Team Canada '72 reunion game taped for telecast Few events united Canadians from coast-to-coast and caused as much drama and emotion as the Team Canada -Soviet Union hockey series in 1972. Well, they're back! The original members of Team Canada '72 will line up against an A11 -Star team comprised of former National Hockey League greats to raise funds for the Phil Esposito Foundation. Global's got "TEAM CANADA '72 - THE SPIRIT RETURNS", Sunday, February 3, 4:30 - 6: 00 p.m. Frank Mahovolich, Phil Esposito, Stan Mikita, Dennis Hull and, of course, Paul Henderson will rekindle those exciting memories when they step on the ice. They may be slightly slower today, but in 1972 they used speed and finesse to defeat the Soviet hockey machine with four wins, three losses and a tie in the spectacular eight -game series. To give Team Canada a stern test, a group of hockey legends including Gordie, Howe, Bobby Hull, (Coach) Bobby Orr, Henri Richard, Andy Bathgate and Dick Duff, has been assembled for the charity game. Danny Gallivan and Dave Hodge will be the broadcast team for the game which Phil Esposito oranized to raise funds for his foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to provide post -career planning programs and crisis relief programs for former athletes in need of assistance.

Thursday against Strathroy, the Lions outskated, outchecked and outscored their opposition and deserve full marks for their victory.

Bad, ads are a sad fad Canadian Olympic speedskating hero Gaetan Boucher can be seen on most televison newscasts lately, as he continues to dominate his sport, with recent wins at speedskatingi competitions in Davos, _ Switzerland. wardid-gifod,-I-d-onTirtillid- - hearing about Boucher this way. It's his other capacity on television these days that is causing me some distress. Namely, his embiiassing appearances as spokesman for the milk marketing board. You know 'the commercial, the one where the little idpicks up Boucher's long -bladed speed=skates. and declires, "You call these skates? I call them skis." TQ._ which Gatean cleverly changes the subject to a lump of butter (a common topic of conversation) and tells the kid, "You call it butter. I call it a good source of Vitamin C." • The child Woks suitibly perplexed at Boucher's strange remarks, but hero worship being what it is, I have visions of the strange- looks this kid now gets at hothe, when at the supper table he urges family members to pass him the "good source of Vitamin C". Nothing is' more irritating to the TV viewer than these insipid type of commercials. They are even more irritating when some well-known sports ••ligures get into the act. Boucher's commercial is not the most insulting to the viewer's intelligence currently available. And Boucher at least has a genuine need for the money, so he can almott be excused for getting involved. As an amateur athlete, Boucher sacrificed much, to compete for his country in the Olyrnpics. So, it is only fair that he be allowed his ride on the gravy train, while it lasts, even if it is a touch degrading. People like Wayne Gretzky however, who are financially secure enough to have the option of being selective about the commercial's they do, are a different story. Obviously Wayne, who's 74.1p $ irol* VIEW BY. PATRICK RA FTIS commercials at least had a bit of class, is currently lowering hiinself to do a --connnerciaFfor---one--of--those--kiddie— breakfast cereals. • Wayne, who undoubtably never eats the stuff, urges children to pester their moms to buy this cereal, of the sugar gooey variety. The cereal is the kind that, "along with four ounces of milk" is a good source of all kinds of healthy stuff. Of course the healthy„stuff is contained completely in the milk and this cereal is definatley not the sort of thing one feeds prospective champions. Not all these commercials need be so offensive, a recent series, one of which depicted ex -Expos catcher Gary Carter trying to stop hiS daughter Christie's fastball, were cute enough to avoid the insipid tag. But not many get off so easy. Poor Bobby Hull, after his second wife cleaned hiin out in a divorce settlement, the Golden Jet could be seen all over the airwaves, plugging everything from jock straps to Cooperalls. Not a pretty sight. Fortunately for Hull, he discovered the banquet circut, where he now does' about three banquets a week,, at around $500 a' crack.
