PAGE 10-0I4INTON NEWS-RECORD, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1.974 , We get letters Residents help NWT community DEAR EDITOR: Congratulations to the Olin- ton Juvenile baseball team for going so far. Any town is proud of a team who can win an all Ontario title, But then I star- ted wondering why Clinton can't do as well in hockey. It's the same boys, the same town, the same men behind the scenes, and as good an arena (comparably) as the ball diamond. How long is it since Clinton has won an Ontario Championship in hockey? As I amble through the arena lobby, I see pictures of Clinton hockey teams, And what I remember are those juvenile teams. How long ago? What's the matter with those Minor Hockey Officials? Are they afraid to start a juvenile team? Afraid that it might ap- pear as if their boys were being pushed or favoured? or is it the easy way out to say "there isn't enough interest"? Or is it the fault of the players? Are these boys so infatuated with Junior Hockey that they refuse to play juvenile? Last year in Junior D, they couldn't get out of their own Zone. - And this year Junior C. Good luck, but wait and see. The higher you go and with more imports there is a greater risk in loss of home fan support. Good hockey, - yes - but. Every one of those boys who played on the juvenile ball team could have played juvenile hockey last winter, and if you add all those boys from the Jr.D hockey team who were still eligible to have juvenile, you might, well have had another Ontario Champion- ship, The secret to a winning team is to keep a team together - from pee wee to juvenile - a good team spirit and the desire to win. Clinton is only one of a great many towns who have quit juvenile hockey , it's the easy way out - or there is a Jr. D team in the Town, When every one else runs, that's the time to walk. Last winter I thought that Clinton had a good midget team, but when three of the top players left for Jr,D, •it became just another team. Will wily Willy Weber grab a few more this winter? Perhaps even a few midgets? What will hap- pen to last year's midget team this year? A few advance far- ther - a few play Jr, C a few practice and 95 per cent sit out. - a few be willing to play old man's no body contact In- dustrial hockey and a few drop out. What do the M. H. O's think? Too much trouble to start a team - no coach available - no ice time - no interest? Juveniles - 17 and 18 years old - adults - cocky, loud, bossy, full of desire but too proud to show it - full of energy but too sophisticated to let it be known. If Clinton ever wants another Ontario Championship in hockey, the M.H. O's better start soon - maybe even at the novice level - keep a team together right up to the juvenile level - and try to get all hockey people to co-operate better. The Industrial Hockey has its own rules and runs one show, the Jr. D or Jr. C has another set-up, and Minor hockey has still a third. Less conflict between them all might even get more people playing hockey, The Clinton boys have what it takes to win an Ontario title in hockey too, if the men behind can agree on what is the most important aspect. It " seems to me that the one side is Minor Hockey, local, less show but win and the other Jr. C par- tly local, imports, glamour, show and make money. Dear Editor: As the hockey season draws near, referees are in demand, and again this year we are seeking men and women who would be interested in refereeing hockey. I am looking for people who have had experience in, refereeing and those who would be interested in learning. There are many referee's clinics around this year put on by the C.A.H.A. and the 0.M.H.A. which one has to at- tend to referee hockey. If anyone has had experience in refereeing that would like to referee or any boy or girl 14 years of age or older that would like to learn please contact myself, Pat O'Brien, referee-in- chief Hensall 262-2615 as soon as possible. There is a great opportunity for a hockey referee, as the N.H.L., W.H.L. as well as the O.H.A. are all looking for referees, but you have to start your training early. Even if you are still playing hockey the program set up by the C.A,H.A. can benefit you because you will know the rules of hockey. As I read the paper last week on the' "Comments of the Hockey Reports" I must agree with most of the comments made. I refereed a novice game in Exeter last year when one of the fathers from the visiting team yelled to his son to use his stick on his opponent after he was checked. There is no place for this kind of action in our arenas. If the parents and spectators keep this up maybe we should have a slogan like this: "Bring your boy to the arena, then leave, and pick him up after the game." I would like to propose to any group, (parents or spec- tators) if they would like to un- derstand the rules of hockey better and to know what the game of hockey is all about, I would gladly have a clinic for parents and spectators. Please contact me if any group is interested Clinton, .Seaforth, Exeter, Huron Park, as well as Hensall, Grand Bend and Zurich have the best Minor Hockey Associations in the' district. Every boy has the opportunity to play hockey, The coaches are becoming the best trained in Ontario, The referees in this area are all well trained too, To referee games, an official must have a card. Therefore he must attend these clinics to obtain one and he must attend every year. So every official is qualified to referee that game, and it is up to the coach or manager to check his card to verify this. A few rule changes which will be in O.H.A. games this year and most likely minor hockey will be that a butt end or spearing penalty will be a match penalty, this means that a player who receives one can't play again until the league says - so, and most likely there will be tougher penalty ,for high sticking in minor hockey games, In this area we have no problems as to violence, because we all work together and we have to work together to train our officials, coaches and parents to stop violence in our hockey games. This year let's cheer for the good plays and good sport- smanship and let's give the referee a pat on the back for he is doing a good job too. Pat O'Brien, Hensall, The Women's Auxiliary to the Clinton Public Hospital met in the board room on Sep- tember 9, with the president, Mrs, K. Harrett in the chair, At the present time, the Auxiliary has three major con- cerns - the operation of the new patients' T,V,'s, planning the upcoming Penny Sale, and con- sidering the installation of telephone jacks in patients' rooms. The patients have en- thusiastically received the ren- tal T.V.'s, and the auxiliary is • considering asking for more sets to be made available, At present, there are seven sets for rent. A committee has been ap- pointed to study the system of distributing the T.V.'s and of Tractor Club views slides The third monthly meeting of the Huron County 4H Tractor Club was held at G & E Machinery in Lucknow.
