From the stands

Your opinion counts
If the Junior C Mustang franchise is to
stay in Clinton, the March 14 meeting needs
to be well attended by people who are will-
ing to pitch in and help.
The decision to fold or maintain the Junior
C Club will be made on March 14 at the Clin-
ton Arena. Everyone is invited to attend and
voice their opinion on the matter. If the deci-
sion is made to keep the franchise, a new ex-
ecutive Will be elected.
Why is Clinton considering folding the
team? If you were out to any of their home
games, the answer is obvious; lack of sup-
port. Add that to having two bad seasons
and the future doesn't look very bright.
After making it to the semi-finals in 1983,
the Mustangs fell to the bottom of the league
the following year, recording their worst
record since they started in the late 1960s.
At the end of the 1983-84 season, their
future was in doubt. Financial difficulties
and lack of volunteers to serve on the ex-
ecutive were the issues, similar to this year.
At last year's meeting, Don Wright agreed
to take on the responsibilities of president,
but only `for one year. He has fulfilled his
agreement and is now hoping to get new peo-
ple with new ideas on the executive to help
pull the club out of the red •
I was surprised when I found out how
much it takes to run the club for one season.
Mr. Wright estimated it costs between
$23,000 and $30,000 per year.
The items which the money are spent on •
seem small, but multiply them by 20 (the
team carried 20 players) and they do add
up. Ice time, sticks, bus rental, mileage and
board for out of town players are a few of the
expenses. This year 20 Clinton sponsors
helped outfit the team, donating $200 each.
The club is allowed to carry 25 players, -
but signed only 20. Mr. Wright said this
wasn't because of a lack of interested
players but because the club felt 20 players
were enough.
Once a town loses a franchise it is next to
impossible to get one again. And you can't
blame the authorities for being skeptical if
Clinton were to go back in five or six years
and say they would like another shot at hav-
ing a Junior C team.
Another reason is for sheer entertain-
ment. People of all ages are interested in
hockey.
Clinton has kept the Junior C team for
over 10 years, so they can do it. All they need
is community support. The 20 sponsors who
helped outfit the team this year deserve a
pat on the back - it's a step in the right direc-
tion.
CONFUSED?
here is a practical solution...
Insurance is a complex busi-
ness. Most laymen need an inde-
pendent expert who works for the
buyer instead of the insurance
company. An insurance broker
will help you assess your insur-
ance needs and then will shop
around the various companies to
get you the best insurance buy.
He works for you, not the insur-
ance company.

Oldtimers take "B" championship
After four futile attempts at winning the
Zurich Has -Beans annual Oldtimers Hockey
tournament the Colt 35's finally came hom
March 3 with the "B" consolation trophy.
An indication of impending success was
evident March 2 when they held the
champions of the past two years, the Sarnia
Old Oilers, to a 4 - 4 tie with 42 seconds left on
the clock only to have the Oilers score their
fifth goal and add an empty netter to take'
the game
March 3 saw the Colts go ahead of Forest 2
- 0 only to have that reduced to 2 -1 with five
minutes left. The Colts hung on and
advanced to the "B" final against the
London Dough Boys.
This game turned into a thriller - no score
after regulation time. Three minutes into
sudden death overtime sustained pressure
by the Colts paid off as Larry Powell fired
the sole goal of the game from 20 feet out to
win • the game and the consolation
championship for the Colts and the M.V.P.
award for himself.
The imposing Hensall Co-op trophy is
resting at the Clinton Arena for all to view.
The Colts are much improved this year; 13-
10-2 to date. They have three or four games
scheduled this month before going to a
tournament in Kincardine March 29 - 31.
After that they close their season at the
Lambeth tournament with four games
guaranteed April 13 and 14.
CHSS eliminated from further action
By Heather Baumann
The qualifying tournament „in Stratford
ended the Junior Girls' volleyball, season on
February 25. The girls travelled to Stratford
Northwestern that morning, ready to take
part ina full day of competitive volleyball.
The teams were divided into two pools:
Listowel, Stratford Northwestern,
Goderich, Seaforth and Central Huron in
one, and South Huron, Mitchell, Norwell, St.
Marys and Madill in the other.
Clinton played eight games in total
against the fourteams in their pool. Their
strongest showing was against Listowel,
which has the second best team in the
league. CHSS won 15 - 7 and 15 - 6.
At the close of the day, CHSS found
themselves only two points short of going on
to the Huron -Perth finals, but were shutout
by Stratford Northwestern and Goderich.
All in all, the girls had a great season
playing and working together. Their deep
appreciation goes out to "Coach Henke",
who has added so much to the season this
year.
