' r A- Tho situation on which he In this latest epistle. Mr. Thompson. you are away off base. Please allow me to set you straight on the facts about the selling of Christmas Cakes and the benching of mo midget hoc- key players. Before this season started it had been decided by all working people in the Richmond Hill Hockey Association that there have been in the past far too many efforts to raise funds for equipment. tournaments, exhi bition games. etc. by the indivi- dual clubs. So, it was proposed. and accepted by all present. that Christmas Cakes and pud- dings should be sold in a single effort to raise all funds necesâ€" sary throughout the season. Each team was allocated a cer- tain area of the town to canvass and the profits will be placed in a pool to assist every hockey club in the town. The midgets team's require- ments for this season included new pants. white sweaters. white and blue stockings and safe helmets and some tourna- ments. The two hockey players} benched were not cut by the1 hockey association. They were benched for one game by me. their coach. because they failed to help their teammates in the sale and thereby in acquiring the equipment now being worn by all players on this team. In fact. Mr. Thompson. I assure you these two players are the mainstay of the midget hockey club to date and their efforts on the ice are very much apprecia- ted. I would suggest that Mr. Thompson should be a regular contributor to "The Liberal“. but I would ask him not to lis- ten to all the goof balls and. rumormongers (and there are many in Richmond Hill). Please check the facts first! BILL POINTS. MORE ABOUT CHRISTMAS CAKES Dear Mr. Sports Editor: I read in last week‘s “Letters to the Sports Editor" 3 missive from Robert Thompson. 173 Trayborn Drive. Richmond Hill. concerning the "Christmas Cake Episode“. This letter was written with what appeared to be a feeble attempt at being witty. It was in reality a diatribe of sarcasm directed toward a situation of which he. had obviously little knowledge or understanding. Mr. Thompson. as you may have gathered. has no activel connection with the hockey as~ sociation. and I. as a fairly ac- tive worker for the association. resent strongly his references to players being chosen for a team. for other than ability as a hockey player. that there is parental interference and that ' The ladies’ section of Richmond Hill Curling Club has already begun a full season or activities â€" sweeping the rockslinto the house.

The situation on which he has unleashed his meagre at-“ tempt at humor is. in actual fact, one in which the coach should be commended for tak- ing a justifiable stand.

The coach felt this serious enough to bench the two boys for one game. ‘These two boys, and all other members of the team will. from now on I‘m sure. attend “all team activities". I might also say that these twu boys and their parents accepted the dis- cipline in the proper manner and I have heard no criticism l‘or complaining concerning the :situation. Mr. Thompson in his final paragraph makes mention of opening Canada‘s first cake sel- ling summer school. If this be so I will volunteer to pay for Mr. Thompson‘s own , registra- tion myself. With the high cost of operating hockey today we can certainly use another fund ‘raiser. This is a letter of thanks to the Richvale Lions and Leos for their support of the South: ern Blues Football Club.

But my boss says write about the Richmond Hill Rams because they’re the happiest thing going on in town at the moment. I guess he’s got a point. But there’s one thing he doesn’t realize. These hockey Rams of 1971-72 just aren‘t my Rams. At writing, they've gone 14 games. without a defeat. They’re winners. 1 can’t adjust so quickly. I've been a part of the old Rams for the past four or five years. I’ve shared their sorrows, their hang-ups, their lonely nights at the Richmond Hill Arena It got to the point where I would relate my defeats with the Rams. When I lost, they lost. I knew I wasn’t all ‘alone in the world. There was the year they lost nine games in a row. It might have been only coincidence but that was the year I lost nine in a row. Then there have been the past two years when they missed the play- offs by just a few points after making stirring comebacks. 1,,1 T LUuIcL‘uxnu.
