Reaume never did seem to have the confidence of the Leaf brass and wore his hockey pants out on the bench. If last Saturday night’s game is any criterion, Reaume will be getting a regular turn on the Detroit defence and his play would seem to merit the promotion. Kelly, while seeming a little out of place at centre for a while, seemed to spark the Leafs’ great scoring drive in the third period. The Kelly, Mahovlich, Ehman line was flying at times and, when they get used to each other, should be a potent line for sure. Seems like everyone concerned is very happy with the new deal. â€" SPORT SPOTS â€" Tubby Barrow, vice president of the R.H.M.H.A. has only the highest praise for those whose efforts made last Friday’s hockey night so successful. As Tubby says, “No matter how hard the‘ convenors of such a night work, it is the people who sell the tickets who make the night a success. As vice-president of the league, I would like to thank all those who helped in no small measure to make the venture so successful. â€" SPORT SPOTS â€" In the last two weeks, two hockey teams operating in the R.H.M.H.A. have had to forfeit games that they had won, due to illegal substitutions from the bench. The kids don’t make their own substitution, and it seems rough that they should be the ones to sufi’er due to a misunderstanding of procedure on the part of an adult. It is possible that some coaches are not as con- versant with league rules as they might be, and this should be an easy situation to rectify. When you are working with kids of this age, it is nice to win but not by disregarding rules â€" a little character building is also an essential part of the whole business. â€" SPORT SPOTS -- Tickets for the hockey nights at Richmond Hill Arena are being sold farther and farther afield. The winning ticket on the transistor radio belonged to a Mr. T. M. Hunter of 16 Rosedale Road in Toronto. Some tick- et salesman is doing a really good job. â€" SPORT SPOTS â€"â€" It is indeed an ill wind that blows nobody good. The tempest in Detroit that saw Red Kelly end up in 3. Leaf uniform and Marc Reaume wearing 3. Wing suit has blown out. Both men seem to have benefitted from the swap. 12 THE LIBERAL, Richmond Hill, Ontario, Thursday, Februaryr}87, ,It is hoped that one more big hockey night can be held before hockey bows out for the year. There is no- thing easy about running an event like this and the executive of the R.H.M.H.A. can be justly'proud of the great job that has been done. Congratulations fellows on the way you are selling hockey in Richmond Hill. Garry Edmundson, while not as well known as some of the other Leaf players, endeared himself to all the children in the place. He seems to love kids and Was not too busy or too anything to sign autographs or exchange a few words with the small fry. He gave out enough autographs to paper a good sized room and won himself a host of new admirers. As a public relations man, he does a terrific job for‘ professional hockey. May- :e we will be lucky enough to have him back again some- ime. , Johnny Gropp and Dennis Acomb, both students of the local hockey school and dressed in Putter uniforms made the presentation and handled the job well. The sight of these two kids, neither one of them higher than a grasshopper’s knee, skating out in' full equipment was one that won’t be forgotten for a long, long time. At the end of the first period in the Ri‘ Unionville game, Gerry James and Garry were called [to centre ice and two moppets i1 regaliarpresented then} with bouquets of rt Two boys who received sticks from James and Ed- mundson were more than a little surprised. A very nice gesture saw sticks go to Jim Morris, leading scorer for the visiting Brampton Lions Squirts and to Bob Paul, leading scorer of the Unionville Pee Wee team. The ex- pressions on the faces of these kids was absolutely priceless: _ . . . . .. ‘. . 1 -vnn Gerry James and Garry Edmundson of the Toronto Maple Leafs made a brief but pleasant visit to the scene of action. Their first duty was the presentation of auto- graphed hockey sticks to the leading scorers in the R. H.M.H.A. and the recipients of the sticks were more than a little thrilled. Dave Brodrick, the leading scorer in the Jr. A series received a stick, as did Mike Engler, top man in the A.H.L. series. Steve Saunderson won a stick by being the leading scorer in the NHL. and Duane Patfield was high man in the Minor loop. ‘-,‘, ,, At least 400 people were in attendance at the Arena to watch the kids in action. Four hundred people is very good as crowds go .in Richmond Hill and the noise they can generate in the small building is deafening. For 25c spectators got a good look at some stars of hockey of the 1970 era and got a chance to win some good door prizes as well as holler just as loud as they felt like. If that isn’t a good two-bits worth, then what is? The Richmond Hill Hockey Association has done it again. It didn’t seem possible that they could produce a smash hit hockey night twice in a row but last Friday night dispelled any and all doubt. .‘ o SPORT SPOTS e â€" SPORT SPOTS â€" by Ron ’ Craine Richmond Hill- ‘ry Edmundson s in full hockey ' roses. Richmond Hill Hornets 3 Unionville l In an exciting contest Craigies managed to outscore Pop’s four goals to three. Pop’s goal keeper, Al Orr played an outstanding game as he stopped numerous close-in drives by Craigie for- wards who were in on him time after time. Pop’s who did not have as many scoring chances made most of their opportunities. John Drummond, Jeff Jones, Gord Pattersn, and Stan Thorn- ington shared the winners goals. Jeff Jones also picked up a pair of assists. Pop’s scorers were Hugh Kerr Bill Fleming, and Gord Percy, Jim Neal had two assists. 2nd Game Allencourt 7 Dobby’s 3 Dobby’s is the new sponsor for the Stevenson crew of old but it didn’t change matters as they were defeated by the league- leading Allencourt team. Allen- courts held a commanding lead throughout as Dobby's scored all Billy McVean made three key saves in this game to thwart the Unionville bid for a win or a tie. On two breakaway plays Billy outguessed the opposing for- wards and came up with brilliant stops. The Hornets had the better of the play all the way but some erratic shooting around the Un- ionville goal was all that kept the score from going higher. Scott Sheppard opened the scoring on‘ a brilliant solo effort at the 2.45 mark of the first per- iod. Scott got a partial breakaway and made no mistakes in beating the Unionville netminder. Rich Chalkin blasted a hard shot from the left point that Rod Mabley deflected at the 6.00 mark of the first period. 7 lst Game Craigies 4 Pop’s Restaurant 3 The second period was score- less as' both goalkeepers rose to great heights and made some very fine scores. Phil Dobbs op- ened the scoring again at 3.45 of the third period on a nice unas- sisted effort. A minute and fif- teen seconds before the game ended, Bob Blough scored for Unionville as McVean finally yielded a goal with the Union- ville team applying terrific pres- sure. Richmond Hill Hornets 5 Unionville 2 The Hornet line of Scott Shep- pard, Roddy Mabley and Jimmy Zubeck has become a very‘pro- ductive goal scoring unit as they scored three goals in this game played at Unionville. The first goal of the game was scored by John Bookalam assist- ed by Gary Charity and David The first goal of the game was scored by John Bookalam assist- ed by Gary Charity and David Walsh. The Sheppard, Mabley, Zubek line scored their first goal of the night with Scott Shep- pard scoring. assisted by Rod Mabley and Roddy Grupp. John Bookalam scored his se- cond goal of the night assisted by Phil Dobbs and Norm McLeod. The fourth goal was scored by Scott Sheppard assisted by Mab- ley and Zubek and then reversed things for the fifth goal as Jim- my Zubek scored assisted by Mableyfl rand Sheppard. Bill McVean, Hornet goalkeep- er, seems to have the happy knack of making key saves. Bill is as cool a customer as you can find and refuses to be suckered into making the first move. His steady performane has had a lot to do with the Hornets winning their last five straight games. The Hornets have four games left in the regular schedule, a home and home series with Au- rora and Newmarket. At‘ the present time Newmarket and Richmond Hill are in a tie for first place and the final results could well hinge on the last two games of the regular season. [e Mercanti/e flocLey There was another big hockey night in Richmond Hill last Friday when Maple Leaf stars Garry Edmundson and Gerry James attended and received an enthusiastic welcome from players and 1960 Maple Leafs Visit Town Ron Dafoe, Tom Byberg and Roy Fox scored for the losers.

Allencourts were helped consid- erably by the fine goal-tending of Don McMillan and outsanding defensive play by Moe William- son. Matt Kinnari scored twice while Charlie Mashinter, Frank Mashinter, Jim Wells Norm Rob- erts and Moe Williamson scored the others for the winners. Brampton Lions 2 Richmond Hill Putters 0 The Brampton team got their revenge for the 2-1 loss the Put- ters inflicted on them in their first meeting. The little fellows put on a display that had the crowd cheering and on the edge of their seats throughout the game. The impovement in the calibre of play is very noticeable and the young players seem to ooze confidence. ' John Imber opened the scoring in the first period as he beat Ron. Hogarth, Putter goalkeeper, with a fast shot to the corner. At the 6.30 mark of the second per- iod Ian Douglas scored for the Brampton team on a fast break- away to give Hogarth no chance on the play. Newmarket 9 Richmond Hill Bantams 1 The Richmond Hill Bantams were eliminated from the O. M. H. A. playdowns ’1 no un- certain m-atter by the Newmarket team. The team was in some dif- ficulty before the game got un- der way as only ten players were on hand for the trip to Newmar- ket. Mike Howard did double duty on the defence and skated himself into the ice in a vain at- tempt to stem the Newmarket tide. Ricky Bradshaw scored the lone Richmond Hill goal. The Bantams will now go into the North York League playoffs and it is to be hoped that An- thony Crack will soon be better and able to get back into action. Despite the lop sided score the Bantams played well in this game against Newmarket and we wish them luck in the North York league playoffs. The senior and junior girls’ basketball teams have done ex« tremer well this season. So far both girls teams have won the games played with Aurora, Thorn- hill and Markham. The teams have lost only one game, to New- market. At the exhibition game with Markham played on Tuesday, February 9, a winning game was played. The senior team scored a vic- tory with 41 points to Markham’s 19. High scorer was Deane Win- stone with 1'7 points. The juniors were also victori- ous scoring 37 points over the 11 points scored by Markham. _ Nancy Passmore, G.A.A. Publicity Editor lam/a R.H.H.S. GIRLS ATHLETIC NEWS '06,??? c fans.

On Wednesday. February 10th they trounced Pickering College by an 68-31 score. The big feature of the Picker- ing College game was the fact that Cliff Nuttall hooped 31 points, as many points as the Pickering College team were able to score. Other scorers for Thorn- hill in this game were Ted Nagel and Bill Stratton with 10 points each while Bill McGhee scored On Friday, February 12th. Au- rora visited Thornhill for 3 jun- lot and senior game. The Junior game was a real contest with Thornhill coming out on the long end of a 38-34 score. Bob Howes sank 22 points for the winning Thornhill team. The senior game was strictly a no-contest affair as Thornhill Seniors cake~ walked to a 79-24 win. Nuttall again lead the scor- ing parade as big Cliff sunk 35 points. Bob Howes made an ap- pearance in the Senior line up in the second quarter and scored 11 points in his brief appearance. With Howes and Nuttall on the court at the same time the oppos- ition is in a quandary as to just how to defend. No matter which boy. you defence. it leaves the other clear to run up a high score. Bob Howes will be appear- ing regularly in the senior play- off games. The Junior team had an easy time of it as they disposed of Pickering College handily, \vln- ning by a 53-16 count. Bob Howes went on a spree in this game as he scored a total of 34 points. rpm-t5 jAornéi/I naturally 'ole5
