Misses Linda Albert and Catherine Anne Lane are enjoying a holiday in Spain while Mr. Keith Murray is in France with otther students ' from S.D.H.S. ByTom Conaway Kitchener-Waterloo Record Fortner Kitchener Ranger Dave Maloney is a patient, young man. He-knows he's going to make it to ,the big time on a regular basis some ,day, and in the meantime, he's thotoughly enjoying his stay with Providence Reds of the American H ockey League. But there's another good , reason why the No. 1 draft choice of the new York Rangers doesn't find waiting too difficult. His three-year contract is for ' $400,000. ' Most keople would be content hauling home that kind'of loot. In fact, they'd probably make that biblical paragon of Patience, Job, appear over-anxious in comparison. Instead of starring as '-an 18-year-old AHL defenceman, Maloney would still be playing junior hockey had the National Hockey League and the World Hockey Association not raided the under-age market. He was one of 26 juniors from across ' Canada who were picked before' "'fully, ripened. A handful of under-age juniors have done reasonably well; Kansas City S9outs' Wilf Paiement is one who t- quickly comes to luind. But most have been farmed out, and likely won't make the parent club's roster for another two or three years. In the meantime, Canadian junior .hockey - fans are being deprived of seeing the brightest, young talent, like Maloney, progress until mature enough to break into a major league lineup. Americans, many with little knowledge of the game, now have the privilege. And it's all because of the big buck. Because of the disenchantment of the Junior A fans, attendanies throughout the Ontario Hockey Association major leagne have dropped dreadfully this season. Now , after that ridiculous move by Toronto Toros in signing Toronto Marlboros' Mark Napier, the situation will likely worsen. There's nothing wrong with an exceptional junior being drafted at 18. It's happened many times before — for example, Bobby ,Orr,, Bobby Hull, Frank Mahovlich and Gordie Howe — and should happen again if an individual exhibits 'extraordinary , talent. But when it's done, it should be through a league draft. It's bad enough that the Toros greedily grabbed a youngster at a time when the .NHL and WHA appeared close to an agreement on the drafting of under-age juniors. HoWever, it's absolutely mind-boggling what Toros hope (-to gain by ignoring' the rules of their own league. If Napier is good enough to play ,pro hockey next year, that'- fine. But other clubs, such as the struggling Baltimore . should have a shot at him, too. Even Maloney agrees that the wholesale signing of under-age juniors should be stopped. "I was fortunate to be drafted," Maloney said the other day as he relaxed in his Warwick, • R.I., apartment prior to a home game with Rochester Americans that night. "But I'm opposed to the drafting of under-age juniors who aren't ready. You can't blame Mark Napier. How many kids are going to turn down that kind of money (reportedly $1 million over three or four years). All it is is greed on the part of the owners." Happy he was drafted early Maloney doesn't, feel he was drafted prematurely. The strapping six-feet-three, 190- pounder would be a regular on most NHL teams. But it's not easy trying to find employment on a veteran defence corps like Rangers have. Maloney, who had three goals and "about 28 assists" prior to weekend games against Rochester, Nova Scotia and New Haven, got an opportunity to play with Rangers for four games earlier this year when injuries 'tarted to play havoc with Emile Francis' lineup. Now, with Dale Rolfe fracturing his ankle last weekend, he might get another chance.. Maloney remembers his second NHL game against Boston most vividly. Irle's a close friend of Bobby Orr, having worked at the Bruin super-star's hockey camp in Orillia the past five years.' "Orr came down and put the old howdy doody on, me and I nearly wound up .in the front raw,- Maloney said, laughing. "}didn't score, but I was lucky. We lost that game 11-3 but-1-had a good night. I had -a,plus of three .(on for all, three Ranger goals and not on for any of the Bruins')." Orr joked a bit on the sly with Maloney. He told him to get h is, hair cut during one stoppage of play. Maloney took that advite and had his ample locks shortn two days later. ‘.11e (Orr) pointed different things out to smile of our guys and told them to tell me. He told Ted Irvine that I should carry the puck more. But really, what can a young guy like 'me do against a team like Boston. I didn't want to carry it too much." Maloney likens playing in the NHL to playing against the best teams in the American League all the time. The players are a little smarter and fn some cases much stronger. "I wasn't disappointed when I was sent down," ...Maloney said. "It was four more games up there than I expected this year. Emile said he was pleased with me.. "I want to build up my 'strength this" summer, though. I get taken off the puck too easily. I'm not sure what I'm going to do. I mi work with 'my dad on constru ion from May to Idly before going to the hockey school. "That's the big. thing . . building up my strength. Sometimes I have to slow down a bit and think a little more. But I feel I can skate with the pros and I can get by with the rough going.!"

St. Columban Maloney was taken off the puck rather crudely in an important gar:, against Nova Vo geurs a fe,w- weeks ago. Former Kitchener team-mate Rick Chartraw • caught him accidentally with his stick and cut him for 12 stitches. Only-three weeks earlier he had received a t2-stitch gash across the top of the same right eye, the , result of a follow through on a slapkhot. "Rick's playing well for Nova Scotia," Maloney said. "He finds it a big change after being up with Montreal. But he's not disappointed. I don't think he intends to stay down „too long, though." Two other ex-Rangers are in lialifax, right winger Mike McKegney and defenceman Chuck Luksa. "Mike's content," Maloney continued. "He's . just' happy to have a contract with so many players out of work these days. ble?s scored against, us, and seems to be starting to comes I don't think Chuck's playing much." Another Ranger from the, 1973-74 first-place team who has played against Maloney is Pete Sturgeon. Sturgeon ' was signed by Boston and sent to Rochester. But his season ended prematurely three weeks'ago when he suffered torn ligaments. Reds are drawing about 4,000 fans a game in their ultra-modern complex. The AHL schedule can be brutal at y times. After last Thursday's home game, Reds flew to Boston in the morning for a mid-day meal, then took off again for a Friday night game in Halifax. Saturday morning, the team flew to Montreal and then on to New Haven for their third game in as many days that night. We fly most of the time; Maloney said. "We bus to places like New Haven, Springfield and sometimes Rochester, but I don't, mind the travelling. It's no roblem. . Nothing's a problem when you're young, talented, good- looking and vKealthy. Maloney 'maybe could have used another, year in junior A but with' two years of eligibility He'd likely have been selected in the under-age draft this year. Or is there an under-age draft any longer?
