Apparently the OHA Junior 'D', league does and all the teams seem to want to change it. Representatives from 17 of the 18 teams, including the Exeter Hawks and the Lucan Irish, recent - !y met here to hash over ideas to- wards improving the league's im- age. Wellesley did not attend. "A lot of them think it should be changed. In years past, Junior 'D' was probably known as a goon league and it's pretty hard to shake it," said Lucan manager Ken Free- man. The label goon league, meaning it's just a group of teams that like to brawl, could have steered Park- hill away from entering the league. "Parkhill knows nothing about Junior 'D' hockey and stated they didn't want to play because it was goon hockey," said Freeman. He added they will be observing the league this winter and if con- vinced it's not a goon league, could be joining in 1992-93. Ideas which were presented in an attempt to change the image was =each team would display other teams in their division on their let- ter head. Also giving hats to each new player which joins the team. Freeman said OHA president Brent Ladds even suggested the 'D' could stand for development. 'How- ever, the league is not all younger players, but a mixture of those un- der and over 17 years -old. "Most of the teams that win have an even mix of each. If they want a development league you have to have younger players," said Free- man. Last season, the league switched from a three to a two division with nine teams in each. It was suggest- ed having a home -and -home format with the other division. "A lot of the teams thought it would cost too much for travel so we're going to stay the same." Freeman added the league is looking at drafting up their own constitution and also will investi- gate the possibility of removing the red lint. MOTORISTS' RIGHTS Driving Is a privilege.
