A new sportappears ready to roll
in Seaforth this summer, but
another looks on its last legs.
Roller hockey is shaping up as
reality soon for both young and old.
But ball hockey, a popular pursuit
by many on Thursday nights in
Seaforth for the last decade, may be
going the way of the hula -hoop
because nobody has stepped
forward to fdl the shoes of
secretary -treasurer Greg Core. He
resigned.
In-line skates are the fancy
modern version of roller skates, and
now a common pastime for many
town teenagers, many of whom
enjoy themselves zipping around
Seaforth streets and sidewalks.
Arena manager Graham Nesbiu
says forms are going to local
schools to determine what kind of
interest there is in forming an In -
Line Roller Hockey League, and
what kind of experience the
interested have. In-line ringette will
be offered if that's what the youths
want, or simply in-line skating if
enough interest is shown. Coaches
and referees are also required.
He says he hopes a four -team
hockey league can be formed and is
targeting two age groups, eight to
12 and 13 to 15 -years -old. It would
be in the same format as winter's
minor hockey house league with
three-minute shifts, 24 -minute
periods, lines handicapped
according to age and ability, and for
both boys and girls.
Full equipment will be required,
neck protectors optional, and an
official roller puck, the Same wt.•ght
as an ice hockey puck, will be used
rather than a tennis ball.
The arena manager hopes there
will be enough interest for a
practice clinic on April 26 with the
league getting underway early next
month.
Older teenagers, along with the
braver even more elderly, will have
a roller league of their own on
Wednesday nights. Four teams have
already confirmed for this Seaforth
Roller Hockey League, being
organized by Kevin McLlwain of
Egmondviile. It gets rolling April
26 from 8 to 10 p.m.
This might doom Thursday night
ball hockey which has been going
on in Seaforth since the early
1980s. The time slot is still
available and some interest has
been indicated by those who prefer
running around on concrete chasing
after a bright orange and hard
plastic ball to in-line skating, but
whether there is enough interest and
anybody is willing to organize it all
is questionable.
Some veterans of the loop say
they have retired and are planning
to concentrate on golf. At one time
in the mid-1980s the Seaforth Ball
Hockey League was a going
concern, with seven competitive
teams at its peak. Such well-known
local hockey people as Dave
McLlwain, Scott Driscoll, the

McClure, Jim Campbell. the
Devereauxs and Steve Mclnally at
one time or another all spent their
Thursday nights having fun in the
summer competing for top honours,
at best no broken bones and a
handshake from the losing team.
The league has been running with
four teams for the past several
seasons. Seaforth started the fust
ball hockey league in the area and
the sport later became very popular
in Stratford, Clinton, Hensall and
Mitchell.
Novices reach final
Seaforth's novices won their
first two hockey games but lost the
final 4-1 to the host Stratford
Selects at a novice house league
tournament in the Festival City
Saturday.
Seaforth advanced to the final
with a 16-0 win over Hespeler and
4-2 triumph over Guelph.
Ringette results
Seaforth teams won two finals
and lost another two at the Huron -
Perth Ringette Championships at
Goderich the first weekend of
April.
In the Junior A championship,
Seaforth stomped Stratford 16-9,
and the locals won the Tween C
title by edging Exeter 7-6.
In the Petite B final Goderich
topped Seaforth 9-5, and Mitchell
took the Novice B crown by edging
Seaforth 4-3 in overtime.
Parr Line finishes fourth
by JANET BUCHANAN
An athlete's dream to play at the
National level come true last week
for 20 players and their coaches.
The week began with round-robin
play against N.W.T. and Manitoba
on Wednesday. The North West
Territories had an excellent goalie
and kept them in most games and
was named first all star goalie after
the tournament but the girls were
up for that game and soundly
defeated them 3-0. Manitoba was a
different story as the team struggled
and lost 3-1 in O.T. MVP for the
games were Janice Finlayson and
Terry Church.
Thursday began with B.C. and a
3-0 victory in an excellent game.
Cheryl Kruse won the MVP game
honors. Thursday night saw the
local girls play the Alberta defend-
ing champions who had struggled
until this game when they defeated
Parr Line 2-1. Terry Church
(goaltender) was again selected as
MVP.

This left the girls, two wins and
two losses and in a must win situ-
ation to stay in the top two in the
pool. The Newfoundland team had
two wins along with Alberta, B.C.
and Parr Line. The girls needed
B.C. to beat N.W.T. and we needed
to beat Newfoundland to advance to
the medal round. The girls played
their best game of the tournament
and were victors to advance.
The game against Quebec for the
semi finals was a 6-0 loss to a far
superior team and the eventual
winners and was a lesson on how
the game is meant to be played. In
an excellent bronze medal game
against Manitoba the girls lost 1-0.
Although the team was disap-
pointed not be have won the bronze
medal it was an exciting time for
all. A well played' toumament and
certainly nothing to be ashamed of.
At closing ceremonies and ban-
quet on Saturday, night the team
MVP was Cheryl Kruse and two
players on the 2nd Canadian all
Star Team were Sue Anne Van
Miltenburg and Terry Church.
The Team would like to thank our
fans for making the trip to cheer us
on and our trainer Kathy O'Reilly
who kept the injured playing.
It was a experience to remember
and memories that will last a life
time.
