandson Adam were greeters at Duff's United Church on March 19. Heidi McClure and Darrell read the Lenten Liturgy and the third candle was extinguished. After prayers and the opening hymn Rev. Randy Banks announced that next week's Lenten Collection will be 10 cents for each disciple that can be named. Patty Banks has the music for Easter service and would like to invite anyone interested in singing in the choir to come out to practise Thursday, March 23 at 7 p.m. Next Sunday will be Muffin and coffee time after the service. Rev. Banks called the young worshippers to the front and Becky Brown helped him put the vines and stems onto the Lenten garden banner. i THIS FRIDAY, MARCH 24 DON'T MISS "RAY LYELL" Up close & Personnel Tickets: $5.00 Limited Seating for this show!

The maverick coach performed such zany acts, Millan recalls, as taking an entire team of NHL hockey players into a grocery store to inspect grocery store food labels (to see how much fat they con- tained). People must be willing to change, said Millan. The NHL has been changing from a league where individual goal - setting was stressed to one where team goals are paramount. Players now receive bonuses for the success of their team and not just individual statistics, he said. If the NHL doesn't change even more there will be another Tock -out in three years, Millan predicted. "Unless they decide to change and get into team building they're going nowhere," he said. Profit-sharing might be one of the concepts which will be considered. "Sooner or later owners and players are going to have to get into bed together." He told how in hockey the team concept is built-in because the players are always together in the locker room. After leaving hockey, Millan said he had to find the 'team concept' in new ways. H9�)))also discovered that in the 'real`wbrld' being competitive was not always the right answer. "In the NHL I got paid to com- pete every day," he said. "(After hockey) I had to get into cooper- ation rather than competition." Positive change in the farm corn- munity might involve more working together or sharing equipment and resources, suggested Millan. Milian was the guest speaker at the Annual March Conference of the Junior Farmers' Association of Ontario, held in Ottawa from March 17-19. He lives with his wife Ann and four children in the Peterborough area. Matzold high single, triple The smallest number (27) this year in Senior bowling turned out on March 17. Were they all away celebrating St. Patrick's Day? Eric Matzold was high bowler for the men with a 258 single and 645 triple. It was good to see Joyce Wallace back who had high single 203 for the ladies. Ann Wood with a 200 single and 524 triple helped the Canadians obtain seven points, the only team to win all three games.
