If the league should fold next year it will be a minor tragedy. Through thick and thin. and it's been mostly thin, they have put on a hockey show for seven years. Could be that next season a few more hockey-loving fans will turn out for the games and save What has become almost an institution. It is well worth saving. . â€"â€" SPORT SPOTS â€" ' The suture and scalpel set had a wild night a Week ago last Tuesday. For a few hectic minutes it seemed as though everyone wearing skates at Rich- mond Hi1] Arena was out to stun pucks with his face. Don MacMilIen, starry netminder for the Rich- ('(“ontinued on mace IO) VOLUME Lxxxi'iTNfiMBER 41 There are probany many reasons for lack of in- terest and the chief argument presented is the cold arena. Sure it can be cold. but so can the stands at a football game. And it’s never been known to rain in Richmond Hill Arena yet! _ Whether or not the league will operate next year remains to be seen. It’s a real financial burden to some of the players and a real headache for league executives. Finding money for referees’ fees and paying for ice time are a real strain on the minute coffers. It's too bad that they have so few fans, an attendance of even 100 people per game and they’d beginmto think they’d got a pipeline to Fort Knox! One team in the four-team loop manages to opâ€" erate without a sponsor. Every player on the team digs deep to pay expenses and the fact that they’re in the finals shows just how deep. The other three teams in the league operate with complete or partial sponsorship with the emphasis on the partial. The kitty-barâ€"the-door style of hockey, employed by some NHL. teams to protect a lead. has never been heard of in this league. Even if you’ve got a six goal lead the idea seems to be to try for 7 or 17 if. you can make it. All this makes for wide open, crowd pleasing hockey, only one trouble no crowd to ap- preciate it! To keep the action going, players have been kick- ing in out of their own pockets after every game. You’ve really got to love playing hockey to shell out for the pleasure. And these boys play as if they own- ed the game! For sixty minutes of rock’em - sock’em hockey that had drama in every minute, seventeen paying spectators were in the stands! Without a doubt they got a good 50c worth and the same seventeen people Were probably in the stands for the final and deciding game last Tuesday night. How a league can operate with this kind of support beats us! The brand of hockey played in the league is just as fast and wide open as any hockey you’ll ever see. On April 3rd. the Orphans and the Richmond Hill Tree Service Team hooked up in the second game of a best two out of three series for the league championâ€" ship. By the time the smoke had cleared the series was tied with each club having won a game. gfigjs u W/l RON CRAINI One of the tragedies of trying to keep a senior hockey league operating in Richmond Hill Arena, is the complete and utter lack of spectator support. By the time this is printed the Richmond Hill Senior Hockey League will have folded up for this season. It’s only the desire of the players that has kept it from folding a lot earlier this year. on CKVR-TV CHANNEL 3, BARRIE Thursday, APRIL 19th, 6:10 pm.
