VOLUME LXXXII, NUMBEIfl iké. RON cum: 3 The Richmond Hill Hockey Association’s Minor Hockey Night on January 26th proved several things. It proved for one thing that for sheer verve and excitement you can’t beat minor hockey for en- tertainment. Young players also demonstrated that the cheers of a large audience can spur them to great- uuuga. 1L pLuvcu LUL v ......... a _,, and excitement you can’t beat minor hockey for en- tertainment. Young players also demonstrated that the cheers of a large audience can spur them to great- er efforts â€"â€" if such a thing is possible. What makes the kids so much fun to watch is the fact that every minute they’re on the ice they operate at full throttle. Sometimes a professional player or a rink-wise amateur seems to be conserving himself and not giving the game his best shot. The kids play as if hockey were going out of style and play desperately from start to finish. W- ____1 1:...14 "Hum. Yne‘l’ ylu‘y uVUyVLquAJ --.,-.. w And it’s not all sweetness and light either. Just let a player about as high as an axe handle take what he considers to be an illegal check and watch the histrionics. If looks and the sense of outraged dig- nity displayed could kill, both the offending player and the referee would come to a quick demise. Some- times young tempers boil over and then just watch the fireworks explodell A _ AA-L- llllb nu." van» v..r.v.._ . . Why it takes a special night to bring out specta- tors is beyond comprehension. Every game that the young teams indulge in throughout the season is just as exciting. The cheers of an audience that is really interested sound awfully sweet to the young players. It was funny on the special night to listen to the reaction of the more than 600 fans who turned out to watch the action. From the cheers and groans that came from partisan throats you could tell what was happening without even having to see the play. The spectators were so caught up with and interested in the game that they reacted in the same way that a Saturday night crowd at the Gardens reacts to the ebb and flow of Maple Leaf hockey fortunes. This minor hockey can really stir up a storm of interest. Sure, it’s sometimes pretty cold in the local hoc- key palace but you can dress for it. Spectators at football games often suffer a greater amount of dis- comfo‘rt. And at least it never rains inside the arena. Second Section Players, coaches, referees and the R.H.H.A. ex- ecutive all enjoyed having so many good citizens come out to put a stamp of approval on their efforts. Why not plan to attend more games in the near future? It’s a solid gold guarantee that they’ll be just as good as the games played on January 26th. â€" SPORT SPOTS â€" “Casey” Cripps, softball coach extraordinaire, and Sil Steifan,‘who always plays softball to win, are going to mastermind Dynes Jewellers softball fortunes this year. Both men have one thing in com- mon, an uncommon love of the game of softball. To say that Casey eats, sleeps, dreams and lives softball is no exaggeration. Talk to him on Christmas Day. New Year’s Day. V alentine’s Day, or even St. Swithin’s Day and softball is bound to take over the theme of the conversation. When the season ends and the average player hangs up his tack, Casey is already knee-deep in plans for next year. If that isn’t dedication to his chosen sport then what is it? Sil Steffen has played an awful lot of ball in his long career. He is a highly competent catcher and has more than an average amount of competitive spirit. Sil can accept the fact of defeat and even shake hands with the winner but defeat is not pala- table and never will be. To be a winner in any sport you have to be a competitor. Both men fall into this category. The amalgamation of Cripps and Stefi‘an can only result in a highly competitive softball team. Sponsor Vern Dynes will get a real run for his money from the club wearing his colours. Richmond Hill devotees of softball should be in for a great season of softball watching. ‘ LIBERAL CLASSIFlEDS-GetResuIts-TU. 4-1105 If present plans come to full flower, Richmond Hill should be able to present softball fare to equal that sewed up in the famous Beaches League. It is not too optimistic to expect to see teams from Bea- ches playing exhibition games at the local ball fac- tory this coming season. Whether or not Allencourt Lanes intends to field a team this year is not quite clear. So far no one has come out with a clear statement of fact. If a second club does not operate in town it will leave a lot of softball players on the shelf and upset a system of long standing. Softball filberts in and around Richâ€" mond Hill are used to following the fortunes of two teams which operated in different leagues. This way they were assured of watching two Richmond Hill teams play at the town park on two different nights of the week. Maybe this year they’ll have to stay home and cut the grass or weed the lettuce on‘ one of those nights. But. we sincerely hope not. â€" SPORT SPOTS â€" m---.«.«-- >.« ‘.\.<~.0.0.0.0.0.0-0.0.‘ GRAYDON PARMENTER '8L"'K's_$6€iAIEs LIMITEDg INSURANCE 0F All.

RICHMOND Newmarket visited Richmond‘ Hill last Friday in the final scheduled game on the North York League calendar. The Hornets won a 3-1 game over the Newmarket crew but failed to look sharp in the process.j Weak checking and sloppy c1ear-‘ ing, particularly in their own zone, was a bad feature of Horâ€" net play.

Against Woodbridge the Fly-‘ ers led 4-2 at the end of the second period but ran into an open switch in the third stanza with Woodbridge scoring three unanswered goals to win 5-4.
