The third major recommendation in the
report deals with the role of parents. Some
parents, a minority, thankfully,'are aggres- : `
sive at games and encourage conduct
which, under normal conditions they would
deplore. At games, they can be heard
imploring their youngster to hit, to fight or
even shockingly, Yelling "kill him", They
heap scorn on the referees and make" life
miserable for the coaches and even for
their own youngsters.
The sociologists can debate the reasons
for over aggressive play. These parents
think: they are preparing: their boy to go the
NHL or are merely reliving their On hopes
and aspirations through their youngsters.
What is obvious is that this kind' of •,;
conduct causes many kids to quit hockey.

Mantel's port recommends educating.
parents on what is expected of the players,
the hilosephy of the coach, and the rules.:,

greatly: Informing parents of how slim, the
chances ace of reaching the Big Apple - the
NHL - would help to foster a new. set of
values in parents that would Moth help the
players develop and - improve the value of
the game as an, outstanding recreational
activity. A better knowledge of the rules
would, help the parentsunderstand the
game better. .
Organization
A• final rec ommendatien of the' report is
that -the government appoint a commission-
ec of hockey with a mandate to establish a ,
hockey bodit; having "tie authority 'to
co-ordinate all hockey in Ontario with the
exception of professional- 'hockey. An
umbrella or parent body to Bever•=:all of
,hockey -in Ontario would ensure coherent
direction and efficient administration of all
organized hockey in the province.
Once the umbrella group is established
,the commissioner will be responsible for
hockey development and administration in
the: province,• with, the objective ...of
establishing uniform programs for coach-
es, referees and trainers. Government
funding' would be•.provided for the

The creation of a single umbrella group
would make a number of long overdue
changes possible.
: Changes would include:
1. education of coaches, referees, trainers;
players and parents from the same .set of
values
2. consistent rules and refereeing across
the •province
3. more uniform skills trainingboth on and
off the .ice
4,; mandatory , reporting of accidents,

6. control of the number of games played,

opment.
Amateur. 'hockey officials, are . shirking •
their responsibility to curb ,violence in the
game, says Attorney General Roy. McMur-
try. , But McMurtry . told the . legislature
Friday despite the problem, government
should "not play therole of Big Brother"
by getting,. involved' in the'day-to-day
operation of amateur sports.
McMurtry was responding to questions
froin NDP house leader Elie Martel, ,a critic
of violence in amateur :hockey, who
completed a task force report on hockey -
violence, Play It Safe, which was released
in July. Martel's report is highlighted in a•.'
special report in today's Sentinel. • •
Martel told the 'legislature that, an

'Martel in the report, to suggest brat
