Brutal battle
The imprint of Louis Sleigher's fist will be
on Jean Hamel's face for eternity.
Sleigher's dynamite left -hook sucker punch
left Hamel semi-conscious on the ice with a
broken nose In last Friday night's brutal
battle of Quebec. The memories of the
hockey game - some good, some bad, will
also be around for a long time.
Lose fight whi game
The Montreal Canadiens - Quebec
Nordiques series ended in dramatic fashion
last Friday night, but not before more than
four hours in penalties were assessed - 248
minutes to be exact. The fists finally stopped
flying long enough for Montreal to post a
come -from -behind 5-3 victory and a 4-2
series triumph.
As the buzzer sounded to end the second
period, all hell broke loose. PlaYers from
both teams poured on the ice and converged
together into one large circle. The fists flew
and everybody, including the two back-up
goaltenders began fighting.
Not since the days of the "Broad Street
Bullies" has there ever been such an
outbreak of violence in one hockey game.
Remember the days when the Philadelphia
Flyers stocked their roster full of nail -
chewing thugs? Fans at the Montreal
Forum on Friday night didn't have to rely on
their memories to visualize the tactics that
made the Flyers famous. Chris Nilan, Mario
Tremblay, Mark Hunter and Louis Sleigher
are players whose actions reminded
everyone of the Flyers of old.
The mutual dislike between the Canadiens
and the Nordiques was bound to surface in
game six since it had been brewing since the
series began. People expected a "nothing
short of war" series and when it didn't
materalize until game six, it caught a lot of
people by surprise. But few expected the
eruption of full-scale combat.
Who was responsible? The Montreal -Quebec encounter was a
perfect example of a referee not doing his
job.
Referee Bruce Hood blamed the whole
incident , on a miscommunication between
himself and the two teams. The fact remains
the referee should have made sure both
teams received the list as to who had
received game misconducts. Surely Hood
must have known the Canadiens would be
out to avenge Sleigher's sucker punch at the
beginning of the third.
According to Hood, in.a situation like the
one that occurred in Montreal, the teams
send someone to the referee's dressing room
to check what the penalties are so they will
be able to set up for the next period. When no
one came to question Hood about the
penalties, he assumed they had received the
information from the timekeeper.
The bottom line is that Hood should have
closed this communication gap. He should
have told the teams about the penalty
situation, instead of waiting for them to
come to him. If he had done his job, the
third -period brawl might not have
materialized.
Semi-final match -ups
Islanders vs. Canadiens
After shaky moments against the Rangers
in round one and the Capitals in round two,
the New York Islanders appear to have all
the bugs out of their system. Goaltender
Billy Smith is hot and continues to sparkle in
the Islanders' net. Depth sums up the
Islanders' roster. Even without Potvin,
Tonelli, Langevin and Bourne in game five
against Washington, the Islanders were able
W win.
Montreal should put up a fight, especially
since their style is similar to New York's.
Home ice advantage won't hurt their
chances either (Because regular season
record favored the Adams Division over the
Patrick). This series should give fans a
chance to see if Steve Penney is for real.
The bottom line in this series is the
extreme depth of the Islanders. Look for a
grinding type of series.
Islanders in six
Minnesota vs. Edmonton
Fortunately for Minnesota North Stars,
luck was on their side in a seven -game
series with the surprising St. Louis Blues.
Don't get me wrong, Minnesota has a strong
hockey club, but not a Stanley Cup calibre
--one. The North Stars will -Have to come out
hitting if they hope to go anywhere against
the offensive -minded Oilers.
I'm not impressed with the Oilers as an
over-all team. They lack defense. Their
goaltending is ordinary. Their offense is
their savior_ In the end (Stanley Cup final),
Edmonton's free -wheeling will catch up
with them. '
In this series the upper hand goes to the
Oilers. They have Gretzky and Kurri and
Minnesota doesn't.

Plenty of good fishing here
Fishermen in the . Goderich area don't
have to go far as there is plenty of good
fishing right here in Goderich. The lake and
river provide them with the opportunity off
catching a variety of fish.
One of the most common fish to hook in
this area is the perch. When they start to
move inshore, fishermen head to Bayfield or
the Goderich docks with their poles and bait.
The best bait to use when fishing for perch is
a worm or minnows.
In. early .Springthe rainbow,trout anal....
salmon are.plentiful. They can. be caught out
of the Maitland River or in Bayfield.'
At the mouths of creeks and streams
which flow into the lake, the fisherman can
catch smelt. The run for smelt is short, but if
they get down to the water in time, they can
catch a lot of fish.
The best way to catch smelt during the run
Ls with a seine net. After the run is over any
type of dip net will do.
Brook trout can be found in cold water
streams if those fishing for them have
patience. These trout are very wary and
sleath, causing many to leave the challenge
for someone else. However, some have
found that if they fish upstream against the
current, they are more successful.
The Maitland River provides good bass
fishing with live bait, lures or spinners. If
live bait • :is- preferred, minnows,
helgrammites and crayfish are best.
Fishing is a good way to get out in the
fresh air, relax and at the same time, get a
suntan. Those who live in the surrounding
areas and enjoy the sport can find plenty of
good fishing only minutes away.

Be prepared for the
oening of trout season
BY STEVE COOKE
With the official opening of Trout season
fust a few days away, it's tune to organize
that equipment and make sure everything is -
in top notch condition. Poles should be
cleaned and the guides checked for rough
spots, waders patched up where necessary,
and hooka on lures checked for sharpness
and touched up if needed. One of the most
important, and often the most neglected,
parts of your annual preparations will be
putting new line on your reel.
Monofilaments do deteriorate with age,
exposure to light and repeated usage and ir-
regardless of what bait or lure you use, it's
that thin thread that means the difference
between a fish fry and a fish tale.
Fishermen who are in the know change their
line at regular intervals during the season,
but at the very least, everyone who ventures
forth with a rod in their hand would be well
advised to have a fresh spool on at the start
of the season.
And there is another important reason for
paying particular attention to that monofila-
ment, The International Game Fish
Associations "(IGFA) has recently expanded
their categories and to date, there are 170
freshwater world record categories which
are absolutely vacant. Add to that the fact
that the manufacturers of Trilene are offer-
ing $1,000 to anyone who establishes a world
record using their line, and the incentive
should certainly be there.
Before you rush out to make a down pay-
ment on that new fishing boat, you need a
few more facts.
First of all, send a request, along with $1
to IGFA HeadquartersL000 East Las Olas
Boulevard, Ft. Lauderdale, FL 33316, and
ask for their official 1984 Rule Book. • And if
you ask, they'll also include their booklet on
Fishing Photography.
Next, you'll want to verify the pound test
monofilament line you'll be using will meet
the line class specifications for the species
record you hope to set. That used to be a ma-
jor guessing game because most line
manufacturers do not list line class informa-
tion on their spool or packaging.

co -
and
consistently uniform nylon mono that will
meet specific IGFA line classes. The line
specialists at Berkley solved that problem
using computers and lasers. Now, every
spool of their new Trilene XT World Record
line clearly states the line class both on the
label and on the package. It takes the guess
work out of world records."
Fishing for new world records reflects the
strong, new trend towards quality, not quan-
tity fishing. Record fishing started as a
saltwater angler's challenge, but now it has
grown to become the hottest new frontier in
all phases of sportfishing today.
• Some say it's the challenge of being able
to match your skill against all other anglers
without having to pay a tournament entry
fee. Others say it's the personal satisfaction
that comes just in testing your skill even if
you don't make the'record books.
One thing is for certain; it's fun preparing
and speculating on how you are going to
spend that $1,000. If your local supplier
doesn't have properly rated IGFA lines, ask
him to get some, and in a hurry!
What kind of bait do you need to catch
those big fish? And, how do you go about col-
lecting your bounty once they are in the
boat?
Knowing the answers to these questions
could prove to be the next, most profitable
two minutes reading of your fishing career.
Few anglers recognize that IGFA runs
five wet break strength tests and the
average determines the line class. If the
angler states he used Trilene and a new
record appears to have been set, a portion of
his line sample is forwarded by the Interna-
tional Game Fish Association (IGFA) to
Berkley's labs for verification. They run a
chemical' "fingerprint" to confirm it is
Trilene. Not all nylon lines are the same.
Because the new Trilene lines use a unique
nylon alloy chemistry, they yield their own
distinctive fingerprint_ _: -__ --
If there are any doubts about the veracity
of the world record application both IGFA
and Berkley reserve the right to conduct
further field investigation which can include
a polygraph test.
The best advice is to check out your gear,
and hang out that sign "Gone Fishing"
