Where's the GMHA House league gone?
The Goderich. Minor
Hockey Association executive
is back to working overtime
trying to ensure that as many,
youngsters as possible have a
Chance to play . organized
hockey this winter. The
executive is now trying to find
a place for about 50 bantam
and pee wee players to play
after 3 poor •registration in
the two age levels for-
the'T9°76-77 season.
• GMHA' president 'Don.
Elliott said., he was
negotiating with the Clinton
Minor Hockey Association to
-try to work out . a two .town.
house • league system to give
the 50 Goderich boys some
place to play. He said that
about 22 pee wee players and
30 bantams were left after the
two level All-Star teams were
formed explaining that the
numbers meant that only two
teams could be formed at.
each level for any house
league competition..
"There's no Fay you can
have the s two teams
playing each' other every
week," he said.
The travelling time to the
arena has been blamed for
the poor turnout: of pee wee
and bantam house league
players. The executive were
expecting about 225 players to
register allowing them to
form two All-Star teams and
Operate a four or five team
house league in each division:
depending on the number.... .
"House -league parents are
used to driving their kids to
the arenaor, letting them
walk down I guess," said the
president. "They just aren't
interested in driving to ,
Clinton;" ,. •
The poor registration is not.
restricted to' Goderich alone.
Mr. Elliott said.that'he talked
with executive members. of
minor hockey associations in
several communities that •,
have had their arenas 'closed
and • said that out of town
arrangements for hockey has
not been accepted by parents:
The system • being in-
vestigated by the executive
would . have the Goderich
house league teams playing
in the same; league as the
G1-i-n-ton--clubs-t-heh. age., The
Clinton executi'Ue. are 'not
opposedto the idea but say
they have to wait to see what
their own registration is
before • they commit them-
selves to -allowing Goderich
youngsters to play. The
second ' registration for
Clinton minor hockey is this
weekend and Mr. Elliott said
he expects to know early next
week what the outcome will
be.
The executive has other
alternatives open to them,
none of theca attractive. ac-
cording •toMr. Elliott. He said
the ' executive could try to
form a secpnd all-star squad
using the house league
players available• .now but
pointed out that the players
are younger' ones that haven't
had the opportunity. -to 'play
enough to challenge at an all-
star . team level and would'
probably have a shortened
'season that would • not get
them to the playoffs. He
. added -however that at least
some of theca would get to
play.
Tat seems to be the
drawback in that alternative.
According to OMHA rules••
only .25 players can be signed
for an all-star team and of
that only 17' can be dressed for
a game. That would mean
that at least five pee wees
would miss each game they
played and that five bantam
players woUl'd have to be told
they can't play at all .and
given their money back.
A second alternative
suggested is to pit all 50
players together into one

The suggestion was to

The third alternative now
confronting the executive is
to simply return. . the

the players thus' far and

straw the executive pulls, but
according to Mr. Elliott' it is
one they will pull only when

"I'll know more next `week
when Clinton has their final
registration," he said, "The
executive 'is confident some
arrangement can be Made to
allow these boys to play."
