While- there may be some virtue in the old
axiom that it is .better to let a sleeping dog lie.
we feel the unfortunate incident surrounding the
pnior hockey situation in Exeter warrants sonic
comment.
It is not our intention to take sides with
either the Exeter ;Minor Hockey Association or
former coach Reg McDonald, as we feel they both
have erred to some extent and the resulting am-
xnosity is certainly not worthy of sportsmen and
is a detriment to hockey in Exeter.
It is regrettable that Beg decided to throw
131 'the towel, because he was to be commended for
taking over the team in the first place. At the
time of his decision it appeared very doubtful if
there would be a junior puck squad this year, and
coupled with the withdrawal of the Mohawks, this
would have been bad for hockey in Exeter.
*-7:7 We wholeheartedly agree with his reason-
ing that it is this age group that really need the
hockey because there is little recreation afford-
ed for them and they appear more prone to get
into trouble than their younger cohorts.
• The former puck star realized that this
year's team potential was not as high as in pre-
NiettS seasons, but there was every indication that
there were several good young prospects coming
along who should be given the opportunity to
play in an effort to develop their abilities.
Unfortunately perhaps. two or three of the
young players who were counted on to give the
Hawks a contending team were still of midget
age and this eventually led to the trouble that
has cropped up,
WHOSE DECISION IS IT?
One of the youngsters caught between this
cross-fire was Gary Parsons, a promising prospect
who has had NI-IL trials and according to Mc-
Donald, was advised by these teams to y junior
hockey.
This is quite understandable as any player
has more of an opportunity to develop if he plays
in stiffer competition and has to exert himself
at all times to stick with the older and more ex-
perienced players in this calibre,
Proof of this reasoning can be found in the
fact that most NHL players were graduated to
junior "A" and "B" ranks while they were still
of juvenile and midget age.
Coupled with the fact that there are 40
midget age players in Exeter, it would appear only
natural that Gary and one or two of his cohorts
could be graduated to the. junior team without
causing any undue hardship on the midget squad.
However, members of the EMHA have
hopes of the local midgets copping a championship
this year and naturally they are backing some of
their hopes on the starry performance of Parsons*
enobert Marchildon and Mike Cushman, all who
have played with the Hawks.
While it would be good to see an Ontario
championship squad produced in Exeter, we don't
give our entire support to the theory of some
members of the EMHA that it would be a "tre-
mendous thing" for the town.
After all, we have had championship ball
and hockey teams in the past and we haven't been
forced to stand at the entrance to the town with
clubs to beat off industries and tourists who were
attracted by the "name" we have built up and ad-
vertised in sporting circles.
BACKED BY REGULATIONS
McDonald reported to us that the EMHA
wouldn't let Parsons sign with the Hawks, and
backed by OMHA rulings, they did have the power
to stop him as he has to obtain a release before
he can jump up.
We could be wrong, but owe don't think
there was ever an EMHA meeting called to dis-
cuss this situation and the verdict to make Gary
sign with the midgets came from the independent
decision of .one or two of the members,
Ree Director Boom Uravelt was criticized
by Reg as being instrumental in forbidding Par-
sons to sign with the juniors. This could be true,
but we are afraid that Boom's decision was un-
fortunately based more on the fact he is coach-
ing the midget squad, rather than as the director
Of recreation in Exeter.
Some of . the other members on the EMIL\
may also have had their reasoning clouded slight-
ly as well, because three of them have sons playing
on the midget squad and they quite naturally
would want to see the boys go all the way.
However* looking at the subject purely on
its merits, one would have to take stock and con-
sider what the prime purpose is in sponsoring
hockey. And, in our opinion, it is basically to give
as many boys as possible an opportunity to play,
hockey.
• Therefore we would haver: to come to the
conclusion that if some of the midgets ‘vere need-
ed to form a junior team to keep the other 10 or
12 in hockey; and if there are 40 kids Who can
play midget, then the two or three better midget
players should be graduated without further
:question.
COULD BE SETTLED AMIABLY'
Unfortunately, Although all this may appear
highly complex, it could have been settled very
easily if the EMHA and the Hawk sponsors had
only sat down and discussed the situation instead
of waging this miniature battle behind the scenes.
The OMBA and 011A rules and regulations
are set up in such a manner that they afford a
great deal of leeway and fit the local situation
very well.
Me rules point out that, all the midget
players could sign with that category and can still
play all the junior games they wish until January
1. After this time they are allowed to play three
more games in the higher category before they
are ruled ineligible for midget play.
It would be our suggestion that this is what
should be done and if it is found that, the Itawks
have PO opportunity whatever of making the play-
offs, or if the midget players aren't faring very
well, then they shouldn't have their midget status
curtailed.
With the three game lever, oilier' midgets
could have been moved up on a shuttle basis so
MO Hawks could have had enough players at each
gam0 to Maintalti their interest and rho midi et3
