Times Advocate, 1984-12-12, Page 24• 4A Times-Advoc te, December 12, 1984 Sports Spotlight By Ross Haugh The latest issue of the Hockey News carries the statistics of every player in the Nacional Hockey League and we thought it would be interesting to check on a variety of aspects of these after most teams had played 20 games, or almost one-quarter of the entire 1984-85 season. At the time of writing only three players had more than 100 shots on goal. Yes, you are right. Wayne Gret- zky was one of these with 107. He was tied for the top spot with Raymond Bourque of the Boston Bruins. The next best was Mark Gartner of the Washington Capitals with 106. Gretzky has 21 goals while Bourque has only scored five times and Gartner lit the red light 13 times. Gretzky's team-mate at Edmonton Yari Kurri seems to have the best goals record for the amount of shots taken. He has scored 22 times on only 68 shots. Mike Bossy who is having a tremendous year with the Islanders was the league goal leader at the time with 25 scores and he amassed that total on 88 shots at the opposition nets. In addition to Bossy and Kurri, only seven other players have taken less than four shots for each goal they have counted. These are Gil Perreault and Mal Davis of Buffalo, Richard Kromm of Calgary, Los Angeles King Brian MacLellan, Murray Craven of Philadelphia, Pitt- sburgh's Warren Young and Steve Larmer of Chicago. More Moon business While it has taken Warren Moon most of the NHL season to get rolling with the Houston Oilers, he has also started into business. He has opened a retail outlet called W. Moon's Chocolate Chippery selling chocolate chip cookies. Moon may be a rookie on the football field, but, he couldn't be called a cookie rookie. He has been at home in the kitchen for a long time thanks to the help of his mother and six sisters. Trade controversies Our two favourite ball teams the Detroit Tigers and Toronto Blue Jays were very quiet at the recent winter baseball meetings in Toronto, but they wasted little time a few days later. Both clubs made deals which has caused much con- troversy among their loyal supporters. The Blue Jays relinquished Dave Collins, their most valuable player in 1984 and reliable Alfredo Griffin in order to fill a big hole in the bull pen. In return they get the services of Bill Caudill from the Oakland A's. In Sunday's Toronto Star, Milt Dun- nell says the Jays were robbed in the trade. At first glance it appears they gave up a lot to get Caudill, but, good relievers are scarce as the Jays found out last year. Caudill with Oakland last year had an ERA of 2.71 and picked up 36 saves. That was the 4L's second best to Don Quisenberry of Kansas City and three more than the saves chalked up by the entire Toronto staff. According to Dunnell the loss of Collins and Grif- fin will hurt the Jays as much in the clubhouse as on the field. Collins was the team leader and the quiet, religious Griffin was a favourite of the Latin players. The Toronto -Oakland trade was set up by an earlier switch between the A's and the Yankees. Speedy Ricky Henderson goes to the Yanks, his spot will be filled by Collins and Jay Howell from New York will be the replacement for Caudill. The Jays had to also throw in some cash probably to take care of some of the high salaries they were pay- ing to Collins and Griffin. If Caudill lives up to his press clippings. 36 saves would probably be enough to make the Jays a real con- tender providing of course they can find replacements for the leadership and hustle of Collins and Griffin. In Oakland, Collins gives them an adequate replacement for Henderson. In 1984 Collins only stole six bases less than Henderson and played a lot fewer games due to Bobby Cox's platooning system. In Detroit, fans are questioning the logic in Sparky Anderson trading promising third baseman Howard Johnson for a starting pitcher Walt Terrell from the New York Mets. The reason for the deal was likely because the Tigers fear Milt Wilcox's arm is not as sound as they would like it to be. Tiger fans say the club brass should spend more time trying to re-sign their star reliever Willie Hernandez. - • Will overtime help? Doug Mitchell, the new commissioner of the Cana dian Football League is trying to get overtime approval for the 1985 season, but, with a different formal than that used in the NFL. Mitchell wants a full 15 minutes of overtime, not the sudden -death variety used in the United States. Since NFL sudden -death overtime started, the team winning the toss has ended the game 32 times before the other club got their hands on the ball. OIdtin,ers return Most members of the 1950 Lucan Irish, champions of the Cyclone hockey league were hack at the arena Sunday to attend the Cyclone trophy championship game which was part of the fifth annual Lucan Cup. A lot of the veterans looked as if they could don the blades again and still turn in a good brand of hockey. Congratulations go to Tom Hardy and his Lucan Cup executive in not only running an excellent tourna- ment, but, in organizing the afternoon and evening for the oldtimers. ® �. 11 Lucas Irish of 1950 return Cup Cyclone champs from Brooklin, Goderich The Brooklin Flyers of the Oshawa area took home the $1,000 cash prize and a dia- mond ring for each player as the result of their winning the grand championship in the weekend Lucan Cup Challenge.

The Hawks went into the week trailing the second place Lucan Irish by four points and now find that Seaforth have taken over the runner-up spot behind Tavistock. The locals trail the Centenaries by five points. Seaforth made the big move of the week as they won twice, with one of those vic- tories being over the front: running Braves. Exeter opened the week with a 6-5 loss to the Irish and then drubbed the Bothwell Barons 7-1. Lucan lost to Tavistock and Belmont on the weekend and have now played seven more games than the Hawks. Exeter also have three games in hand over Seaforth and four over Tavistock.

Mitchell on Tuesday, travel to Tavistock on Friday and finish the road outings in Bothwell and Thedford. Nipped by Irish Wednesday night's game in Lucan was one of the better played between the two locals clubs this season. It was a see- saw affair throughout until Brent Martin settled the issue with the only goal of the third period to give the Irish their 6-5 triumph. Exeter led 3-2 after the first, but Lucan enjoyed that same margin in the middle frame to send the teams into - the final stanza knotted at five each. Brent Fowles started in the net for Lucan and was yank- ed after a shaky first period in favor of Bart Powell. Ex - Peter also had some shaky net - minding with Pete Dearing out of the lineup. Kevin Oke started and was replaced by Jason VanHaarlen after Lucan's fifthgoalat the 13:39 mark of the second. The Lucan duo ended up with 45 saves, while the Hawks netminders recorded 27. Wayne Urbshott continued his scoring prowess against Exeter as he dented the twine twice and assisted on another. Ladies curling Chapman 10'2. J. Smith 3'2. S.
