The Newmarket goal keeper, Bernie Duguid, was opened up‘for three stitches over his right eye on a de- flected shot. Billie McVean, Richmond Hill Hornet net guardian was nicked for one stitch over the right eye. Neither injury was of a really serious nature, but masks would have made both injuries impossible. One fact which emerged very forcibly from the PeeWee hockey game last Friday night, is that young goal keepers definitely do need masks. The use of a mask should be mandatory before a goal keeper ever takes his position between the pipes. It is not a “sissyipractice”, but plain common horse sense. A r Opinion on masks in the NHL. is divided. Some people are for and some against, but both Don Simmons and Jacques Plante have uSed masks to good advantage. Coming a bit closer to home, there are two very good goal keepers in the Richmond Hill Mercantile League who wear masks, Lorne McLean and Albert Orr. Lorne McLean says that the mask has given him more con- fidence than he ever had before and that it has improv- ed his game. Albert Orr tells much the same story. These fellows are not “Sissies” by any stretch of the imagination â€"â€"- they are just plain smart. A goalkeeper has a tough enough job without taking any unnecessary chances. Masks are available for any goal keeper in the league so how about you coaches getting tough with your goal tenders and insisting that “no mask - no play”. Stitches don’t hurt that much, but they don’t add to any boy’s manly beauty either. 'â€"s SPORT SPOTS â€"- One of the most amusing things that these tired old eyes have seen for some time came in the squirt hockey game last Friday night. A rough, tough defenceâ€" man was skating backwards, lining up an attacking fior- Ward for a. rattling bodycheck and, of all things was busily chewing a wad of bubble gum and blowing bub- bles. How relaxed can you get? Boz Bastien played a 1016 of goal in the A.H.L. until one day, in practice, he lost his eye on a shot. Ask Bastien what he would think of wearing a mask. It’s too late for him, but not for YOU. So get wise and forget the hero stuff. No matter what anyone says. a clear plastic mask, doesn’t hamper vision very much, if at all. A glass eye doesn‘t seem to work too well for anything. -â€" SPORT SPOTS â€"â€" Last week we reported that the opening ceremonies ‘for the Curling Club would begin at 8.30 pm. on Janu- ary 25. This is in error as the time table has been re- vised and ceremonies will commence at 7.30 pm. All curling club members and interested parties please take note of the change of time and come out and enjoy a real Bobbie Burns Day celebration. One beef that you hear all the time is that the mask fogs up. So it does, but there is a preparation available for plastic masks that stops fogging altogether. -Ask to try a mask next time you go to play, that is if your cow‘h doesn’t remember it first â€" and I surely hope he does. â€" SPORT SPOTS â€" The Richmond Hill Redmen, local O.B.A. entry in basketball competition, just have no luck at all. They got a coach for a brief interval only to have said coach, Bruce Murray, transferred to the northern part of the province. Bruce has started with a new firm and all his friends wish him the best of luck in his new venture. A door prize was given to the holder of the lucky ticket number --â€" a very fine transistor portable radio, donated by the Gormiev Sand and Gravel Companyr Lim- ited. The winner was Mr. Harry Nabuurs of Oak Ridges. an emnloyee of Superior Sand and Gravel Company. Seemed sort of amusing at the time â€" still does in fact. The executive officers of the R.H.M.H.A. are to be complimented for the great entertainment provided and it could very well be that because of the evening a few more rabid hockey fans were born. One fact emerged, and very clearly too, Richmond Hill hockey teams are real contenders and well worth a little support. Mâ€" vIâ€"f 3&3}: Qeine one of those people who didn’t get to the arena last Friday, or if you did and would like to see a repetition of the fun, go to the Newmarket arena next Friday night, January 22, for the return match. Some usually staid and solid citizens found them- selves carried away by the enthusiasm of the young players and some plain and fancy hollering and loud cheering rocked the arena to the rafters. Those of you who were unfortunate enough to miss the big night may not understand, but the quality of the hockey was sur- prising and it just seemed as if every spectator let down his or her hair and just plain yelled: Last Friday night the old Richmond Hill Arena was rocked to its very foundations as well over 450 pe0p1e turned out to watch the display of the O.M.H.A. entries. They saw the Richmond Hill Putters, the squirt entry in action, followed by the PeeWees and finally the Ban- tame. 24 Elizabeth St. N. Richmond Hill GEO. McMURRICH SONS LIMITED 28 Industrial Rd.

Fifty-five seconds after the sec- ond period started, Jimmy Zu- beck broke into the clear to score unassisted. Less than one minute later at the 1.50 mark John Bookalam scored with the assist going to Gary Cnarity. At the three minute mark in the period, Bookaiam scored again with Gary Charity picking up an- other assist. Doug Acomb scored again for the Hornets at the 5 minute mark helped out by Paul Sullivan and Terry Stewart. Jim- my Zubeck finished the scoring in the second period at 8.15 on a pass from Scott Sheppard. New- market scored their first goal in the second period as Noel Edgar scored on a nice solo effort. Richmond Hill Juveniles 4 Alliston 2 The Richmond Hill Juvenile team visited Alliston last Friday night and came back with a 4-2 victory. This was somewhat of a surprise as Wick Mills' team was woefully understaffed as at least four regular members of the team chose to turn up missing. For- wards took their regular turn and then doubled in brass as de- fencemen as Coach Wally Stoth- ers really had to juggle his lines to achieve the win. There must be something about Alliston that the local boys don‘t like as the last time they played there, the team was short-handed, a school dance being preferred by many of the players. It was a rough game for goal- keepers. In the first period, Billy McVean, Hornets’ good goalie, was cut on the right eyelid. In the second period. Newmarket net-minder Bernie Duguid was cut over the right eye for three stitches and was forced to leave the game, with sub-goalie Pat Killoran taking over. Richmond Hill Hornets 3 Bradford 1 The Richmond Hill PeeWee team shaded Bradford by a 3-1 score in this game as Phil Dobbs found the range and scored all three goals for the Hornet team. Billy McVean continues to be out- standing in the Hornet net as he literally smothers anything that comes hls way. 7 The team is starting to work like a well oiled machine and their passing plays are starting to click well. Phil Dnbbs' first goal came on a nice pass from Terry Stewart with John Book- alam and Norm McLeod picking up_assis_ts on Dobbs’ second goal. If the Bantam team can keep up this high calibre play. they are going to be very hard to beat. The team now seems to have a real desire to win and are going to be a tough nut for any team to crack. The second N ewmarket goal was scored at 5.40 of the third period as Brian Jones scored un- assisted. The Newmarket team seemed to settle down in the third period and kept the Hornets from any further scoring, The third Hornet goal was scor- ed by Dobbs on a pass from Gary Charity with David Walsh also picking up an assist on the play. Gary Charity has turned out to be a really fine playmaker and is setting up his line-mates in truly efiectlve style. Mike Howard continued to blaze away from his point p051tion and Bill Adams got his stick on one of Howard’s mighty blasts to de- flect it into the cornei of the net. The play of the Richmond Hill defensive unit was a thing of beauty as they completely blanketed any form of organized attack. Bob Ritchie in the Rich- mond Hill net was up to his usu- al standards and came up with several great stops. Richmond Hill PeeWees 8 Newma‘rket PeeWees 2 . The Richmond Hill Hornets had the Newmarket team completely baffled for two periods. Their dominance of the game was very apparent in the second period as they seemed to score at will. Newmarket scored at the 6.10 mark of the third period as Rick MacLaughlin caught the corner to beat Bob Ritchie. At 10.50 of the third period, Bill Adams scor- ed his thlrd goal unassisted. New- market mounted their first or- ganized attack of the night and were rewarded with a goal by Brooke Broadbent at 11.45. .Anthony Crack. who played a brilliant defensive game. got a breakaway at the 12 minute mark and made no mistake as he pick- ed the corner beautifully The second period was score- less, but was featured by some terrific shots by Mike Howard from the right point, that missed by scant inches, If Howard can learn to keep the puck a little lower he should become another Boom-Boom Geoffrion. The second less, but was terrific shots from the right by scant inch learn to keep lower he shou Richmond Hill opened the scor- ing at 1.:50 of the first period as Adams scored from Rick Brad- shaw and Bob Munroe. Bill Ad- ams had two opportunities on breakaways only to shoot right into the netmlnder’s pads Adams finally caught the range for the second time as he cashed in a pass from Anthony Crack at the 9.30 mark. Richmond Hill Bantams 5 Newmarket Bantam 1 Bill Adams had himself a very large evening as he collected four goals in this game. The bespec- tacled forward seemed to be alâ€" ways in perfect position and be- sides the four he got, he missed two others on breakaway: as he was outguessed by the goal keep- er. Mike Howard showed that he has possibly the hardest shot in the league as he fired bullets from the point that missed by fractions of an inch. Even the boom as the puck hit the boards was impressive. - For Stair & Porch Rails, Grilles & Gratings, Fire Escapes Portable Welding & Repairs Newmarket scored their second goal at 4.35 of the third period as Trevor Boyd scored, assisted by John Hoar. The Richmond Hill team continued to carry the play and Jimmy Wilson rattled a shot off the post on a clean breakaway. The Putters finally hit the score sheet at 11.50 of the period as Jim Wilson sunk a shot on a pass from Midge Hiley. Newmarket Snulrts 2 Richmond Hill Putters 1 In their initial appearance on home ice the Richmond Hill Up- lands Golf Club Putters proved that they are a real hockey team. For the first three minutes of the game they seemed a little disor- ganized and confused but soon iettled away to playing good hoc- ey. In the first period, Midge Hiley scored on a breakaway only to have the effort nullified as a team mate went over the blue line off- side. The Putters seemed to have the best of the play but were un- able to finish 01? any plays around the rNewmarket goal. ' The first goal came at the 8.15 mark of the second period as Newmarket scored, Robert Wal- ton assisted by Ray Normandin. The Putters continued to press home a hard attack but could not score despite a marked edge in the play. to two goals going into the last period. But two very costly pen- alties, one to defense star Rit- chie Elliot and the other to San- dy Keith trusty wing man cost the Hill club two goals. It was a fine game from a spectators point of view with plenty of fast clean, hockey. The Blueliners played well for this one and the New- market club had better be on their toes for the next game. Don Laurie was outstanding in the Hill net with Bruce Walker, Glenn Hooper and Dean "Drain- pipe" Wainwright going hard both ways. The lone Blueline tal- lv came in the second period on a fine play from Hooper to Walker to Wainwright who blasted it past the Newmarket goalie. In this, ,their first game on home ice. the Putters proved to be a strong team and only some bad luck around the Newmarket goal kept the game from ending in a tie. Ron Hogarth performed well in the Richmond Hill net as did his opposite number. Don Clark for Newmarket. Two players were particularly eye-catching with their exhibition of skating and stick handling. Dave “Midge” Hiley was all over the ice while Bruce Goddard of Newmarket displayed great speed and stick handling ability. STUART PAXTON WIRING LINE won: Electrician See Richvale Ornamental Iron Works The third Richmond Hill goal was scored by Jimmy Lawson, with the Johnny-in-the-spot Bill Adams picking up the assist.

Newmarket Midgets strength- ened their stranglehold on first place in the North York hockey league as they dropped Rich- mond Hill Blueliners by a four to one count. The last time these two teams met, Newmarket won by a lop sided 9 to one score, but the Bluellners fought like tigers and held the Newmarket club Newmarket 4 Blueliners 1 Ricky Bradshaw produced two very fine goals assisted on the first one by Bill Adams and scor- ing the other one unassisted. Bradshaw picks up scoring points in practically every game. either goals or assists. Rick is a work horse type of forward who not only rushes well. but back-checks all the way. Richmond Hill Bantams 3 Unlonvllle 0 On Monday January 11. Bob Ritchie, star goal tender of the Richmond Hill Bantams. gave another sensational performance in Unionville to come up with an- other fine shutout. Time after time, Rapid Robert frustrated Unionville attackers as some of his saves were absolute robbery. If Ritchie can keep up his good work, the Bantams team could go a long way in the 0.M.H.A. play- downs. ed at the 22 second mark, assist- ed by Gord Pipher and Jim Rush- low. Alliston tied the game up at 9.35 with Paul Brisby scoring assisted by "Red" Storey. Gord Pipher put the Richmond Hill team out in front at 17.27 of the second period with assists going :0 Eddie Garner and Jim Rush- ow. The only goal of the third per- iod was scored by Brian Atkin- son from Bobby King at 9.42. Harry Goodmakers in the Rich- mond Hill goal gave another fine performance and but for his steady play the Hill team would have had real trouble.
