wer4 told: there might. not be any minor •
hockey 1f they didn't get involved, So, with
'•111S:)yeir.,elit son Brad ready for the:mite
team Bdb I3euttenmiller volunteered.
"Iwalkedin and 'bang'. I was president
and 1 ve been the president ever stnce.'-t`he
says ."
After :coaching Brad's team for eight
years, Bob helps this year with the atom
' team tirhich his younger son Jason plays
for,•Bob plans to stay involved until his
9year.old• is too old to play minor`hockey: :
q have a lot of years to go yet but 1 enjoy
it If someone else wanted to be president,
I'd step down but I'm happy as president
until Then." •
In the 'meantime. Betty Beuttenmiller
knows she can find her husband at the arena
during the hockey. season. ' •
She agrees that if you have boys
involved, you should• be involved. She
co,nes'out to, all the games," says Bob.
- As president of the league, Bob oversees
the whole operation to make sure it runs
smoothly.. If anyone has complaints or
problems with minor hockey, they go to
him.
His store is in an ideal position uptown.
He takes time to talk to parents add'toaches
and best of all, he takes an interest in all the
teams, not just the ones his boys are on,"
says recreation director Bryan Peter.
CITIZENSHIP
His years of involvement in minor hockey
are the main reasons Bob won a citizenship
award for service to sports in the community
from the recreation committee last year.
says Mr, Peter.
'I've been well -pleased with Bob as a
coach for my son, ' says parent Carol
Carter. "He's been involved for so many
years. It's not easy to get people to take on
responsibility like that."
A hockey player himself since he was
5 -years -old, and growing up in Stratford,
Bob believes the sport teaches the value of
participation, fellowship and especially the
value of winning and losing.
"You've got to learn to be a good loser
and accept if a team is better than yours'but
you,should always go out to do your:best. If
•.yott dont want to win there's no point in
payyiing - he says,..
• Sincehe'scoached most of the same boys
ferAglityears, he's coached all age groups
but midget and he's seen them get pretty
competitive. But, if hockey is played the
way it should be (without fighting), Bob
says the game doesn't have to be rough.
If you want to see good hockey, come
outtothe Oldtlmers' games," he says. "It's
all passing and skatinbecause theses no
%body contact allowed.-
. PLAYS TOO
Though' he's on the phone with Bryan
Peter about minor hockey almost every day
of the hockey season and is at the arena
twice a week coaching at a game or practice,
Bob still finds time for his first love - playing
hockey.
• Two to three times a week, he gets
together with the Seaforth Oldtimers' team
. to play and once a month for executive
meetings. Eight 'of the players were his
teammates on the Intermediate B team, the
Seafprth Beavers which won the OHA
chati6pionship in 1964, '6S, and ;66 when
Bob played right wing while he was in his
early p0 s. Later the team dropped down to
the C division and enjoyed some more
victories but it never reached the same
heights of the earlier championships and
disbanded in 1975.
The Beuttenmiller house has trophies all
over the place from the days of the Seaforth
Beavers and from the accomplishments of
three athletic children. Bob admits it would
be almost impossible to grow up in his
household without an interest in sports. His
daughter, Lisa is hoping to attend McMast-
er University in the phys. ed. program.
While hockey fills most of his days in the
winter, Bob keeps just as busy in the
summer with the recreational men's soft- •
ball league. He and several others founded
the league in 1969; before that, there was no
organized baseball for men in town.
A player on the Mainstreet team. he was
president of the league three years ago and
continues to represent the team on the
league's executive. He says he loves the
competition and watches most of the games
even When he's not playing. And socializing

WALKING
Lately, Bob has added another activity to
his busy schedule. He and his wife walk
approximately three miles around town
every night taking different routes they've
mapped out.
"Walking is much more enjoyable than
sitting in front of the TV every night. And,
when we get back we jump into the
whirlpool we've had installed in the
house," he says.
Sports have been a part of Bob's life since
childhood and he plans to stay active for as
long as he can.
"You can play indefinitely if you keep
yourself in shape. Sometimes when it's
snowing out and 1 have to go and play
hockey, I think I'd rather lie on thelcouch
and relax. But, then 1 realize 1 can lie on the
couch all 1 want when I'm 80." ,
