Some 31,000 parents of young hockey players were surveyed by mail, and asked for their written opinions; sub- sequently, public forums were held in thirty Ontario communities. The survey and report were dedicated to the idea that "future generations of children in Ontario -could have the opportunity to participate in hockey (at whatever level of involvement they choose) in anen•- vittrnment which fosters learning, enjoyment and healthy competition, in that order of importance. cc- DOZ.

In the report there are comments . on such questions as: hockey skills development; parental behaviour at games; money and time spent on hockey; quality of coaches and referees; and violence in the game. There are 119 recom- mendations, some of which I would like to tell you about. For 'example, it is recommended that there. should be .at least two .practice hours., for every game played. There is considered to be too much specialization too early.

All coaches should be certified, and evaluated. Parents mustcease'the abuse they direct toward officials. Parents "should be seen and not heard" in the arena. A reduction in travel, the number ,of .games, and in the length of the season must take place.

The puck is on the ice, not around the shoulders: ' .Referees should be required' to visit the dressing room of each team prior to every, game, to introduce themselves by name, teach and review certain rules, and to answer questions about rule interpretations. Other suggestions are that body checking should- .be- 'prohibited for Pee Wee -and -under age groups; that local associations . eliminate body checking in all age groups of House Leagues, and that all two -minute Jack Riddell M.P.P, penalties be served to duration, no matter how many goals are scored.

With respect to more practices compared with games, ice time is very expensive in some communities. How will the extra funds be raised? The provincial government has an- nounced that it will spend up to $2 million overthree years to improve the quality of minor hockey in Ontario. The ,.moeny will be used to improve youngsters', basic jockey skills, to upgrade the knowledge of coaches and referees and to try to improve the atmosphere autroundtngthe game. These funds will be administered by the Ontario°Hockey Council, a co-ordinating group for regional and local hockey associations. Funding will be in two parts, one a total of $900,000 over' three years as part of the ". base funding for the OHC 'and up to $1.1 million over three years from lottery • profits. The Minister of Culture and Recreation has announced proposed changes in the structure and constitution of the OHC in order to meet its expanded responsibilities for developing Ontario minor hockey. The OHC willbecome an in- corporated non-profit provincial organization, Currently, the Council operates under. Orders -in - Council placing, it under the direct control of the provincial government. The Minister has asserted that "this is a relationship that is too close." "We could create a completely public council that had no direct representation from organized hockey, but I think the best of all worlds is one in which the public at large Works; ..> with organized hockey in an independent body," he said. It is proposed that four public representatives will be placed on the OHC board of directors in addition to the representatives of the eight hockey associations 7 around the province. The public positions will be appointed through the office of the Minister.•.,, of Culture and Recreation, and the new ap- pointments are intended to ensure, the general public has a say in the development of minor hockey in the province. The Chairman of the Ontario Hockey Council has expressed the view that "we have all the information we need to act and, now, with the clear support of the Ministry. of Culture and Recreation we are ready to act on the positive recomrnend ations presented in our examination of the quality of minor , hockey in Ontario." 141. 3A CW PIRWT EVERY 17.44E John Jeffrey & Son * Building Supplies * Plywood Panelling * Lumber of All Kinds * Insulation * Cement * Glass * Paint & Hardware Phone 524-8171 163 ELGIN AVENUE EAST 'GODERICH
