%/ RON 0313mm 3 A lady who recently moved to Richmond Hill from a Western Ontario town, asked why it costs so much for a boy to play hockey in Richmond Hill. A fair question, but the answer is a bit complicated. However, for her benefit and for the benefit of others who may wonder about the same thing we’ll attempt an answer. an nun vv 0:. . First of all as to the cost. Whether it costs a lot of money is a relative thing. A boy can sign up to play hockey under the banner of the Richmond Hill Hockey Association for $5.00. This gives the boy at least one game a week from October until sometime , __._'H.- lcaau Ullb 5uuu. u nyy“ ---.. in April. The boy supplies his own skates and usually his own sticks. Hockey pants, shoulder pads and gloves are his own responsibility. In some cases, if he is playing for a sponsored team he may be given the odd stick or even two. -..-... ‘ uuv vuu The R.H.H.A. has between 600 and 700 boys play- ing hockey and these boys. are divided into leagues according to age. Each league is then made up into teams with an average of 15 boys per team. Under the rules of the R.H.H.A. each and every boy, re- gardless of ability, is given the same amount of time on the ice during a game. We said that pads, etc., are generally the respon- sibility of the player. In the case of goalkeepers the pads are more expensive than the average boy’s fam- ily could or would afford. Goalkeepers’ equipment is supplied by the R.H.H.A. A mask of clear plastic that protects junior’s winning smile while guarding the goal costs over $20.00. That may give you some little ‘idea of how much it costs to dress a goalkeeper. Then come sponsored teams. For a nominal sum payable over a three year period, a sponsor agrees to buy sweaters for a team. Some of them throw in a little more and add socks as well. Once in a while a sponsor will get really fired up about his team and buy the kids a hockey stick. This happens usually when his team has gotten into the playoffs. Most of the tfine there are fnoi'e teams than sponsors and the sweaters come out of the R.H.H.A. coffers. And believe me they are mighty slim coffers! Come To .....

Humber Valley Redmen Winners Defeat Hornets Eight To Zero John Gropp took his peewee-‘ Hornets to Woodbridge last Sat- urday morning for a game with the Humber Valley Redmen, who gave the Hornets an 8-0 lesson -in how peewee hockey should be played. Mr. Gropp says that the Redmen were full value for the win. The Humber Valley team was just half a step faster and a shade faster thinking throughout the game. They played perfect positional hockey and literally overpowered the game Hornet squad. Dave Broderick, Ricky Dou- cette and Bob Hutchison were unable to play for the Hornets. Despite this obvious weakening of the team, the Redmen are the best peewee team the Hor- nets have encountered. Even with the Hornets operating at full strength, John Gropp feels that the Redmen are at least four goals better at this stage. Goalie ROn Reid had himself a ball scoring another shutout.

Last Friday night in Rich- mond Hill the Hornets downed the Ted Reeve peerwees by a 6-0 shutdout. Dave Broderick and Ricky Doucette were out of the Hornet line-up with knee injuries, not sustained while playing hockey. Despite the loss iof the two regulars the Hornets ‘dom-inated the play throughout the piece. Brian Austin, playing his sec-‘ and game in the Hornet cage, was unbeatable. He handled 16 shots with all the skill and ap- lomb of a veteran and thwarted Ted Reeve forwards on all scor- |ing chances. Rangers had it their own way in this game as they were just too strong for the hard working Americans. Jim Kells scored two goals and a Single each for Don Webster and Brian Havflland. Americans lone goal was by Brian Every. MIDGET Jones 3 Trailways 1 A shutout for Ron Howlett. good show Ron. Larry Patter- son scored both Little's goals. ABC boys were a little draggy.
