(Continued from Page 15) CAN’T SKATE 0R SHOOT “They just aren’t ready to play Midget hoc- key when they arrive. They don’t know how to shoot, carry the puck, skate or pass. These are all fundamentals and should have been taught them right from the beginning." He doesn’t mean you “have to drill them into the ground at an early age. But, goodness, you can have fun and still teach the basics so the kid will be ready to be taught a system when he reaches Midget 2126-", 7 . ‘ 16 THE LIBERAL, Richmond Hill, Ontario, Thursday, Nov. 1, 1973 of the game. “It’s early in the season to have any firm comment,” he said, “but the team has showed well in the first few games. Except for the last one,” he winced. .â€" - . .nI,,, A wuvuyu ‘u-u v Artemchuk thinks too many minor hockey coaches worry about their win and loss records at the lower level instead of forgetting about it and teaching the basics. “If you teach the kids proper basics the wins will eventually come,” he said. He thinks a step in the right direction has come locally with the staging of coaching clinics. As for the make-up of his present team, Pete is being strictly non-committal at this stage “Very frankly," he continued, “we have a lot of raw material out there but there’s a lot of potential, quite a bit of talent. It’s up to me to bring it put of them.”_ W" i’gt'éfhn-{Qév‘éiinisn’t indulging in deep soul- searching. He knows he has an all-rookie squad going for him this season and it all means a lot of work. He was referring back to Sunday's 4-3 loss to Aurora (they had previously downed the same team twice) which brought the conversation back to where it began, “We played fairly well until we panicked and then we started scrambling all over the ice. Simply panicked. They went right back to road hockey. Which is what I’m talking about. If they are taught the basics in the first place they won’t panic like that.” A ‘ _ A quick run-down of Pete’s as yet unsetttled lineup finds Jerry Tipold and Mike Doyle minding the nets. Defencemen comprise Brian Kellett and Dave Berseth; Mike Gallaugher and Kerry Minor (both minor midge_t_s). _ “It’s a good, all solid defence from the goalies out,” states Artemchuck. His first line to date up front is one centred by Tony Robinson with Bob Russell on left Wing and Bob Wallingford on right wing; the second has Arnie Vanderwaite between Steve Hopson and John Oakley. “We‘re not set on our third line,” continued Artemchuk “and the positions are pretty well open. Right now I have Wayne Court centreing Jeff Miller and Bob McCullagh but there are two other fellows competing. They are Rick Camp- bell and Steve Hodgins who has just come off an injury.” Maybe a big, big winner. You never know. One thing for certain. The kids will be going for broke for him. It’s the only way you play hockey for Mr. Artemchukn Few final comments re gabfest with Artem- chuk on things generally. Pete is still baffled as to why one of his former minor hockey players, Jerry Methe, still hasn’t made it to the NHL. What it all amounts to is that it’s too early in the season to know anything for sure. But if Coach Artemchuk’s record holds it’s very likely that he’ll have a representativeuteam out there. “I’m mystified,” he conceded. “Jerry’s down at Hershey but why isn't he in the NHL? Gosh, he was the best player to come out of here . . . jumped right from midget intp Major “A”._ When I read about some of those other guys making it I have to wonder.” So do I. I figured Jerry would have it in a breeze in the NHL this season. I'm still positive he'll be there soon. He’s got to be. An all-star defenceman three years running with Oshawa? C’mon, fellows, open yourfieyes up there. Bétter ledvénovig takén up. too much time already. B3, the way, get down to the arena this Sunday at 1 pm and watch Pete’s charges. They play Orillia. SURPRISE ? There was no one more surprised than I when Al Sims popped up on defence with Boston Bruins Saturday night in a game against the Maple Leafs. No one should have been least surprised. In a _way, that is. Earlier in the season Richmond Hill Rams’ Coach Karl Brimblecombe had mentioned to me that A1, a former Ram, was in the Boston chain. Must confess I don‘t remember too much about Al‘s stay with the Rams but he must have a lot going for him to be partnered with Orr. Simply great. Intended to mention but forgot to last week that young Rick Lusk of Oak Ridges is back in business. Rick is the fellow who had his hockey equipment disappear at Bond Lake Arena a couple of weeks ago. It all turned out great be- cause the equipment was returned intact to the arena. Which goes to show that there are some real-live happy endings still lurking around. On that happy note, goodbye. Oops, back again. Should mention two things in one breath. Firstly, congratulate Richmond Hill Rams’ Goalie Brian Stankieweicz for his 4-0 shutout of Markham Sunday night. But also apologize to the Rams' other fine goalie, Doug Brumwell. I did Doug somewhat an in- justice re that 9-2 loss by the Rams to Seneca. A caller informed me that the first three goals were on Stankiewicz and the rest on Brumwell. Maybe the first two? I don’t know but you get what I mean. As the caller said, it’s tough enough losing 9-2 without being blamed for more goals than you let in. So be it.

Travelways Riders Beat Barrie 3-1 In Their First League Game It took the Greenmen a full two periods to overcome the humbleness of being bumped. thumped and gener- ally banged around. Randy Martin then took it into his head to lead the lads to the foes and set up Ron Abernathy for the first comeback goal. Then late in the third period Randy tied it up on a nice setup from Paul Kisko.

Starting Goalie Paul Norman was taken out after taking a Shot in the ribs and Duncan Condy rose to the occasion in relief. DeGeer got the first local tally assisted by Dysart; Danny McVeigh was set up by Lloyd and Paul Kisko put the game on ice assisted by Matchett. ’Tfiis Friday night the Rid- ers journey to CFB Borden for a league game at 8:30 pfn.

Lose One, Tie One Richmond Hill Minor Bantam “As”, sponsored by Tournaments Inc., were guests of Aurora Minor Bantams. It was end to end hockey all the way. Aurora scored the first goal with only 30 seconds left in the first per- iod. The second goal was an about face for the Hillers as Phil Wood put it away from Danny Girard, tying up the score. Chris Nigh scored from Jamie Gropp and Frank Nigro making it 2-1 for the Greenmen. In the third period, Aurora came on with lots of muscle and hustle and scored twice on their opponents. putting them in front 3-2. After recovering from the initial shock of Aurora's hard-hitting entry in this third period, good old Wood- sy came up with the tying goal from Jerry Leger. The nets were tended by Stephen Price and Dino Cap- otosto. who both did their fair share in helping with this tied exhibition game. It just wasn’t hockey night in Richmond Hill October 28 as Tournaments Inc. vbowed 5-1 to Thornhill. Thornhill's The international rum SXBGDBT Represented in Canada by Acadian Distillers "Red Machine" outshot, out. skated and outhustled the Greenmen-. It started out well enough when Phil Woods scored un- assisted. That was the begin- ning and the end of the scoring for the locals. Thornhill tied it up in the second period, which turned into a “Hodge Podge Lodge" as Tournaments just didn‘t seem to click and Thomhill came up with a 5-1 victory. Dino Capotosto and Ste- phen Price shared the net- minding duties and both came up with some very fine saves all through the game. â€" The Phantom MINOR BANTAM "B" Clair Lea 10 Victoria & Grey Trust 0 Victoria 8: Grey Trust played their first exhibition game of the season last Sat- urday night in the old arena and were trounced 10-0 by a fast flying, well conditioned Clair Lea Club of the THL. It would seem the game was somewhat premature since the team had only three tryouts and had not really practised as a unit. Games like this, however, will serve as an aid to the coaches to finally pick their team. The real bright spot of the game was the performance of the three goalies. Kevin Brown and Mark Porter made several key saves, while Steve Shadoff, besides kicking out shots, displayed real courage when he refused to leave the game even though he was hit by a hard slapshot above the right knee. The way the mis- siles were flying around Steve's head. one could not blame him for using the painful injury as an excuse to head for the nearest fall- out shelter! The team underwent a strenuous Monday morning practice at 7 am when fund- amental aspects of the game were stressed. This is a proud team, and they realize that one game does not a season make. MIDGETS Aurora 4, Legion 3 Richmond Hill's Legion Midgets lost their first league game 4-3 to Aurora last Sun- day in the new arena. On this afternoon the Leg- ion, who had previously de- feated Aurora 9-1 and 2-1 in exhibition tilts. brought a potent offence, but for some mysterious reason, left their defensive skills at home. Outshooting their opponents 31-13, the Hillers missed enough dhances to double their goal output. but the hustling Aurora team proved to be the opportunists. Before the Legion fans even sat down, Vince Giles rapped home a goal in just 41 seconds. and Aurora later added a counter on a deflect- ed shot. Bobby McCullough finally pulled the trigger for the Legion in the second in a new package. New lower price. Same fine international quality. Same subtle delicious Trinidad taste. Famous for flavour since 1824. period on a pass from Jeff Miller, but Aurora made it 3-1 when they caught a Leg- ion defenceman up the ice to score a pretty goal. The Hillers charged out of the dressing room after a short intermission to produce two quick goals and knot the game at 3-3. Bobby Russell combined with Rob Walling- ford. and Arnold Van Der Weyde scored from Richard Campbell and John Oakley. Aurora had come to play. however. and they potted the winner with six minutes re- maining, The Legion boys pressed hard for the rest of the game, but could not beat the Aurora goalkeeper. Tony Robinson came within an eyelash of tying the game, and on an- other occasion, with their goalie out of the net, the puck stopped on the goal line. But on this particular after- noon. Aurora triumphantly left the ice. The Vaughan Nationals maintained their lead in the Provincial Junior “A” race despite a split over the weekend which saw them lose 3-2 to Wexford Satur- day night in Wexford and then waliop Whitby 7-2 Sun- day at Maple Community Centre. Nats Split Games Lose 3-2, Win 7-2 It was a different story Saturday night as Wexford's Paul Demarco opened lthe scoring in the first period and maintained that lead until about the middle of the second period. Brent Bowen scored twice for the Nats with the other goals going to Jim Tyrrell. Alf Lamou‘reux, Bob 03- borne. Warren Holmes amd Ray Koopman. Then came a weired minute and 12 seconds which saw three goals scored as Rick Grisdale tied it for Vaughan only to see Bob Keeler of Wexford score in rapid succession. Seconds after that Doug Sellars came back for Vaughan and it was a 2-2 tie. Just like that. Steve - Young and Tom MacLeish scored for Whitby.
