VOLUMEâ€"EXXXIITNUMBER 43 RON CRAINI By now the Stanley (Iup playoffs of 1962 have passed into history. At the time of this writing five games have been played and the Leafs have won three of the five. After Chicago won the third and fourth games and had completely outclassed the Toronto team in the Chicago Stadium, it seemed inevitable that they would win the silverware for the second straight year. Then comes the fifth game on Toronto ice and the Hawks absorbed an 8-4 defeat. It was a series that was exciting all the way. Chicago fans seem to come to games equipped with some strange and assorted materials for throw- ing on the ice. Decks of playing cards. eggs, hats, footwear and sundry other odd items made a regular appearance on the ice after every goal. Most people in this area deplored the practice and were a little bit disgusted with the Chicago fans. The fact is that maybe we felt a little smug and superior to our American cousins and felt that such disgraceful behaviour couldn‘t happen in the hallowed halls of Maple Leaf Gardens. And then in the fifth game of the series. some people blew our ideals all to blazes. Eggs, hals. programmes, fire crackers and 0! her things were tossed out onto the ice. Maybe they didn’t throw as much and maybe not as often but some Toronto fans evidently wanted to prove that we could be just as stupid as a Chicago audience. An appeal not to throw debris on the ice as a player might suffer an injury was roundly honed. And the litter continued to rain down. The only consolation or comfort we can find in 1his is that maybe, just maybe, all the stuff thrown onto the ice was out there by visiting Chicago fans. It’s a darn slim hope and we honestly don’t believe it: for one cotton-picking minute. From now on Toronto audiences can have little l to feel superior about. They have raised (or lowered) ‘ themselves to the Chicago level and there’s precious 2 little to be proud of in that Leaf fans have always ‘ had a reputation for beimr one of the best conducted. ‘ most snortsmanlike groups in the league. After last? ‘ Thursday night the reputation has become a wee bit ‘ tarnished and we hope that it can be redeemed. ’ â€" SPORT SPOTS â€"â€" For the last five years there have. been plans “not to build a change house with washroom facil- l ities in the town park. And for five years something has always caused the plans to be shelved. This year We sincerely hope that the plans will be completed and that the change house becomes a reality. Section Over the past few years, Richmond Hill has Achieved an enviable reputation in the softball world. Teams have come into Richmond Hill from all parts of this province. and from United States centres. And where did they have to dress? Most of them were forced to change in cars although, on the odd occasion, the Scout Hall was made available as a. dressing room. Visiting football and soccer teams. as well as our own town teams, were in the same boat and had to dress as best they could, where they could. Wash- room and shower facilities just don’t exist and this causes a great deal of inconvenience. The situation is not a happ)r one and does little to enhance the reputation of Richmond Hill. Second Our parks board recognizes this lack and means to do something about it this year. A change house may be a lomz way from a million dollar hotel and prestige building but will have just as much import- ance to the town park. And it will add greatly to the comfort of everyone who uses the park for any purpose whatsoever. - â€" SPORT SPOTS ~â€" The Richmond Hill Lawn Tennis Association is planning an open house on June 2nd at 2.30 pm. All Tennis Club members are urged to bring along any- one who is interested in tennis and enjoys a get- together. It has been a real pleasure to watch/the prog- ress of the tennis club. From a shaky beginning they have fashioned a real organization. They have two very fine tennis courts. plan to add a third. and own some very fine equipment. Besides all this they now have lights for niqht tennis. That's a lot of progress in three years and those responsible have every right to feel proud of a job well done. â€" SPORT SPOTS â€" The City of Oshawa has just announced plans to build a new million dollar arena and auditorium. Many reasons have been given for building the new arena and the success of Donald Jackson. an Oshawa boy, in winning the World’s Figure Skating championship, hasn’t hurt a bit. Facilities were so poor in Oshawa that Jackson had to go somewhere else to practice. And we are just about in the same position here. Ice time in the local winter sports palace is at a premium. All Organizations are clamouring for more time but it‘s just not available. At one time T.H.L. teams played in the arena but this had to be curtailed as local activities bought all the time available. The Richmond Hill Hockey Association has long recognized the need for a second arena. Coach John Gropp. of the Richmond Hill Hornets, has done some intensive research into the arena problem. both as to methods of construction and financing. The time is almost at hand to make use of his findings and make concrete plans for the future. We’re not suggesting that the old arena be done away with. Far from it. Right now there’s enough activity around to warrant two arenas and the pres- ent one has many years of use left to it. But facili- ties can be extended only so far and we seem to have reached the absolute limit. The only answer is an- other arena sometime in ‘ltt‘ \‘Gl'V near future. Plans have been made to operate a junior C hockey team in Richmond Hill next year. This cali- bre of hockey is fast and exciting and should com- mand a goodly fan following. There's only one prob- lem. the present arena is far from a spectators’ par- adise and‘ it won’t hold too great a crowd. â€" SPORT SPOTS .1 1‘6 litichmond mu Since the Easter exams came to an end the intramural sports program at Richmond Hill has been in high gear. The intra- mural volleyball results were decided with the senior cham- ionsh-ip going to Stewart House, followed by Harrison House. Miles House and Richmond House, in that order.

Richmond Hill is really going to be a very busy place! ‘Thornhill Like many another civic de- partment, Richmond Hill Parks Board suffered a cut in its bud- get when town council set the tax rate this year. The board now has $20,000 to spend on 1962 activities and the budget will be revised accordingly and discussed at the next meeting. The board, however, saved $6,500 from its 1961 budget, which it had earmarked for the building of a change house in the town park. Work on that project will go ahead as quickly as possible, said board members as they staged their regular monthly meeting under the chairmanship of Russell Tilt.
