Assists Went to Bill Weber and Bill Stephenson. Mike Ballager scored two goals for Dixie with Bob Pat- terson getting the other one.

(Continued from Page 13) \make minor hockey go in Richmond Hill. There are warts in any situation but that’s the way it is in everything. ‘ So on' “minor hockey week” I’m going to simply say that you have to consider the overall picture. And, overall, it’s a good one. A lot of well-meaning people (misguided sometimes as we all are) are involved in something that is with us to stay. That’s minor hockey. That’s about it. Carry on and smooth out the ripples. Stay cool, stay calm. Excuse me while I go renew the prescription for my nervous pills. I feel an awful lot of tension coming on. Firstly, do you recog- nize that picture looking at you? Yes, that’s Gerry Methe (or, as they refer to him in Fort Wayne . . . a “blonde” Derek Sanderson) sport- ing the brush and the hair-style and all that. 14 Now to some other subjects. Gerry, as you probably know, was a standout a few years ago with Richmond Hill Legion Midgets. From there it was up to the Oshawa Junior “A” Generals. ‘HAIR’ WHAT? It leads off with the heading, “Hair Comes To Fort Wayne. Then: “We are not referring to the controvers- ial play but to our hirsute defenseman who hails from Richmond Hill, Ontario â€" Gerry played last season for Oshawa Juniors, and is a welcome addi- tion to the club this season. “He has seen limited action as he suffered a broken ankle in our league opener on October 16. He returned to action Christmas Night, and is a rushing type of defenseman who has captured the imagination of Komet fans. This year Gerry, who has just turned 20, tried out with NHL Pittsburg squad in Brantford. He was then shipped to Her- sey and out to Fort Wayne in the International Hockey League. GERRY METHE Enter some bad luck. Gerry broke an ankle and was out of action until Christmas but is back and going strong again. Yes, they love him in Fort Wayne. “He and his young wife, Susan, live at Parnell Park Apartments. We know that all fans are glad that this young blonde, Derek Sanderson is playing his hockey in Fort Wayne.” That’é just great. 'But I have a feeling it won’t be too long before Gerry hits the NHL to stay. He’s got a lot of things going for him. 'What follows is an excerpt in the Fort Wayne hockey “mag” on Gerry which as shown above, included his picture, And on the cover, too. Some more hockey, yet. See that Richmond Hill’s Doug Acomb, former Marlie Junior “A” stal- wart, is leading the Ontario Hockey Association Senior “A” scoring once more. - Doug, who plays with Barrie. has 56 points on 26 goals and 30 assists. He’s one point ahead of teammate Ron Robinson. Rams Win Over Wexford & Dixie w.“â€" .. Rwéé 'the-second straight win for the Rams in three nights as they upended Wexford Raiders 8â€"5 in a rugged match Thursday night of last week in Stouffville. By FRED SIMPSON The Richmond Hill Junior “B” hockey Rams had nowhere to go but up and out Sunday night as they. trailed Dixie Beehives 3-0 at the end of the first 20 minutes. They were behind 3-0. Up and out they went. They wound up winning 4-3 on a goal by Dick Weber at 5:42 of the final period from Alex Pirus and Bill Weber. _ - ._ e 3pm S'pots... Sunday’s game saw Rich- mond Hill staggering in the first period as Dixie storm- ed to the offensive. GORDIE WOOLNOUGH Airtight Replacement THE LIBERAL, Richmond Hill, Ontario, Thursday, Jan. 27, 1972 DEREK SANDERSON DOUG THE LEADER Thursday’s game against Wex- ford saw Steve Colp rapping home three of four third per- iod goals by Richmond Hill to give them a hard-fought 8-5 win over Wexford who led 5â€"4 up to that point. Colp also scored the opener in the first period and totalled four goals in all. Wexford’s goals were by A1 Avery with two, Angie Moretto, Tim Young and Brian Mc- Cready. Greg McGuire, Wex- ford defenseman recently ac- quired from Marlboro “A’s”, had a particularly rough outing. He picked up nine minutes in penalties in the second per- iod for a mix-up with John Ba'r- nett. After McGuire had spear- ed and elbowed Barnett at the Wexford blueline, he charged after the latter apparently in Other Rams goals went to Daryl Rice, Wayne Stokes, Bill Weber and Bill Stephenson. i Then came some tenacious checking by the Hill forwards plus solid defensive work led by Fred Doyle to stave the Dixie Beehives off the rest of the way. It was by far Doyle‘s best game of the season. Richmond Hill held Dixie to just seven shots after they. had amassed a total of 42 in the first two frames. Doyle, incidentally, seemed to be on the ice almost all the time. He played himself into exhaus- tion covering up in the cor- ners, using his body effec- tively and clearing out of his oWn zone as the Rams played Shorthanded on sev- eral occasions. Dixie outshot Richmond Hill 49-33 on the game. Aavvnx .‘vuu EJ ulllUL 4) VJ i and out Sunday night as ea 3-0 at the end of the McQuire grabbed Barnett and tossed him to the ice.

The trouble begins, though, when the first parent arrives at the arena. The next time you visit one of these rinks, watch the frustrated an attempt to take him off withfior Richmond Hill and made him. lthe difference. parent pushing or attempting to push Junior beyond his capabi- lities. The mothers scream, “Go, go, go," the fathers stand up at the back and try to outyell the mothers. They shriek, swear and threaten the youngsters on the other team. The referees take abuse beyond all reason and the threatening continues, including even the coach of the opposing players. All the boys want to do is ‘play hockey. That demands hard lwork, yes, but it also means a lot of fun. The boys want a coach they can respect â€" not one who slips the odd All-Star ‘player into the lineup of his 1house league team so it can beat another house team. When are adults going to start acting like youngsters when it comes to hockey and re- member it is only a game, full of fun and laughter? When, oh, when? Regarding the dance held January 15 at the Lions Hall, I would like to thank Helen Price and Ed Sackfield for a job well done. The live band was excellent, also the buffet table. Dear Mr. Sports Editor‘ While the attendance was less than expected, the dance was a real success. Since these dances are put on by the Richmond Hill Hockey Association and it is mainly the parents of hockey players who attend, I think it would be nice to see the executive of the asso- ciation in attendance also at all dances. Wexford outshot the Rams 48-45 Let’s all support both minor hockey and all fund raising pro- jects. THOSE HOCKEY PARENTS I wish to congratulate you and consider it an honor to be associated with you. Besides that, watching the kids play hockey is not just a duty, it’s a lot of fun â€" try it, you’ll like it. TOM GRAHAM, President, To these people who are the backbone of any organization, the people who pay the freight with the realization that they are part of a self-support- ing organization that does not go panhandling to government agencies for money through subsidies, Dear Mr. Sports Editor: ‘ This week, each year, is set aside to pay tribute to minor hockey workers â€" coaches, managers, ref- erees and most of all to the players. Each year we are told about the fine work of an individual or team, or a whole organization. Really, most people do not have to be told who is doing a good job. It becomes pretty obvious to any observant person that we in Richmond Hill are very fortunate to attract the calibre of people who are able to make our local leagues work like clockwork. Our town representative teams are used as examples by other towns. To sum up, in a very few words, I would like to thank all of the people â€"- from stick boys to time- keepers, from convenors to coaches, from directors to executive members â€"â€" for the excellent job done in the past and which I know will continue to be done in the future. To digress for a moment, I think that we for- get at times who the whole Operation is for â€" the boys themselves. Without the greatest collection of youngsters in the world it would all go for nought. Lastly, but certainly not the least, we must take our hat off to the parents â€" the ones who get up at '6 am or even at 5 am to get the boys out to practice, who come out faithfully and pay their modey to see every game whether their boy is on a first place team or a last place team, drive their car with a load of kids to out of town games, buy the draw tickets, attend the dances, buy Christmas Cakes and chocolate bars. Our referee development system is so good that the North York Hockey Association used our midget local league for referee tryouts and have 'been very pleased with the results we have ohtained._ _ _ A PARTICIPATING PARENT ‘arr played very well in goall A CONCERNED MOTHER FUND RAISING PROJECTS MESSAGE FROM RICHMOND HILL HOCKEY PRESIDENT Richmond Hill Hockey Association Richmond Hill hosts St. Mike’s Tuesday night at 8 pm and February 4 travels to Markham for another import- ant game against Markham in their continuing battle for first place. METRO JUNIOR “B” G W L TPt The introduction of the 5 year and/or 50,000 mile warranties a few years ago, by the major automobile manufacturers, was one of the most revolutionary changes ever to be introduced to the car buyer and I feel that had it not been abused by so many people it would have still been available today. It was not only beneficial to the owner but also gave the dealer' the opportunity of servicing the vehicle in such a manner as to cover all the items which would keep the warranty in effect, and help eliminate breakdowns and poor performance, which naturally leads to better customer relations. Don Little Ford's service manager With the introduction of the 1971 models most car manufactures cut back their new car warranties to 12 months or 12,000 miles (whichever occurs first) which was a drastic blow both to the consumer from an operating cost standpoint and the dealer from a customer relations viewpoint. We, therefore, with the co-operation of one of the major oil companies, developed our own 50,000 mile Warranty program, which goes into effect when the factory warranty expires. We have passed this warranty to our purchasers of all 1971 and 1972 passenger cars and light trucks at no additional cost I think this program is an excellent opportunity for any new car‘ buyer and as we have set a reserve aside to take care of any problems, which could come under the terms of the guarantee, I would suggest that if you have not been keeping your guarantee in effect you contact me personally to have it validated, at your earliest Having covered the new vehicle end of the business with an extended warranty, we have recently introduced a Used Car Guarantee which covers the engine, trans- mission, and differential, for 12 months or 12,000 miles, whichever is sooner, from the date of the purchase of the vehicle. If you haven’t heard about it already I would suggest that before you buy your used car you contact our Used Car Manager, or one of his representatives, for a complete explanation of this excellent guarantee. convenience THIS WEEK’S CAR TIP: Never inter-mix radial ply and regular ply tires. Also when rotating radial ply tires move from front to rear or vice versa â€" never change from side to side.
