series, no matter of
what level or of what calibre,
always has the hyped up emo-
tion which makes it seem like
a life and death situation.
You have fans from the
supporting communities
screaming and chanting. You have nervous
coaches who feel winning is the only thing.
Few, if anyone, actually realize, just getting to
major accomplishment. But nobody really likes
best.
Last week, I read where a peewee coach was slapped with a
one-year suspension for pulling his players off the ice during
a playoff game.
I've coached hockey, and being a trainer, if several of my
players were lying in the dressing room with injuries so bad
they could not participate, I'd probably call off the game as
well.
The Ontario Minor Hockey Association is coming under a
lot of watchful eyes for the lack of enforcement in overly ag-
gressive series and they have an inability to look closer at
some of their obviously insensitive rules.
Scarborough Cedar Hills peewee coach Ron Lyons was los-
ing a game by 10 goals, he had one kid urinating blood and
another with back spasms and a sore neck.
Enough is enough he said to the seven bodies 'he tad left
and, with the -support of the players' parents, decided to all
off the game and as a result, forfeit the series.
The OMHA awarded the series to Peterbomugh whose
vice-president of minor hockey there, said the peewees from
(that city were not overly tough.
Five injuries the tflist lime -of the series, a kid urinating
Mood and another kvAtti an ttrjumd neck, that's not overly
rncwgh?
I shudder when I:think what style of hockey these young
men are going to play when they grow up andjere in midget
or juvenile hockey.
It's becoming quite apparent, the brand of hockey they play
in Eastern Ontario is much rougher than here in the South-
western portion of the province.
Example, Ennismore juveniles, Tamworth midgets and Pe-
terborough peewees and don't forget our friends from Dunn-
ville.
Last spring in the OMHA semi-finals, I saw.aphysical and
,overly aggressive midget tram from Tamwoith,tthis year they
didn't seem as rough but a lot of the players had graduated to
ttheir juvenile team.
When the next game of the Hensall-Fnnismore juvenile se-
ries is played in Lucan on Friday, I hope the OMHA has sev-
eral representatives there watching the game.
But what are they going to do about it, they've already made
a decision that makes Hensall look like the bad guy for lodg-
ing a complaint.
In Scarborough, Lyons and his son the assistant coach -rho
was also suspended, are obviously devoted and dedicated.
Ufa-ea'grameinspension•for tding-up•for Oheir cam and
perhaps stopping any further injuries;they have been banned.
from the sport for a year.
You can't blame Lyons if he decides never to be a hockey
coach again. I .certainly don't blame him!
The OMHA, it appears, is not clamping down on violence
in hockey. In fact they are punishing those who want to do
something about it.
Throughout the year, the OMHA constantly sends llitle re-
minders to local associations that fair play is the only way to
go and don't be so physical and teach your players how to
play safe. Crap...
Referees can only do so much, and their bands are tied
when it comes to making decisions involving OMHA rules
and regulations.
If the OMHA wants hockey volunteers .to clean up the
game, they better begin by cleaning up their awn act.
This summer the OMHA would be wise so like a breather
from fighting with other hockey groups in the province and
draw up a new set of guidelines that don't punish those who
are trying to make the game safe.
