The Canadian Olympic hockey team have nothing to be ashamed of following their fourth -place finish at Sarajevo, Yugoslavia. A bronze medal would have been terrific but fourth place will do just fine for a team that wasn't expected to make the medal round. While the team sparkled defensively throughout the tournament, a lack of offense destroyed them in the medal round. Team Canada failed to score a goal in their final three games. As the old saying goes, "You gotta score goals -to win games." Goaltender-Gosselin --perhaps -----Canada's-- nost -valuable.--playee, _. ._ t e �` :biggest: a.easti _ far_ -the. team's excellent defensive record during tl"ie Olympics: Gosselin yielded only 10 goals in three medal round games.. I thought if Canada would defeat any. of the top teams, it would have been Sweden. .. Statistics indicate they should have defeated them. In comparing Canada vs. Russia' and Sweden vs. Russia, the-difference..is. very visible. Canada lost only 4-0 to the gold- medal Soviets, while• the Swedes were slammed 10-1. Conceivably, Canada should have handled Sweden. Canada appeared nervous throughout the Sweden contest. The pressure of winning the bronze medal weighed heavily on their shoulders. Canada was off their game. and didn't play as they had in • the Czech and Soviet games. Good fake 1 don't know what West German linesman Bernd • Schneider was trying to prove by • falling to the ice after being "brushed" by Canadian Pat Flatley. The incident, clearly • a dramatic put on, by Schneider, has no place in Olympic hockey. 1 taped the .bro.nzexnedal.game and,played back the "incident" about a. dozen times -. each time revealing innocence on Flately's. . behalf. 'Iahe biggest laugh of the day came when Schneider failed to come out for the third period, claiming his injury was so severe that he couldn't continue. Earlier in the tournament, Schnieder had called "'lately a "cry baby" for disputing some. offside calls. This is •a highly. unlikely motive for the Canadian player to elbow the linesman.. If +lately had intended to hit the linesmen, I'm sure it would have been a lot harder than a light brush onthe stomach.

Last Friday, the Bears outscored the Kincardine Kinucks 7-5, to take a three games to one strangle -hold in the semi-final series. In the other series, Wingham Ironmen erased the Hanover Barons in four straight games.

Port Elgin went into the series with only four defensemen and are currently getting a 110 per cent effort out of rearguards Jim Binns, Dave Kuhl and Grant LeMonte. Tombros said that the extra effort put forth by his club's forwards is helping the short- staffed defensive corps. It hasbeen-reported-- that Todd Root is playing -super hockey in the Port Elgin nets. If Port Elgin wins at home tonight (Feb. 22), it will be curtains for the defending league -champion Kinucks.

In the other series, Wingham received some excellent goaltending from Rob Schistad in defeating Hanover in three close games and one blow out. Wingham was paced by league -leading scorer . Troy Pocaluyko and Captain Kevin Coultes, who -both held hot hands in the series. Tombros. feels that if his team advances to the final against the. Ironmen, the key to beating them will be to shutdown their big' line. Ile said that his team will play a "bump and go" style of play against -them. • Port Elgin plans to throw four lines at the Ironmen. The fourth line recently came together and is. made up of Mike Chennette centering Gary Tucker and Chris Bell. If Port Flgin Knocks off the Kinucks, look for an excellent final series. I'm predicting the Bears over the Ironmen in seven.

Cindy Connelly and •Sandi Fremlin, both full-time instructors at the Connnunity Centre, said response to the program has been excellent. . Sixty students from Goderich, Seaforth and the Vanastra area began ' the 10 -week program on .Jan. 9. It is hoped an Exeter group will be enrolled in the spring program. Esso Imperial Oil Limited has provided the seed money to cover the program development cost. Both' instructors have been employed at the centre for three years. 11t s-a-stad-to_get.the_balLralling " . ndi_. • said of the program. "We're very pleased with the response we've had." "Quite a few parents are involved and that's half the battle won," she added. Cindy and. Sandi said they first heard of the program, last October when an Exeter lady expressed interest in Vanastra holding it. In November they attended an Esso Swim Canada Instructors' course in London. The course was eight hours long and, provided them with information concerning proper strokes and teaching techniques. .Following the second Esso Swim Canada program in the' spring, a Vanastra swim team may be started. The program consists of 10 weeks of one hour. in -pool instruction. The students begin in an introductory level and; participate in three test items. A 15 -metre freestyle, demonstrating proper stroke- technique; a shallowfront dive from pool deck followed by a.least two freestyle strokes and an open grab turn, preceded and succeeded by at least two freestyle strokes are the in- troductory tests involved. Upon completion of this level, the student is awarded a par- swim a 15 -metre backstroke demonstrating proper technique, demonstrating a proper . backstroke start off the -wall -succeeded -by -at least two backstrokes, demonstrate a shallow front dive from a starting block • followed by at least two freestyle strokes and demonstrate a dolphin kick over a distance of 10.metres. In the turns category, each student must demonstrate an open backstroke turn preceded and succeeded by at least two backstrokes. They must also demonstrate a freestyle flip turn preceded •and succeeded by at least two freestyle strokes. For endurance training they are asked to swim 50 -metres free style with no time limit and demonstrate a proper use of kick boards.. The challenge part of the bronze level consists of starting from a shallow dive off a starting block swim and 25 -metres freestyle in a specified time or less. "Usually the lesson starts off with stretchingand endurance skills and then we try a new skill," Cindy said. "We evaluate each student on a weekly basis. Most students had heard of the new strokes but didn't know how to perform them." Achievement standards have . been established to allow a minimum of .85 per cent of all participants to complete the gold level. Assessment techniques have been designed to permit candidates to progress at their own rate. The ultimate goal for the swimmers in this program is to achieve the award of merit The student has to swim the 100 -metre (four laps) freestyle, 100 -metre backstroke, 100 - metre breaststroke, 50 -meter butterfly and 100 I.M. in a specified time, using proper entry, turns and stroke technique.

Kelly McBeth,, 11, of Goderich is the most -advanced swimmer in the program -thus far. Instructors said that the youngster has almost completed the 'bronze level at this stage. Goderich has 27 swimmers enrolled in junior and senior divisions of the program. Seaforth has 18 entered, while Vanastra and area has 15 swimmers in- volved. Diane Durnin, the recreation director at the Vanastra Community Centre, said that the recreation directors in Seaforth and Goderich deserve a lot of credit for getting youths involved in the program. Both instructors discussed the possibility of year-round competitive swimming in Vanastra. "It's something that is possible in the future," Sandi said.
