Home My WebLink AboutThe Goderich Signal-Star, 1976-11-11, Page 27GMNA o#fers fans a ride to the game.: The Goderich Minor Hockey Association, schedule Is, underway in the Vanastra Arena and according to GMHA president Don .„Elliott. is missing only' • one ingredient, The Fan. Mr. Elliott said Monday: the community ingeneral had respo"nded admirably towards making the 1967-77 GMHA season ' a success despite the fact that Goderich didn't have`an,arena. He said just about every . avenue of organization had been han- dled by . volunteers from Goderich but added now that the schedule is underway fans of GMHA seem to he ignoring most of the Year's schedule so far. Some levels of hockey have been drawing a considerable number of fans but Mr. Elliott said some of the regularsat the Goderich Memorial Arena over the past few years haven't come out to Vanastra. He said the GMHA executive wanted to .try to ensure these people an, op- portunity to come to the arena despite the fact they may not have their _owin_. transportation" "Most of the coaches and players get •together at the Goderich arena , an hour before they play in Clinton,” said Elliott. "I've had quite a few people call and volunteer to drive if necessary and if fans wanted . to get into car• pools they also Ovid meet at • • • the arena." The president said last year on Friday. and Saturday night quite a. few elderly people toed to come to •the arena early and stay for the night's hockey. He said those people had not been coming to Vanastra and he and the executive hoped they were notcoming because of a lack of transportation. "Anyone who comes to the Goderich arena with the team. will be given a ride to Vanastra," he said, The GMHA executiye was also hoping to discuss tran- sportation of elderly fans with,. Goderich service clubs hoping one . • of .them may possibly arise to the occasion Wand' offer regular,rides for. anyone wishing to go to Vanastra. The final registration numbershave been calculated by the executive and the dismal outlook held for minor hockey this year was dispelled just prior to the start of the season. Of the 350 some odd players expected to return to the. ranks 'of the GMHA this year 225 signed up and are playing in Vanastra. Mr: Elliott said 'the same surprising rate of par- ticipation had been witnessed amongst coaches and managers despite the poor turnout early in the year. The quick success minor hockey, enjoyed in Vanastra is -due in part to `the efforts of Brian, Marriage; -pres en o the Clinton Minor Hockey Association. Marriage and Elliott spent several hours together, working out an inter - town house league schedule to permit • Goderich house league players , to compete this year. The Clinton president' also altered some of his schedule to permit Goderich teams' to get game and practice time inVanastra with Clinton clubs. Referees' are another reasonfor the• success the GMHA enjoyed in the -last few organizational days before ,theschedule actually started. Mr. Elliott said, more volunteers came out this year to officiate than ever before making., the transportation problem for officials minimal. • St. John's Ambulance also plan- to cover • all GMHA games to ensure the safety of the children involved. Clinton does not have an ambulance service and the nearest ambulance is Goderich or Seaforth. The GMHA Supporters Club formed recently and will be getting their season's activities underway in aid of minor hockey. Mr. Elliott said the combination of all .these groups and people has made it apparent that hockey will be a success this year but added not enough people are :coming out to witness that sucess. �e.
