Coach Bob Parsons kept an
eye on last Tuesday's game.
Ringette
Stephens will meet Otonbee in finals
By Fred Groves
T -A staff
HURON PARK - 1t was a
wild one. A game which saw the
excitement bubble over from in-
side the arena to outside in the
parking lot.
Playoff hockey came to a boil
last Tuesday night as the Ste-
phen Township bantams and
their fans hooped and hollered
as they now head to the Ontario
Minor Hockey Association ban-
tam 'E final series.
They beat Norwich 5-2 and
swept the series in a quick three
games.
Stephen will now take on
Otonbee Township which is lo-
cated south of Peterborough.
As of presstime game dates
and times had not been deter-
mined.
'They have the same problem
we do, their ice goes out on Sun-
day," Stephen coach Bob Par-
sons told the Times -Advocate
late Monday night.
What is known however is
that with the distance to travel, it
will be a weekend series.
"If we can't come to an agree-
ment the OMHA will have to
step in," said Parsons.
Wild finish
Tuesday the Norwich fans
shook the glass around the
boards and they made it quite
clear, outside in the parking lot,
they were not happy with the
fact their team lost 5-2 and were
in three games
eliminated
straight.
Bantam 'E'
The final few minutes of this
game took quite a while to play
as Stephen's Jeff Glover was on
the receiving end of a vicious el-
bow and Norwich's Jamie
Briggs attacked Jeremy Slater.
Although the visitors went
ahead 2-1, Stephen rallied back
and a couple of weird goals saw
them take the lead which they
did not give up.
A John Rutten shot hit the top
of the Norwich net, bounced
back onto the ice and captain
Jeff Glavin was there to put it in
to tie the score.
What proved to be the win-
ning goal came midway through

Kickboxing
Former world champion to put
on demonstrations in Exeter
By Fred Groves
T -A staff
LUCAN - It's not boxing and it's not karate.
Kickboxing is a combination of the 'two sports
and nearly ten years ago it was illegal in Ontario.
"The boxing promoters in Ontario felt threatened.
They were getting 400 or 500 out to a boxing event
and we were getting 7,000," said former world kick-
boxing champion Leo Loucks.
Loucks, now a Toronto police officer, was help-
ing out at the Lucan Karate School last Wednesday
night. This Saturday from 2-4 p.m. he'll be putting
on various demonstrations at Physiques in Exeter.
Kickboxing combines the punches of boxing and
the footwork of karate. Points arc scored like they
are in boxing, in other words when a punch is
scored, the fight continues.
"When you score a punch, that's when you go, not
stop," said Loucks a London native.
He is a black belt in karate and first started in
kickboxing back in the early 1980's. Loucks said in
karate as soon as a point is scored, the match stops
so the judges can award the point.
What hc noticed in the difference between karate
and kickboxing was that although he was a fairly
skilled and conditioned martial artist, when he
stepped into the ring as a kickboxer for the first
time, he wasn't in as good as shape as he thought he
was.
Loucks retired from kickboxing as soon as hc be-
came a police officer. However, he still does a regu-
lar training workout.
"I still train in Kitchener whenever I can make it.
My schedule is pretty hectic."
In Kitchener he trains with his ex -manager, Ron
Day who is the son of former Exeter police chief
Ted Day.
"I try to keep in shape. There's no way I'm in the
condition 1 was when I was a fighter, it's hard to
maintain that."
When asked if he misses being away from the
sport competitively, Loucks said, "oh yeah, but I'm
35 years old. Last year I took an exhibition fight
and I was going to take a real fight but my priorities
are different."
Three times the champ
Loucks first won the world title on February 2,
1986 when he beat Cliff Thomas of Texas.
The ban on kickboxing in Ontario had just been
lifted and the bout at the CNE in Toronto, was the
first legal fight in the province in over three years.
He successfully defended his title three times and
in February of 1988, Loucks retired.
Although he was not a big supporter in the push to
bring kickboxing hack to Ontario, he said legislative
changes allowed the sport to return.
The reason the boxing promoters wcrc ahlc lo
have it banned was because prior to the changes.
Loucks said there was no legislature which said you
could both kick and punch in the ring.
"It (kickboxing) would fall under something like a
prize fight which was illegal," said Loucks.
Demonstrations: When Loucks and local karate
senses Dan Bell visit Physiques on Saturday the
will do a heavy bag demonstration, kick pad demon-
stration, a self-defence course and a women's sell -
defence program.
