The Wingham Advance-Times, 1984-11-07, Page 121 Page 12 -The Wingham Advance -Times, Nov. 7, 1984 owick timists sponsor hockey, ringette SChl,TiIS GORRIE - The ice sur- face of the Howick Com- munity Centre is dotted with young would-be Gretzkys - Pre -tykes, some as young as your years old. "Green Light," barks the instructor. They're off, some literally trying to run on their blades, not yet having mastered the technique of gliding. "Red Light." Some manage to get stopped in time. Some simply topple over. The ones caught moving are sent back to the goal line to start over. One youngster sticks out. He's right on the instructor's tail and he isn't moving a muscle. The instructor on him. "Did you move? Did he move? Are you moving?" Head lowered, the little guy is as solid as the rock of Gibraltar. The instructor grins, "He didn't move." The old Red Light, Green Light game is one that is favored by Brian Cressman of Kitchener, head ice in- structor, for children as young as these participating in a special kind of hockey school. "Above all," says Mr. Cressman who when he isn't an ice instructor teaches school, "it has to be fun." The hockey school has been in existence for about 10 years. It is the brainchild of Don McKee, formerly of Kurtzville and now of Kit- chener. "It stresses the skills and fundamentals of the game," says Mr. Cressman. "The game" in this hockey school at Howick Com- munity Centre includes ringette as well as hockey. "This is the first year we've had something special for the girls," says Paul Statia of Wroxeter, a member of the Howick Optimist Club- which is sponsoring the school. "In previous years the girls who played . ringette participated in our power skating program along with the boys." Paul Statia grins, "Sometimes it wasn't too satisfactory. I remember one time my daughter coming home to tell me about having to slide across the blue line. She pointed out the girls didn't have special chest protection and the boys didn't have what girls have to worry about. `It hurts, dad,' she told me." The hockey and ringette school for all ages from Pre - tyke to Midget is a new venture for the Howick Optimists and is costing the club $3,500, or $28 per athlete for ice time and the in- structor, The same program for youngsters in Kitchener costs each player $30 and in other communities can cost as much as $40 per player. "We haven't asked for a cent from parents," said Mr. Statia. "We thought it was something we could offer to help out the youth of the community." Paul Statia says he's impressed with the school. "Besides being fun and teaching youngsters the skills of the game, there are a lot of drills being used and I know the coaches are going to be able to make use of these in training throughout the year." Mr. Statia says there are approximately 120 boys and girls taking the hockey and ringette school which was conducted at the Howick narrows in arena during the evenings for a solid week from 5 to 10 p.m. and on a Saturday from 1 to 8 p.m. "The people running it have brought along a number of assistants - more than we expected," Mr. Statia said. Accompanying Mr. Cressman for the hockey school on the evening of Oct. 24 were Kenny Ellacott, a goalie specialist who played pro -hockey for five years in the Vancouver area, and another ice instructor, Roger Kropf, who is also a school teacher. Another schh1 teacher, Dave Henry, was in charge of the ringette school and brought two players from his Kitchener Jr. A ringette team to assist him. According to Mr. Henry, the game of ringette is a demanding one. "It's a quicker game than hockey and the players have to be more agile - lateral agility is especially im- portant in ringette." Mr. Henry says girls who play ringette have better skating' and stick -handling ability than do boys of the same age who play hockey. During the week, the man who wrote the textbook for the hockey school, Don McKee, also took his turn instructing. Mr. McKee's book, "Teaching Hockey Skills", published by Hockey On- tario, is available by writing to Hockey Ontario, 1220 Sheppard Ave. East, Willowdale, M2K 2X1. Back on the ice the Pre - tykes are still struggling to learn the skills of the game of hockey, much to the delight of a number of onlooking parents. "Two nights ago they couldn't stand up. They had to push around chairs," says one man proudly. So while the ice is spotted by tots trying to get back on their feet, there isn't a chair in sight. And as far as the little guys and their parents are concerned the com- munity can chalk the first marker of the season up to the Optimist Club of Howick. Peewees win three in a row The Howick Pee Wees traveled to Mildmay last Thursday for an exhibition match. The Howick lads built up a 2-1 lead after one period of play.

By Peter Bauer The Hanover Barons remain in the class of the Central loop of the OHA Junior C hockey league. After defeating the Ironmen 9-5 in Wingham Sunday, the Barons retain their un- defeated title and improve their record to eight wins in eight games. The Barons proved very tough competition in the grindingly physical mat- chup. The hitting was hard and heavy and the Barons came out flying. • The visitors took a 2-1 lead Nicholson teamed up for Wingham as Nicholson deflected a Cameron pass by goaltender White. Troy Pocaluyko narrowed the gap to 4-3, converting a Rick Scrimgeour pass from the corner as Scrimgeour did most of the work by lugging the puck back into the Baron zone, then feeding Pocaluyko a good pass while he was parked on the lip of the crease. Paul Robinsoh tied the. score at 4-4 on a shot from close 'range before Coultes after the first period on goals by Paul Nixon and Chris Ahrens, but late in the period Kevin Coultes narrowed the margin, beating Scott White from the left side by firing through the pads on a sharp, angled shot: The Barons upped their lead to 4-1 as Chris Ross and Steve Reay connected early in the second period. They appeared well on their way to a rout, but the Ironmen caught fire before the end of the period to end it at 5-4 in their favor. Brett Cameron and Steve gave the Ironmen the lead on a short-handed effort with 2:02 remaining in the second, deflecting a Rob Willis shot. Unfortunately the Ironmen were completely bottled up by the Barons in the third period• as their opponents roared back to score five unanswered goals and dominate the play. The Ironmen played in their own zone for close to 15 minutes of the period. Ross began the Baron comeback with a short-handed effort and then added two more goals later in the period to give him a total of four goals for the afternoon. Tim Davis and Peter Irwin added singles to round out the scoring and make the final score 9-5 in Hanover's favor. The Barons appear to be strong in all departments and indeed will be tough to beat. The Ironmen proved they can score goals, but they played only one solid period of hockey and were victimized by one mediocre period and a complete let- down in the third. Rob Schistad had a bad day, letting in some questionable goals, but with the barrage of shots he faced still made a number of big saves. The Barons held a decisive edge in shots -on - goal, outgunning the Iron - men by a 46;30 margin. The Ironmen will have a big weekend ahead of them and will hope to regain some ground on the Barons and stay with the rest of the closely -knit pack. They travel to Clinton this Friday evening for an 8:30 start against the Mustangs and then host the Port Elgin Bears Sunday afternoon at 2:30 in Wingham. David Craig won $45 in the 50-50 draw.
