After going around the table in an attempt to coax various people into taking a position, the consensus was /bat everyone was• too busy. You can't blame someone who is already contributing their tune to minor hockey for not wanting to take on the responsibilities of the junior team as well. And even though they are already doing their part for the community, many of these people said they would be willing to help out in another capacity. It is those people who are in- terested in the sport and not yet involved that are desperately needed. The type of people the organization is looking for to sit on the executive are people who are retired or semi -retired. As Mr. Wright said, "It's going to take an awful lot of hard work" to get the team back on its feet, and in order to do the work, the club needs people who have the time. Another big concern is whether the team, if it is to continue, should stay in Junior Cor go back to Junior D. From what I understand, Junior C is abet- ter calibre of hockey, involves more travell- ecutive. But whatever it was, happened -a ing for the Clinton team and, because it is a few years ago and now they need to concen- better brand of hockey, requires the team, to trate on rebuilding the enthusiasm that once pick up more imports. surrounded the franchise.

But deciding whether the club should stay at ,its present level or not is useless at this stage. There first has to be an executive and people who are willing to help out at the Junior C or Junior D level. Last year the club went through the same problems. They thought the franchise was going to fold because they couldn't get enough people to volunteer for the ex- ecutive. At that time, former president Larry Daw said, "If you can't stand up and take the positions, then you don't deserve a team." It appears that this is what the entire issue will come down to. And if the rumors are true, the minute the franchise slips thr9ugh Clinton's hands, a town down the road will be after it. Sure the Mustangs have had a few bad years, but there was a time when they were winning games and had money in the bank. This proves that the town really can support a team, all they need is a winner. But that is easier said than done. Mustang Coach Dan Colquhoun was par- tially right when he said they have to find out what turned everyone off joining the ex - Seniors can stay in shape too ' Contrary to what many people think, current best time for a Canadian over 50 is . people can remain fit even into their senior . lower than the Canadian record for any age. years.
