time since the 1979-80 seasdn.

position they will face the `second place

two by identical 7-5 scores. If the
.Centenaires are going to win this series they
have to win in Lucan, a feat which they can
accomplish with a full team effort of hustle

install Lucan as the favorites but the
Centenaires could win in six games.

playoffs as of the middle of last week when
the Irish defeated the Thedford Browns thus
eliminating the latter from post -season play.

Good skating beats
hockey violence
BY SUSAN HUNDERTMARK
As one of the roughest Philadelphia
Flyers in the mid -70's, Dave Schultz, with
2,706 minutes in penalties, was known as
the Hammer. By breaking jaws, assaulting
and knocking players out, he earned wealth
fame, notoriety and a guilty conscience.
More than five years later, in his book, The
Hammer - Confessions of a Hockey
Enforcer, Schultz makes a strong stand
against hockey violence.
Included in the many reasons his role of
enfureer began to sour for him, Schultz's
children Chad and Brett topped the list. "I
wondered how Chad would react if he saw
me at a game getting into a fight. i
wondered whether he would be horrified at
the sight of two guys standing in the
middle of a hockey arena slugging it out on
skates," he says. And, because he realizes
that his famous fists are bound to effect
young hockey players, he calls for re return
to a game of artistry and sportsnialiShip
from the violent goon tactics professional
hockey had become accustomed to.
Along with their heroes in the NHL,
Schultz says that coaches and parents have
a great influence on the way children play
hockey. He says, "it is .our responsibility
as adults to give the proper guidance and
to set the right examples for young people.
With sport as big a part of our society as it
is, there is perhaps an even greater
responsibility on professional athletes to
provide the sort of example that our
youngsters need. i realize now that some of
my actions were not the kind to be
followed. "
And in Seaforth, coaches, parents and
officials seem to be taking Dave Schultz's
advice. "Between coaches and parents,
you can really shape a hockey player,"
says recreation director Bryan Peter. That
influence keeps sportsmanship uppermost
in most players' minds, he says.
The rule which banned body contact in
minor hockey below the bantam age
discourages violence and makes better
hockeylayers, says Seaforth's referee -in -
chief, Joyce McClure.
Because all players younger than 14
cannot check, they learn to skate and to
pass and become more skillful players. "I
think we've got a lot more sportsmanship
back in hockey," says Mrs. McClure.
"The kids have their stars and the ones
they look up to, but they know they can't
fight like players in the NHL. Besides, they
don't want to risk sitting out a game ,for
. fighting," she says.
As a referee and player on the Seaforth
midget team, Scott Driscoll sees some
fighting and rough stuff but he also sees
coaches, parents and officials discouraging
it.
"The NHL has a big effect on kids.
Around Pee Wee age, players start getting
cocky in front of the net mien with the
no body contact rule. They get pushing and
sometimes start fighting. But the NHL has
calmed down and kids are mostly copying
Gretzky's moves and the European style of
skate, pass and hustle instead of rough,
ness," he says.
Players who are too rough also do more
harm than good to their team, says Scott. A
team that has players spending a lot of
time in the penalty box plays short-handed
a lot of the time and often ends up losing.
Chris Cardno, another midget player and
referee says he sees some of the younger
players getting rough at games but he
blames it on the coaches.
"At a tournament I refereed at, some
kids from the city were taking the game
awfully serious and sometimes, a fight
broke out. But, their coach was pretty bad,
yelling at the refs and throwing sticks on
the ice. You don't see much of that around
here," he says.
Senior ringette team wins
On Wednesday Feb. 8. the Seaforth and
District senior ringette team travelled to
Stratford, returning with a 5-2 win.
In spite of many penalties Seaforth played
an excellent defensive game allowing only
two goals. All the girls played exceptionally
well.
Lisa O'Dwyer led the scoring with two
goals. Deb Core. Jennifer Watt and Jan
Vandenberk rounded out the scoring. Sandra
Wilson had three assists.
Seaforth managed a come from behind tie
on Friday in their home arena. Penalties
plagued the team but good netminding and
defense in the final period along with
pressure o`n'offense--keptthe game.

had one and one. Lisa O'Dwyer had one goal.

and Jae Vandenberk.
Team wins first
Seaforth District High School's girls'
volleyball team won its first tournament ever
recently in Walkerton.
"We have a shorter team than any we
played and we're only winning about 50 per
cent of the season's games but the girls
played super well at the tournament," says
coach Doug Proctor.
Players Faye Carnochan, Lucille Delaney,
Sandra Hulley, Denise Morey. Rosie Van
Dyk, Brenda Wesenburg and Estella Wilson

and Stratford.
