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. ® �.

Hawks lose junior 'D' ground
The Exeter Hawks lost
ground in the battle for se-
cond place in the northern
division of the Junior "D"
loop as they managed a split
in their two outings this week.
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.
The Hawks won't enjoy the
confines of the rec centre un
til December 28 as they em-
bark on a five -game road
series -that starts this Friday
night in Seaforth. They'll ix' in.
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.
