The Huron Expositor, 1984-10-31, Page 16A16 — THE HURON EXPOSITOR, OCTOBER 31, 1984 SPORTS Hockey finally my spectator/sport SWEAT SOCKS by He s th • r Mdllwraith It seems like a lifetime since 1 last did it, but this weekend I finally went to a hockey game -- as a spectator. Now I must admit the game wasn't the most spectacular I've ever seen but there is a certain "je ne said quoi" about being able to sit and observe a game at your own convenience. Nothing makes it harder to keep your attention focused on a hockey game than when you know you have to keep alert for the entire 60 minutes --stop time, of course. Then there's the added responsibility of having to take photographs of all the pertinent plays. And, as it usually happens, lust when you're giving the old focusing eye ,a rest and the trigger finger a break the best IN STOCK NOW!

Oldfield Brussels, Ont. !ladle lhaek Hardware 887-6851 action off the night occues, and you miss it. Murphy's law, right? Well, this weekend was different to say the least. It was a far cry from the days my sister and I used to fight over who would carry my brother's equipment into the arena. I used to beg and plead to be able to "saw" my brothers hockey stick and then • tape it. But I was there as a spectator, and there was no camera around my neck. It was a great feeling to be able to drink • hot chocolate at will and to view the game from a safe distance. (It's unreal how close a puck seems when you're viewing it through the eye of a 135 mm camera lens. And it can. get pretty embarrassing when you're ducking out of the way when the puck is still at the other end of the ice --oh, well). In retrospect, I'd have to say I've watched between 20-25 hockey games a week, in the past three years, and not all of it was good calibre. And after sitting through that much hockey, to which I could not appear Artisan, (it is the reporter's oath to be objective at all. costs); it took a major effort on my part to get enthused as a spectator. 1 guess I was just not conditioned to take hockey as strictly enjoyment. It was a little difficult to remember that I could get hyped if 1 wanted to, and it took more than a few recollections of my "mert'y" youth and the constant excursions to the ice rink "for ine to cast away all my inhibitions and even to just smile. It might even suffice to say I enjoyed myself despite the fact that my team lost. One might assume that 1 am not a hockey fan. In fact, the opposite is true. My dad and I are big Canadian fans I 1 grew up in a home where hockey ruled the winter months and baseball the summer -and I can't say I had a miserable childhood.
