Survey results
The latest issue of Hockey Scope outlines most of
the highlights of the recent Ontario Hockey Council
survey of parents.
Ontario Minister of Culture and Recreation
Reuben Baetz told survey organizers, "If the council's
recommendations are to mean anything at all. they
will have to be embraced by every youngster, parent
and hockey organization that is interested in making
sure that the hockey experience becomes a richer one
for our young people."
The Council's survey was designed to ask parents
of hockey playing youngsters their impression of
minor hockey in Ontario and to record their reactions
to proposed improvements.
A total of 78.754 questionnaires were distributed in
March and April. Of these 31,302 were returned. This
completion and return rate of 39.8 percent is con-
sidered very high as far as public surveys are concern-
ed
We will now pass on some of the highlights of the
preliminary findings as outlined in the recent Hockey
Scope.
Parents say more time should be spent on develop-
ing hockey skills. The vast majority, 94.3 percent
believe children under 10 should be learning skating.
passing and shooting rather than be travelling and
playing in a competitive schedule.
Parents also indicated they want more emphasis
on skating and puck control rather than body contact.
To make way for this new emphasis. parents say
they would support a re -organization of minor hockey
so their children would have at least one practice for
every game.
Parents were asked if they would support a ban on
body checking for boys of pee wee age of 10 years and
under. Of these 54 percent thought it would be a good
idea for associations across Ontario, including their
own. More than 65 percent felt it would be a positive
move for minor hockey across Canada.
Most parents. 82.3 percent. felt they themselves
create problems by pushing their children too hard.
Seventy-nine percent feel parents create problems by
their behaviour at games.
Parents expressed a desire for some form of
publication such as a parents minor hockey newsletter
which would provide more information about the sport
and the role they can play in it.
Most parents feel their youngsters have the time
to play competitive minor hockey and still be involved
in other activities.
About 75 percent feel their child is not required to
travel too far for games or practices. but 57 percent
said the cost of equipment was too high.
A majority. 71 percent supported certification
programs for minor hockey coaches.
While most parents think referees do a good job,
many feel this job has become more difficult.
Specifically. parents believe that verbal abuse of of-
ficials is increasing and they rate parents as the prime
offenders. Players and coaches rank second and third.
Most parents also want stick abuse penalities such
as slashing and high sticking called more often.
On the average. 76.1 percentofparentssaid there is
too much violence in minor hockey. but, only 41.6 per-
cent thought there was too much violence in their own
child's league.
Parents were presented with 20 potential problem
areas in minor hockey. They ranked the following five
as their top concerns.
The amount of intimidation and violent acts by
players of all ages: the education of parents about
minor hockey: knowledge of the rules by parents:
parent behaviour at games and time spent in prac-
ticing hockey skills.
When asked if minor hockey could be improved
parents said yes and the majority felt that currently
minor hockey places more stress on winning than on
recreation
Mitchell, Seaforth are next
Hawks bounced back into fourth place in junior 'D'
The Exeter Hawks were
bumped back into fourth spot
in the northern Junior "D"
grouping as they lost a pair
of tilts over the weekend.
The most costly loss was a
narrow 4-3 defeat at the
hands of Tavistock, Satur-
day. The win moved the
Braves one point ahead of
Exeter in the standings and
left the locals only a couple
ahead of Seaforth.
The other loss was a 7-4
verdict to the second place
Lucan Irish at the rec centre
on Friday.
This week -end, the Hawks
host their namesakes from
Mitchell on Friday and then
play host to Seaforth on
Sunday night in another
head-to-head struggle for the
final playoff spot in the
division.
Goaltender Jim Zimmer,
aided by some inaccurate
shooting, spelled the dif-
ference in the contest at
Tavistock. The Hawks fired
47 shots at Zimmer as they

A Blue Joy Winner
Alter three years of competition in the American
baseball league the Toronto Blue Jays have finally
come up with an individual award winner.
Alfredo Griffin. the Toronto shortstop who im-
proved throughout the season was named rookie of the
year in the Ameri1an league in a tie with
Most Blue Jay fans were enraged when their ace
relief pitcher Victor Cruz was traded to the Cleveland
Indians for Griffin.
That anger diminished day by day as Griffin shone
at shortstop and Cruz was far from sensational with
Cleveland. He ended the year with an earned run
average in excess of four.
'Additional honours came to the Blue Jays when
Griffin and second baseman Danny Ainge were named
to the league's rookie all star team.
If Danny Ainge decides to forego a professional
basketball career and returns to the Blue Jays in the
spring. the Toronto club will have one of the finest dou-
ble play combinations in baseball.
A Carter Coming
A prominent name in the United States will be one
of the celebrities attending the Exeter Lions club
Sportsmen's dinner in February.
A Carter is coming. No, it's not US president Jim-
my Carter. but. Montreal Expos catcher Gary Carter.
This brings to four the number of headline guests
for the seventh annual dinner. It will be held at the
South Huron Rec Centre on Tuesday, February 5.
The others are former New York Yankee Bobby
Richardson. Red Storey, one of the most controversial
referees in NHL history and Craig Baynham, formerly
of the Dallas Cowboys and Chicago Bears.
