S09, 82 Castlégar News November 22, 1989 SPORTS Rider mania takes Regina REGINA (CP) — Saskatchewan residents are showing their green hearts are just about ready to burst with pride. The province has been overtaken by Rider mania as the upstart Roughriders head to Toronto to meet the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in Sunday's Grey Cup game. “It's almost impossible to put into words how people feel,"’ said Michael Zaplitny, operations manager for a Regina radio station, “There is a tremendous upswell of enthusiasm in the community and pride in the community and the province. On Tuesday more than 1,000 people waved green-and-white flags and balloons and cheered wildly at a chilly, snowy sendoff rally for the team at Regina’s city hall, Most of the fans then hopped on buses for a free ride to the air Port to say goodbye to the team a second time. **This is like a dream, really,’’ said Marlo Zacher, who was one year old the last time the Roughriders won the Grey Cup in 1966. ‘*The little green heart was going but I really didn't believe they could have made it this far. I think everybody here is still just beginning to believe it.”” Dressed in a green-and-white Roughrider jersey with green scarves tied around his neck, Zacher waved a huge, green team flag to rally the city hall crowd They didn't need much urging to chant ‘*Rider pride”’ over and over again and roar as the players and coaches were introduced. Money talks in the NHL By ALANADAMS The Canadian Press The next time a television camera zooms in on John Vanbiesbrouck of the New York Rangers, try to read the brand name on his goalie pads You can’t. Vanbiesbrouck uses pads manufactured by John Brown Sporting Goods of Collingwood, Ont., which refuses to participate in the NHL's On-Ice Brands Exposure Program Asaresult, Brown's logo has been obliterated by black paint The program was designed by NHL governors to control the look of the game. The governors fear players selling out to large companies and becoming on-ice billboards Had Vanbiesbrouck refused to paint his pads, he could have received a minor penalty. A second infraction would bring a game misconduct Last summer, the league decided to charge equipment manufacturers $10,000 for each brand-naine of equipment. So far, 37 have signed up. Brown, who has been supplying NHL goalies for 20 years, says the NHL won't guarantee him that the fee won't double or triple in sub: Sequent years “BIG BITE’ “It is a big bite,"’ says Brown, whose other clients include Wendel Young of the Pittsburgh Penguins, Greg Millen of the St. Louis Blues, **We are proud to be Riders and we are going to do everything we can to bri: that Grey Cup back here,”’ head coach John Gregory said before being drowned out by cheers. Even a two-hour wait, falling snow and -3 C temperatures couldn't put off the long-suffering Saskatchewan fans who wanted to catch a final glimpse of the players “It doesn’t matter,"’ said Rick Mochoruk, a Saskatchewan season-ticket holder who had his five-year-old son, Derek, perched on his shoulders, ‘This doesn’t happen too often. It’s been a long time. It could be 40 below’and I think you'd get the same turnout here.** The Roughriders last played in the Grey Cup in 1976 and missed the playoffs for 11 straight seasons after that. **The Saskatchewan Roughriders have the most loyal fans in all of football,’” said Saskatchewan Premier Grant Devine, who declared the week of Nov, 22 to Nov. 29 Rider Pride week, Regina Mayor Doug Archer drew the only boos of the rally by uttering a single word — Hamilton.
