B2 Castlegar News August 14, 1991 Nords fans distinctly Awards “By Daniel Sanger QUEBEC (CP) - The more Eric Lindros makes clear his reluctance to play hockey in a Quebec Noridques uniform, the fewer are the fans who want to see him in one. That's the message deliv- ered in newspaper columns, on radio talk-shows and by people in the street, as the city bristles at what it per- ceives as another slight from the junior hockey sensation. Still smarting over his his refusal to obey hockey tradi- tion on draft day and don the Nordiques sweater, Quebec City is now collectively out- raged at rumors of the money he is demanding to play for the team ~ $3 million for one year. The report — hotly denied by Lindros's agent - have Quebecers of all stripes say- ing the Nordiques should let the player seen as a possible savior for the long-time cel- lard-dweller cool his heels in the juniors for another year. “Let him go back to Oshawa (where Lindros played for the Generals of the Ontario Hockey League.) Who needs him if he is going to be so greedy,” said taxi-driver Gervais Lebel. “He's done nothing so far and you have to prove your- self before asking for that kind of cash.” Some people feel Lindros should be traded away for quality players who would be more enthusiastic about join- ing the Quebec club. No . everyone agrees, however. dislike Lindros’ act “As long as he is playing junior there's no chance he will come to Quebec in a rival uniform to beat the Nordiques,” stated Le Journal de Quebec sports columnist Bertrand Raymond. The call to let Lindros stew in the juniors for another year was first put forth in the hockey-obsessed daily news- paper. The sentiment reflects an almost unanimous opinion that the 18-year-old Lindros and his entourage are arro- gant and insulting. "It's certainly insulting to be treated this way, like we're an NHL city and a reai hock- ey-loving one.” Furois and Lebel both say if Lindros gets the money he's asking for it will be them — as fans — who end up paying for it in thier ticket prices. "There's no athlete on the planet that is worth $3 mil- lion a year. (Wayne) Gretzky, (Mario) Lemiex and Lindros together aren't worth that much,” Furois said. Nordiques management acknowledges Lindros's aloof attitude has poisoned the atmosphere somewhat. “It's a very emotional ques- tion. For hm or against him, people are very emotional about it,” said-club spokes- man Jean Martineau. Lindros's agent said the strong feelings might just be the basis for his client's reluc- tance to play in Quebec. continued from B1 events at every meet, He's always right in the thick of things,” he said. Chernoff, 17, who has indicat- ed that this will be her last year with the club as she plans to go to university next year, also picked up the club awards for best female butterfly swimmer and most points collected at meets. Kanigan got an honorable mention in the best male butter- fly category won by Chris Cook and second place in the atten- dance award. Carew, who saw, the Aqua- nauts have their best season overall in several years, said he and Pilla had some tough choic- es to make, “They are difficult because we do have a lot of swimmers who are good in a lot of events but Robson Recreation Society SUMMER BINGO Thurs., Aug. 22 Castlegar Community Complex EARLY BIRD 6:30 P.M.
