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 Exeter Belles are regional champions KITCHENER - They may have had only eight skaters but the Exeter Optimists won the Ontario Ringette Western Re- gional Championship in Kitch- ener on Sunday.

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. Former world champion Leo Loucks den7on- strates a kick.
