Fighting in the NHL is on last
legs and should
One of the biggest issues in the
NHL today is whether or not fighting
should be a part of the game.
It has been a part of the game for a
long time and some people would-
n't have it any other way.
However, with the recent death
of Don Sanderson, it begs the
question: Is it worth keeping the
fisticuffs around?
I think, like many
Canadians, fighting should
bow out of the game
because even though fight-
ing can draw a crowd, fans
should be there for the hock-
ey itself.
rm a hockey fan and I'd be lying if
maid 1 didn't like a good fight, but I
doti't think it's worth someone get-
ting seriously injured or killed.
There is the argument that taking
fighting out of the game will make
room for more skilled players. -
With the absence of the big bruis-
ers,
ruisers, it could theoretically make for a
faster, more highly skilled game.
Does that take away from the
Canadian game of hard hitting, rough
and tough hockey? -
I don't thinrit does, because big or
be phased out
small, if one is taught the proper way
to hit, anyone can deliver a punishing
hit.
If one wants to see an example of
Canada's skilled game, they,-'
should have watched the recent
World Junior tournament.
The Canadian Junior team
was all about speed ` and skill
and hitting was something that
complimented their game.
A big hit at the right time
is just as effective for pump-
ing up a team as a fight.
The way the game is called
today is another reason fight-
ing isn't needed. It ` allows the skilled
player to manoeuvre around the ice
without being manhandled and with
the instigator rule, it's just a matter of
time before fighting is phased out of•
the game. . .
It might be a sad for some fans if
fighting is taken out of the game, but
I think what will happen is the scor-
ing will go up and the game of hock-
ey will be better for it. -
Instead of just one Sidney Crosby
or Alex . Ovechkin type players in the
league there may be a handful of
equally talented players. *
Should wird turbines be used?
Dear Editor,
Shall we fight installation of wind
turbines or do . we want the
best alternative to fossil o the
fuel? We must do some-
thing to save the world for
our grandchildren.
'An American scientist, Mr. Mark
Jacobsen, has stated "Wind Power is
clearly the best renewable energy
source".
A . US survey conducted by
Standford University where the vari-
ous alternatives to fossil fuel have
been ranked, have wind turbines as the
least harmful to humans.
Wind is certainly the best of all
energy sources when it comes to
replacing fossil fuels compared to
their relative CO2 emissions and in
proportion to their equity interest to,.
our health. Mr. Mark Jacobsen's study
is published in Research Magazine
Energy and Environmental Science.
Mr. Jacobsen is aware that his study
will not be received eagerly, but he
believes it is- necessary to have it be
said loudly. We must be sure that we
do not focus on the wrong alternative
to fossil fuel.
Ethanol -based bio fuelswill actual-
ly cause more harm'to health, nature,
water and agricultural envi-
ttor tonment than today's fossil
fuels. Mr Jacobsen devel-
oped a ranking of energy
sources sorted by similarity to the ben-
efit to environment and health. The
rankings are: wind power; concentrat-
ed solar power (solar power caught in
a mirror and sent to an energy tower);
geothermal; tidal wave energy; solar
cells; electricity from man made lakes
and water turbines; waves; nuclear
power; coal-fired plants with CO2
absorption filters; bio fuelsfrom corn;
and bio fuel from cellulose (pulp-
wood).
Mr. Jacobsen has compared the the-
oretical situation where each source
would be the only one that would sup-
ply the entire USA fleet of cars and
trucks.
The one example is growing of corn
for ethanol production which would
require 30 times the production land
than wind turbines would occupy.
