Alliance juveniles ousted player (9199’ a Ineligible Markham students help in athletics at Thornhaven school Anger. was the order of the day ThUrsday night of last week when members of the local club were getting ready to take to the ice for the fifth game of the series and were informed there would be no game, that the series was over. “The juvenile club had booked the ice-time for 8:30 pm. had announced there would be a game, and then at seven minutes after 6 pm we get the official word that there would be no game.” Protest movement Speaker was Richmond Hill Minor Hockey Association President Bob Reeves who is leading a protest movement along with Town Representative Team Convenors Tom Graham and John Mulvihill and club officials. The decision took a 7-3 win away from the juvenile club and bounced them right out of the OMHA semi-finals series with Trenton which they trailed three games to one‘ Richmond Hill hockey officials are incensed over what they term “the high- handed and even arrogant” approach adopted by the OMHA in ruling a player on the Alliance Sports Juveniles inelligible. Reeves claims that the OMHA decision, as handed down by OMHA Secretary Vern McCallum, was ar- bitrarily made without “any of us even being present to explain our side of the matter. Talk about a kangeroo court." Should be at our hanging It's Reeve‘s viewpoint that the OMHA should have “notified both parties by registered letter, have set a date for the hearing. So what it we had played another game? The decision can be made retroactive. “This way we weren’t even given the opportunity to be at our own hanging. This is Canadian justice? You couldn't get away with it in the courts.“ What’s it all about? The chain of events started when the Alliance Juveniles initiated an inquiry into the elligibility of some of the Trenton players under the residential rule which states any player has to be a resident in the town concerned as of a certain date and be able to prove it. Local team officials state that when they got nowhere they made an official protest, at a cost of $50. They learned later that Trenton had made a counter protest claiming that Alliance Coach Len Campbell had violated the rules by en- tering his club’s equipment room while serving a suspension under the 37- minutes penalty rule. Almost as a footnote, they also enquired about the elligibility of the Richmond Hill player. Lose protest States Reeves: “We lost our protest and didn’t even get to see the proof as to whether Trenton was using inelligible players. They then threw out the protest against Coach When you’re down three games to one and you come back to win the next three and take the series there’s got to be a reason. That’s what the Oak Ridges Alex Brockton Midgets have just got finished doing to Port Perry with back-to-back 6-2, 5-2 and 8-3 wins. The reason? States Coach John James: “For the three games I’ve been telling them to stay out of the penalty box. I’ve told them that all along. They finally listened to me.” Listen they did. Open Friday The Brocktons boys now open their best-ofâ€"seven OMHA “C” championship finals against Waterford Friday night at 8:30 pm at Bond Lake Arena. They play their second game at Bond Lake Sunday at 3 pm. Campbell but went along with the inelligible player part of it." From Richmond Hill The Alliance player in question has played all of his hockey in Richmond Hill, his parents reside here, and he was also a resident until attending McMaster University where he now has a residence also. The residence rule apparently states that a player must reside in an area where he plays 24 hours a day although he can receive permission to be with a team providing a residence form is filled and filed and ap- proved by the OMHA. States Tom Graham: Coach James pointed out that “I pointed out to the boys that when we had to win three games but we wouldn't be able to do it in the penalty box. “In the previous two losses we picked up 76 and 58 minutes in penalties. In one loss. they scored seven of their eight goals while we were Shorthanded.“ The team stayed out of the box after that and the three wins followed like clock- work ’Ridges Midgets fight back to eliminate Port Perry Advanced local government course is now available A more advanced municipal affairs course is now available to interested citizens.
