Junior C Sailors select new head coach
Kent Phibbs of London eager
BY TED SPOONER
The Goderich Junior C Sailors haven't
found their saviour, said team president
John Iloy, but they have found their new
head coach, Kent Phibbs, 42, of London.
Phibbs, who lives in London and owns
his own graphic art company, Phibbs Inc.
in St. Thomas, has an extensive backround
in coaching.
Hoy said Phibbs is an enthusiastic per-
son who is eager to coach.
i'hibhs feels Jr. C is a good brand of
hockey • and he is looking forward to the
challenge of turning around the Sailors.
Ile said there is a good nucleus of players
nn'. -a -g-ood idget_prOgram to_draw on,
He prefers the finesse part of hockey but
hesitates to commit himself to one aspect
and said he will have to assess the
available talent before he decides on a
`vStevn
"If there are six footers on the -team we
will play more along the. boards. If the
team is small we will throw the puck
around more," he said.
"To build a hockey team you start with
goaltending and work your way out
( defense )," he said.
Phibbs likes to combine discipline and
teaching. Hoy said a lack of discipline hurt
the team last year and he hopes the new
coach can correct that.
The Sailors executive is one of the main
reasons he is coming to Goderich. He feels
they are dedicated to the team and are
willing to work hard to reach their goals.
'"I'he executive, especially John Hoy and
Ray hird:have Tone wtlat-it -takes "toturn
the team in the right direction," said
Phibbs.
Phibbs asked the executive to compare
the top 10 players on the Sailors with the
Thursday's raceway entries

to turn Sams around
top 10 players on other teams and was told
they were about in the middle of the pack.
That assessment convinced him the team
has potential. -
The Sailors will be offering a free hockey
school for area players of 'all ages Sept. 12
to 16 and Phibbs describes the school as a
positive and ambitious venture. He will at-
tend the school and discuss 'the team with
midgets who may want to play Jr, C.( for
more information on the hockey school see
column on this page).
In 1886-87 Phibbs coached the London
Jets "AAA" Major Bantams to a 32-15-7
record and a 5-0 Belleville Tournament
win.
The year before he coached the team to a
OMHA final berth against Brampton. In
84-85 he again took the team to the finals
against Brampton and won the Bluevvater
playoffs against the Chatham Sabres.
He has also coached Peewees (83-84 I ,
Midgets (81-821, Atoms (79-80) and a
Juvenile "B" team to the G.L.H.L. league
championship in 78-79. He was the general
manager of the Jr. B, Colonels and the
assistant coach of the Jr. C Colonels in
76-77.

Harness Horse racing, like any other
sport, offers fun and excitement not only to
the fans,, but also to the competitors. In the
case of horse racing the competitors con-
sist not only of the actual horse and driver,
but also of the people who work to get the
horse to the races. For instance, take a
look at Willoway Wendy the four year old
Dream Maker mare owned by Carl and
Grant Fisher.
The fan only sees the finished product, a
mare that can consistently pace and cross
the wire first. The fan sees the driver
Barry Graham, and when Graham handily
guided Willoway Wendy to her second win
in two starts, the fan naturally attributed
the successful win to the driver. But one
must rerriember that behind the scenes
work, the hours and care that the trainer
and grooms put into getting the horse to
the races. What it el boils down to, is that
when a horse wins, the win can be at-
tributed to a combination of careful train-
ing, grooming and driving. As a sport
harness racing offers much to the bettor
who likes the challenge of picking a winner
out of a field of seven; it offers excitement
to the interested fan who comes not to bet
but to watch; 'and it offers a moment of
pride to the owners, drivers and trainers of
the winning horses.
On Thursday July 9. it seemed that the
." ('anadian Seasons Champion Ruby Skye
heads Ontario Sires Stakes for two-year-
old filly trotters at Goderich Raeway
Thi.irsdi r fright.
Ruby Skye, trained by Bob Walker,
started this, her freshman campaign, with,
a win in track retard time in an OSS at
Barrie. Last week in an OSS at Flamboi'+-
she lowered the national seasons record to
2:03.3 in convincing fashion and appears at
this point to be at the top of her class. .
Ruby Skye heads a total of 20 two-year-
old filly trotters entered here today for an
horsemen who were smiling the most were
local horsemen, as six locally own-
ed/trained pacers posted wins on Thurs-
day night. Deep Run Super, a well known
horse to. Goderich fans, was guided to his
first win in three starts.
In the third race owner/trainer Don
Campbell's Bye Bye Tide out paced five
tough competitors to win. The trend of
local horses winning was continued in the
fourth, fifth and sixth races as Susan
White's Lucky Ross, Randy McLean's
Smartie Frances and Fishers' Willoway
Wendy all collected wins. Bob Daer finish-
ed off the night by steering John Shaddick
and Lionel Kloss' Tierra Del Fuego to his
third win in a row.
Other notable performances of the night
included two wins for Robert Campbell
and for Greg Darnell. Greg Darnell was in
the bike behind Spree Dol in the ninth and
feature race. Fit to be Tide cut the mile,
but Spree Dol proved to be too much, winn-
ing by four lengths in 205 I.
On Thursday July 16, the Ontario Sires
Stakes two year old filly trotters will be in
town. These high class competitors are a
treat to watch. Other horses to watch on
Thursday night are Willoway Wendy and

the seventh race.

The entrants have been split into three

ficult outside seven post position in her
race. Providing the competition in this
division will be Ruby Skye's entry mate N

It is so hot breathing works up a sweat
and opening a twist off cap is considered a
strenuous activity ( but not too stenuous) .
Editor Sykes wrote a column a while
back on how to beat the heat and his best
idea was to put your jock strap in the
freezer.
Radio disc jockeys play Christmas
carols in July and Beach Boys' songs in
February to help people cope with the
weather. • .
I would like you to think about hockey.
Try and get a mental picture of a frosty
arena and your breath coming out in
clouds as you cheer for your favourite
team while you flail your arms and stamp
your feet just to stay warm. Think about
wrapping your hands around a mug of hot
chocolate to keep your fingers from going
numb and that little ache that develops in
your earlobes,when it is very cold in the
arena. Feel ooler now? Does the idea
give you goose bumps ( remember them) ?
The Goderich Junior C Sailors will be
holding a hockey school at Memorial
Arena Sept. 12-16: The school is open to
players of all ages from.tyke all the way up

there is no charge.

the cost for each player is only $50. Accor-
ding to John Hoy, team president, a

$150 to $300.
Dave Wilkinson, of the Sailors, , said
McGee Pontiac and Buick has started the
ball rolling with a large donation to spon-
sor several players.
Dave's brother, Bill Wilkinson,; head
coach of Western Michigan 'University
Broncos, will be the head instructor at the
school.
According to . Wilkinson (Dave ) the
school will stress fundamentals such as
skating, passing and shooting with
Goderich minor hockey coaches providing
the instruction. Older players will be
taught some offensive and defensive zone
strategy. .
Goderich Ringette Association will also
be involved with a power skating sckiool for
the girls in ringette.
In addition, the Goderich Police and the
OPP will be conducting a drug 4w ireness
program at the school. They will be show-
ing a Kiwanis International film to help
educate players about the dangers of
drugs and to help coaches identify and help
players with drug problems.,
The school runs 9'a.m. to 10 p.m. Sat and
Sun., 4 p.m- to 10 p.m. Mon. and Ties: and
