Looking ahead
Here we go with the first issue of the new year.
We are going to take a quick look into our crystal
ball and make a few predictions of what the year of 1985
has in store for sports on the local, national and inter-
national scene.
Here we go with guesses on a variety of sports in
no particular semblance or order. Tongue nay be in
cheek for some of our suggestions.
The Toronto Maple Leafs will put together at least
one winning streak of two games before time runs out
on them in April and they fail to make the playoffs.
The Leafs will fire coach Dan Maloney before the
current season comes to an end.
Former Philadelphia Flyers coach Fred Shero who
is now a television commentator will return to the
coaching game. Shero after a serious illness which took
him down to 108 pounds is now back to about 164 and
could join a junior team. That's the only level of hockey
he had not had a winner in.
Wayne Gretzky will break his own scoring season
record of 212 points by averaging three points per game
throughout the full schedule.
At the moment he is at that level with 105 points in
35 games.
The Edmonton Oilers will repeat as Stanley Cup
champions.
The Chicago Cubs will continue as the only major
league baseball team without lights in their home park
at Wrigley Field.
Chicago Bears coach Mike Ditka will shave off his
moustache when his club wins the Super Bowl.
The Pittsburgh Steelers will win their first game
ever in Miami as they head for the January 20 Super
Bowl.
Chicago Bears star running back Walter Payton
will not have to worry about getting Social Security. He
is guaranteed $240,000 per year until he reaches the age
of 73.
Hamilton will defeat London as the two cities bid
for the 1991 pan Am Games.
Tennis star John McEnroe will receive the good
sportsmanship award of the year after apologizing to
the electric eye at a tournament.
The Detroit Red Wings will set all-time attendance
records for their 1984-85 season at Joe Louis arena.
Harold Ballard will trade King Clancy to the Min-
nesota North Stars for the playing rights to Albert.
Monday night televised football games for the 1985
season will begin at 8 p.m.
One of the final decisions to be made by retiring On-
tario Premier Bill Davis will be to locate the much talk-
ed about domed stadium across from the Woodbine race
track, near Malton.
The Exeter Mohawks will continue their winning
ways and win the Western Ontario Athletic Association
intermediate hockey championship.
Monte Clark, recently fired as coach of the Detroit
Lions in the NFL will stay out of football for the next
three years as he collect a good salary onhis existing
contract.
The same Clark will get a $25,000 bonus when the
Lions make the 1986 playoffs and $50,000 when the
Detroit club wins the 1987 Super Bowl.
Jack Kent Cooke dabbling in the game of
thoroughbred racing for the first time will have to wait
until 1988 to win his first Triple Crown.
More NHL referees will follow Andy Van }lelle-
mond in wearing helmets.
Don Cherry finally says something uncomplimen-
tary about the Boston Bruins.
Howie Meeker comes up with a couple of new
adjectives.
The Maple Leafs win a trophy. No, not the Stanley
Cup. It's the Molson's slo-pitch championship at
Niagara Falls.
The Vancouver Canucks get new uniforms
Former Leaf goalie Mike Palmateer will remain
by the phone at his new burger outlet waiting for a call
from Harold Ballard to return to the hockey wars.
Allison Gordon will be welcomed back as a reporter
of the Toronto Blue Jays.
In the same vein Harold Ballard will again close
Maple Leaf Gardens press box doors to Globe and Mail
reporters.

in their loop, the Hawks are
coming off four straight

ticularly when they enjoy the
home ice advantage.
