He hastens to add that he’s really a co-coach along with Len Campbell. “We do it together.” As for juvenile hockey being a blind street as far as a hockey career is concerned? “That doesn’t concern me all that much,” said" Dacharme. “I suppose your chances are lil'r‘nited but there’s always the exception in any- t ing.” Then there’s another reason. There are actually some reasonably talented hockey players around who don’t think professional hockey is the end of the rainbow. “Some are more interested in education. They just want to continue to play hockey as a past-time after they get too old for midget. Hockey just isn’t their life’s ambition." NOW THE TEAM As for the make-up of Jim’s team? He has a goalie by the name of Dave Addley who he says, somewhat unabashedly, “is the best goalie in juvenile hockey. “A big thing going for Dave aside from ability,” states Ducharme, “is his attitude to the game. He wants to play and he works hard at it. In fact, Dave would like to make it in hockey and you can’t count anyone out if they are determ- ined enough. He’s determined." “Gordie played with the juveniles,” said Ducharme. “He was one of those players that just semed to miss out for some reason although I knew he was good enough to play junior hockey. I don't even think he played OMHA hockey before joining the juveniles so you never know. There’s always a chance.” Backing up Addley is last season’s goalie for the Richmond Hill Legion Midgets, Bruce Hails, who does a fine job in his own behalf. Ducharme Has what he terms (right now anyway) an “aches and pains” defence. They are hurtiqg with various. \yell. Eches _and pains. His defence comprises Doug Lounsbury, Wes Berseth, Terry O’Brien, and George Lewandowski. “Lewandowski is a pleasant surprise this season,” said Ducharme. “He came right out of the local house league and he’s been one of our best defencemen. Unfortunately, he’s been out with an injury.” “Bersethvis also showing well and he’s good at getting the puck while O’Brien is very steady at alLtimes. iIt is a good combination.” His big line comprises Centreman Tom San- lon with Mike Ball on left wing and Allan Pavio on the right side. Another line consists of A1 Graham, Bill Dysart and Reg Armstrong; another of George Barr. Paul Bailie and Steve Brown. “This is my first year as coach of a team,” states Ducharme. “I’ve got a lot to learn but I’m happy with the way things have gone so far. I managed the team the past two seasons and I didn't do a particularly good job at that. So I thought I might as well try my hand at coach- mg.” One of the exceptions has to be Gordie Wool- nough of the Provincial Junior “A” Aurora Tigers and formerly of the Richmond Hill Rams. In fact, Paul might be the only undefeated coach in minor hockey. That is, if you don’t count the exhibition losses. That record in the York Simcoe loop is 15 wins, no losses and a tie. Against teams such as Orillia, Barrie, Aurora, and Thornhill. “We haven’t lost a league game yet despite a series of bad injuries which have left us short- handed,” continued Ducharme. The speaker was Paul Ducharme who is in his first season of coaching the Richmond Hill Mister Transmission Juvenile Team which has a very enviable record going for it at writing. being a midget player these days. “I’m .happy coaching the local juveniles We’ve got a team and I guess there’s not as much pressure on you as in midget hockey. I enjoy it anyway." BY FRED SIMPSON 7' Don’t Forget The Juveniles I get the feeling that to play for a juvenile hockey team is tantamount to being banished to a leper colony. No one seems to really be inter- ested in you any more. You’re a hockey “has been” or “never was” at 17 or 18 Years of age. All the glory goes with being a midget, then a junior and then and then an NHL hockey star.

JANUARY 11, 1973 j “Everything seems to come ‘at once. We keep outshoot- 'ing the opposition but the ‘ puck just won‘t go in. I keep 1 telling the guys that the only way to get out of a slump is by hard work Sooner or lat- ‘er the goals will start com- [ ing." The Rams were bolstered ‘by two players from the lRichmond Hill Legion Mid- lgets in the persons of Steve {Morrison and Kevin Brillin- ger. Coach Storey was the only one to make the hallowed circle and he will lead the West against the East 1eam. The Nats didn’t fare very well at all in the All-Star Voting. In fact, they didn‘t fare at all as far as the players w e r e concerned. None made the west team despite leading that partic- ular division in every cate- gory. Ajax led the Nats 4-1 at one point before the Vaughan boys got to Ryckman for two goals in the last two min- utes of the game, Paul Clark scored twice for Vaughan with Ron Bob- bette getting the other one. For Ajax it was Calvin Pettit scoring twice with Jim Hesâ€" iin and John Fielding get- ting the others. “I'm particularly happy with the way the Bobbette. John Cook and Clark line is going,“ stated Storey. “The problem at the moment is that the other lines aren't go- ing as well as earlier.” He considers that Bobbette line as “one of the best in the league right now." Storey is also satisfied with his defence which has been bolstered by the re- turn from Bowling Green of Glen Barnett who was an Allâ€"Star defender for the Nats last season. “Glen gives us good puck control, he can get it out of his end and that has made a tremendous difference for Goalie Ray Bough has also been playing well for the Nats in the absence of in- jured John Volpe but “he lacks a little experience. But he's been making some good saves for us." He credited newly-acquir- ed from Sudbury Wolves Goalie Mike Ryckman as be- ing the major difference. J ‘ Vaughan Nats Win 2 Of 3 Drop 4-3 Game To [0wa Ajax “He played phenomenally in the nets for the Ajax team and he made the difference. He seemed to pick the whole team up and they came on strbng." us." The five-man defensive combination worked out well as it accounted for the Rams‘ second goal which started them on the comeback trail culminating in the final two tying goals. Both Morrison and Brillâ€" inger are solidly built and strong on their skates and throw their weight around with abandonment. “I was happy we had them." said Brimblecombe. “Tth played very well." T«he Rams' goalscorers were Dave Hill, Bellavane. Craig Terry and Jim Clem- Both took regular turns and fitted in very well on defence. Morrison also took a few shifts at centre ice in the third period when Coach Brimblecombe decided to go with five defencemen. The Rams still lead the pack followed by the dangerous Wexford Raiders in second place. “It was a good game, we played well, but so did Ajax,” was the way Nats' Coach George Storey summed the contest up. “We were definitely ailâ€" ing," agreed Richmond Hill Coach Karl ‘Brimblecomb. “Between this and the facL that we are in a slump we were in tough shape. Vaughan Nationals lost a 4-3 game to lowly Ajax Sunday night but two previous wins enabled them to stay close to the top in third place in the red-hot Provincial Junior “A” race. Out of the lineâ€"up due to the flu bug were regulars Paul Terry, Jack Guest, and Mike Hart- man. Glen Sharpley, also suffering from the malady, took a couple of shifts after getting out of sick-bed but was forced to call it quits and return home. Rookie Jim Clement popped the tying goal in at the 18:35 mark of the last period assisted by Cgaig Terry and Tony Bellavance. Edge Weston 4-3 Flu-Stricken Rams Tie Downsview A flu-riddled Richmond Hill Rams Hockey Team got off the ice in the third period Sunday night to struggle to a 4-4 tie against the Downs- view Beavers in Downsview. NAT NOTES The game itself provided more than enough thrills as the Oak Ridges squad trailed 2-0 at the end of the first period on Markham goals by Mike Splonick and Dune MacDonald. Richmond Hill outshot the Beavers 48 to 39 on the game but trailed 1-0 after the first period and 3-1 going into the third. The third period saw a scoreless duel until 18:34 when Robbie Sackfield broke up ice, carried over the blue- line. He neatly flipped the puck between a defender’s legs to Greg Woloski who hit the webbing from 15 feet out on a hard drive. Jim Roffey also assisted. Thirteen seconds later the Kings struck again as Bill Gundine took a pass from John Ranieri and the puck was in the net again and it was all over. It was a come-from-behind victory Saturday night as well as Markham‘s Tom Clar- idge opened the scoring at 13:10 of the first period. Oak Ridges came out fly-J ing in the second period and broke through at 3:10 as Robbie Sackfield hit paydirt on a pass from Richvale new-‘ comer Barry May. The roof lifted a little at 19:23 of the same period when Bill Gunaine popped the puck home assisted byl Terry Rice and Bruce Hip-l kiss. I Monday night's actioner saw a total of 29 penalties mete-d out including a game misconduct to Kings’ Coach Dan Madalcno and player Dave Van Nostrand. Van Nostrand got the thumb at the 18:39 mark of the first period after taking a tripping penalty and dis- puting the call too vocifer- ously. He initially received a 10â€"minute misconduct and then a game one when he slammed his stick against the boards in disgust. Coach Madaleno followed seconds later as he also protested too vociferously. Vaughan plays host to Dixie tonight (Thursday) at Maple Arena and play back to-back games with Wexford Saturday and Sunday. Sat- urday‘s game is in Wexford and Sunday‘s at Maple.

Goalie Torry Haviland came up with another good game in the nets. Haviland has played in the last four games for the Kings while Larry Clews was on a sab- batical to Florida. The Kings had a relatively easy time of it against Pene- tang Wednesday of last week downing that team 7-2 in a game at Oak Ridges.
