Clinton News-Record, 1984-10-24, Page 14PAGE 14-4. l N iws-RE B , WE1o[F,i . ,Z, It '"TOBER 24,1984 ports From tha stands /8�► Anne Narejko Mixed leagues may be the answer 'he Canadian Amateur Hockey Associa- tion passed a rule this year stating that girls under 1? -years -old can play on boys' hockey teams if there are no girls' teams available. In this area, there are no girls' teams available. Girls playing' hockey on boys' teams is a subject I have mixed emotions on. Growing up. with two brothers gave me the chance to play football, baseball, soccer and hockey with guys. I always had a good time playing as it provided a challenge, seeing if the females could keep up, or out do the guys. And if we lost, it really didn't matter because guys are suppose to be better then girls. Or so they thought. However, this cannot quite compare with competitive sports between girls and boys of the same age because I was the "little sister." No one was rough or aggressive with me. One neighbor had a rink in his back yard for a few winters; and a group of us, both male and female and around the same age, would play hockey for hours. But there weren't boards to be bounced off or playoffs to make. BEST RATE No fees- Guaranteed to '60,000 21,4 1 year ABC ANNUITIES 53 West St., Goderich 524-2773 Collect The word "league," be it house league or not, has competitiveness attached to it. The fact that there are playoffs to be made and trophies to win give it that stigma. A fun game on Sunday between some friends is what I consider non-competitive. On ,the other hand, if a girl really wants to play hockey, and there are no girls' teams available, why shouldn't she be allowed to play on a boys' house league team? If given the chance, I'm sure some girls could be bet- ter hockey players than some boys. As for body contact, girls can take a good thump- ing too. The final' 'decision should be left up to the people involved; the boys, the girls and the coaches. Ofcourse parents must sign for the children, giving their consent, but when it Ames down to it, it is the children who will be affected. In the past, girls who've wanted to play hockey have hidden their identity. One ex- ample is Abby Hoffman, head of Sport Canada. When she was nine -years -old she played in a Timmy Tyke Tournament. Closer to home is the celebrated Young Canada Pee Wee Tournament held in Goderich every year. They have had teams bring in girls who played net as well as for- ward. Maybe what is needed is Mixed leagues, as well as all male leagues. That way boys could play in their accustomed grouping, others could play in a mixed league and girls would have the opportunity to join in. In some communities there may not be enough girls to make up a league, so add some boys who want to play hockey with girls.
