PEOPLE MAKE THE DIFFERENCE AT 'ronqN'ro-pommlou m A YOU ‘I'HI IANK flu'r LOOKS AHEAD behavioural standards generally in order to benefit through the organization. “A high standard of conduct and personal ethics are just as important to a youngster as nimble legs and stamina," Johnny insists. And he points out that the intangible benefits flaw- ing from a well organized, sound- 4,”-.. Johnny is also dead set against the practice (perhaps more gen- eral than is realized) of providing a hockey program which caters to only the best players. “Many a boy with tremendous potential has had his heart broken and his promise killed off because an organization didn‘t see fit to per- scvere with him,” he said. “I know many a potential Rocket Richard who started out falling over his stick and went home weeping because the older boys lacked un- derstanding." But he doesn't hold with the idea that indifference flows from cruelty. “People aren’t intentionally hard boiled," he said. “Unintentional cruelty is simply a matter of lack of under- standing." He said it takes a lot of psychology to make a tan- gible contribution to hockey and will admit that he hasn't always been too tactful, but hopes that those whose ire he has roused in the past know that even his faults were motivated by an in- terest in children. 1y constituted hockey association are many and varied. “The prim- ary purpose of sports is to dev- elop the moral and mental fibre of kids," he insists. “Good physi- cal health and sports skill are all well and fine, but those two at- tributes don’t make up the whole picture." Pe’t Prejudices He has strong opinions but says he hopes they result from con- siderable experience in hockey, the constant exchange of ideas with others, and not dogmatic prejudice. For example he doesn't believe there is any set coaching technique. There can't be be- cause no two kids or teams react identically to situations. “A coach's technique pretty well must be patterned after the age of the boys," he told us, adding that is only one factor. “You may have an overall technique for a specified group, but within that group there will be a difference in the attitudes and tempera- ments of your players and as you go along you develop individual approaches.” Combined Effort: L-ZGBSA Richmond Hill Branch He is emphatic about another point, that a hockey team is ne- ver a one-man effort. It’s his op- inion that the team manager rarely gets full credit for his contribution. The Hornets’ man‘- ager, Bill McVean, is a good example, he said. “Bill goes to no end of time and trouble to iron out untoward problems and take care of a variety of pre-and- post game duties which includes everything from filling out forms, checking up on players and equipment and transportation, acting as public relations man, confidante and father confessor. Bill will walk. fly, crawl or run throught snow. heat, hail or sleet to dischage his voluntary duties as our manager," Johnny sai . That both men are proud of the Hornets goes without saying. The 13 active players. more than half of whom are eligible for the same team next year, represent one of the youngest pee-wee line- ups in Canada. All under 12 and averaging about 87 pounds in weight, their sponsorship is ac- tually a sort of joint mission by the Richmond Hill Kinsmen and the players’ parents. As Johnny puts it: “The club supplies swea- ters, stockings. pants and some sticks while the parents go for skates and the majority of the sticks. transportation and a num- ber of intangible needs. The mo- thers and fathers have come through nobly. Why, some of our out-ofâ€"town games have attracted as many as 50 accompanying par- ents." While on the subject of pare-n- ta-l support, he thinks it natural enough for adults to follow the pursuit of the pee-wees with keen interest which, he suggests, is a tender mixture of paternal and maternal worry for the hopes and physical well being of the young- sters, while the fathers in partic- ular are emotionally joined to the little one’s sports endeavour and through him relives some of his own early-day doings. And of course this year in particular the parents are even more than or- dinarily interested because this season the pee-Wees advanced farther than any former Hill team in their category. Setup There are 27 teams in the Minor “A” Peewee Division of the Ontario Minor Hockey Assoc~ iation. The local squad is one of two teams still remaining in the O.M.H.A. competition. Another indication of the team’s worth is the fact that they compete on almost equal terms with “A” teams, which represent the best of the lot in larger centres like Toronto where there are many more youngsters to choose from when a team is formed. The Hor- ‘nets are classified as Minor "A." Johnny was born in Toronto and raised in Hamilton where he took to the ice as a wee shaver and has been connected with hockey ever since. In Ham- ilton he coached the Hornets, the first of many teams and whose name. he says, obviously prejud- iced him in favour of the local agglomeration of pee-wees. He enlisted in the navy in early 1943 and by the time he was discharged in 1945 had found time to play on senior service teams in his branch of the war forces. A teacher of engineering subjects, he was responsible for engine trials while in the navy and later spent six years teach- ing mechanical knowâ€"how at Ry- erson Institute in Toronto. As sales engineer, he has been with the_same firm seven years. The almost 40-year-old Johnny, who looks more like 30, notes with satisfaction that the Hornets are a well balanced team. “Each member delivers consistently," he points out. “We have no prima donnas and no flash-in-the-pan artists. Boy for boy the Hornets can shoot and cut, comer, block and pass in right fine fashion, and there’s no telling where sev- eral of them may end up in the big leagues of business or hockey if they keep minding their p's and 9’s." Mascots of the Hornets are Johnny Gropp Junior (Johnny the Bomb), age seven and six-year- old Dennis (The Menace) Acomb. "A pretty formidable pair," says Johnny Senior. At home he gets plenty of extra moral support from daughters Valerie, 17, R0- bert, 12 and Jamie, one. He is married to the former Marguerite Russell, also of Hamilton who, like her husband, is ‘sold’ on pee-wee hockey. Johnny, incidentally, hasn’t missed a regular coaching session all year, so it appears that he too is “minding his p’s and q’s'. LADIES 8.

The tenth annual skating car- nival of the Unionville Skating Club, held on Friday and Satur- day, April 14th and 15th, was an unqualified success. The show had three performances, one on Fri- day and two on Saturday and was staged before capacity audiences. Unionville Arena was lighted and decorated in such a way that it became a veritable fairyland of ice and reflected many hours of hard work and planning by var- ious committees. From the band- stand to the coloured ice, the lighting, spot lighting, decor and properties were all of a highly professional calibre. The pace was fast and the tem- po exciting with never a dull moment for an appreciative and captivated audience. The open- ing number with an Indian theme By popular demand the big stu- dent “Health’s A Poppin Show" will be run two nights this year. Performances will be given at 8.00 p.m.on Thursday, AprilV27th and on Friday, April 28th. Since the Easter holidays and exams have come to an end, stu- dents and their mentors have been working at a feverish pitch, rehearsing, making props, arrang- ing ticket sales and the thous- and and one details that go to make a successful performance. The show this year will be built around a western theme and any resemblance to Current T.V. fav- ourites is 100% intentional. “Health's A Poppin Show" Thornhill High School .On April 27 8. 28 The senior league made yards Mr. Tanquiy, head caretaker at' unwind/[e Séalihg Carnival IO/ayd ge/ore fez/pacify fluviiem Gary Churcher was set up by Gordon and Acomb and caught the corner of the net at 19.50 of the first period to make the score 5.4 on the round. Churcher fired from about 25 feet out and his low drive completely fooled Cor- nelius and caught the inside cor- ner of the post. The second period was filled with chills and thrills for Hornet fans as the team fought fiercely to even up the score. Barry Cor- nelius in the Wallaceburg goal was called upon to come up with great saves' and he did just that. The Wallaceburg Team had the Hornets staggering 1n the early minutes of the period but a fier- cely determined Jim Wilson re- fused to yield to great pressure. Tie Score 5-All As the second period wore on the Hornets seemed to get a sec- ond wind and gathered strength to roar to the attack. At the mid- way point in the period a sus- tained Hornet drive paid off as Acomb scored from a mild melee in front of the Wallaceburg goal to tie the score 5.2111. His two line-mates. Churcher and Gor- don, assisted on the tying tally. Hornets Gain Strength By all odds the Hornets should have run out of steam in the third period but it was Wallaceburg who wilted under the fierce pres- sure. Churcher gave the Hornets a one-goal lead at the two min- ute mark of the period as he blasted a quick shot past Cor- nelius. Assists on the goal went to Worrall and Gordon. Shots rained around the Wal- laceburg net as the Hornets crowded in on the Wallaceburg Team and Acomb scored on a solo effort at 5.21 to put the Hornets two goals ahead. The Wallace- burg Squad were still very much in the game and made several dangerous rushes that the defence and Jim Wilson were able to thwart but it was still anyone's hockey game. Breaks Wallaceburg Hearts Thornhill High School has pitch- ed in with a will and is lending .‘all his not inconsiderable talents 11:0 the venture. Teachers students, caretakers and parents are all invalued right to the hilt. l It was left up to Dave Broder. ick to take all the fight and sting from the Wallaceburg attack. Broderick was forechecklng fiercely and picked up _the puck to one side of the Wallace-burg net. He stick-handled, fought and dipsy-doodled his way out in front and blasted in a shot that gave Cornelius no change at all. From this point on the game was virtually over as Hornets continued to press and were able to contain a demoralized Wallace- burg Team. As the last few sec. onds ticked off the clock, the large crowd began a count.down and, as the siren sounded, bed- lam broke loose. Hornet players and coaches rushed to chair netminder Jimmy Wilson from the ice and he was deserving of the honour. Players of both teams shook hands and ri- val coaches offered congratula- tions and condolences. The win was of a historic nat- ure as this is the first year that an all Ontario peewee champion. ship has been held. The Rich- mond Hill name will be the first ever recorded on the shiny new trophy. Mayor Jim Haggart faced off the first puck and was still around and hoarse from shouting at the game's end. All he could say as the siren went was (quote) IT WAS WONDERFUL! (unquote). Councillor Mrs. Margaret South- well and Councillors A1. White and Howard Whillans were pres- ent and like all good Richmond Hill supporters they found plen- ty to cheer about: Coaches John Gropp and Bill McVean were presented with pen and pencil sets by parents of Hot- net players and the two men seemed somewhat dazed and over- whelmed by the decisive win. The game proved out the old adage that a team that won’t'be beaten just can’t be beaten. And so it’s all over for another year but it did end in a crashing finale. Regular netminder Albert Windrum deserves tremendous praise and encouragement for his performance throughout the year. The Hornets beat the best in On- tario to get to the finals with Members, executive and others who participated‘in the show are to be heartily congratulated on a great performance. Unionville is noted as a skating club that always does things in the grand manner, and the carnival bore out this judgment and proves its position as one of the finest ogganizations of its kind in Can- a a. and gorgeous costumlng set the stage for a thrilling performance that made the grand finale come all too soon. Everyone in the club from the tiniest mite to the oldest inhabi- tant took part in the show and all seemed to enjoy themselves thor. oughly. Many Richmond Hill resi- dents took in the show and all who saw it had nothing but praise for the event. This is the fourth season for the show and, like all good things, improves with age. The admission price of 50¢ per person assures patrons of 2% hours of good, clean family fun and a thousand hearty laughs. Don’t forget the dates of the show April 27th - 28th and lend an ear to the student ticket sel- 1ers.’ The cause is a very worthy one. udi en ced LIBERAL CLASSIFIEDS Get Results TU.4-IIOS E Garden Gate Nursery 3,!ll\lllll\lllllllllllll\lllllulllllllll1l1ll1ll“ll\l1“ll““llllllll\lllllllllllllllllll1llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll‘lllllllllllmmlllllmlmmm .- film“mumnnmmmmuummuuuummmmnummmnmmmumnmmmumlmummummuml\mmnmuuummmmunmmmfl LIBERAL CLASSIFIEDS Get Results TU.4-IIOS of industrial and residential lawn and garden maintenance Complete selection of quality Garden Supplies, Loam and Fertilizers SALE STATION 3/10 Mile West of Yonge St. on ELGIN MILLS ROAD RICHMOND HILL, NORTH AV. 5-5942 WE DELIVER TU. 4-11‘ April 22 - 29, 1961 M I N O R B A I.
