Nieuwendyk, a 21-year old centre wh signed with the Flames last Thursday, was appearing in his first NHL game after playing three seasons at Cornell Univer- sity. He scored at 10:03 of the second period to tie the score Mi at 2-2. Roberts, playing in his 23rd NHL, game, put. the Flames ahead at 13:54.

Doctors say Brad Horning, a centre with the Pats, will be paralysed for life as a result of spinal injuries he suffered when he was check- ed from behind and slammed head first into the boards during a WHL game against the Moose Jaw Warriors on March 1. Sauter will ask for the rule change at the league's annual meeting in Victoria in early June. “If a player can't see you there should be a penalty,” Sauter said Monday. “A good bodycheck is part of the game, but it’s awful tough on a player and his body when he can't see a guy coming.

Chances are none of them have heard of Elwood Threlfall, Dave Salloum or Bernie Pickett. Yet Threlfall, Salloum and Pickett were themselves considered among the best football prospects in Canada a few years ago. They are part of a suprisingly large group: prime draft picks who failed to make the grade in the CFL. In the NFL and, to a lesser extent, the NHL, glaring mistakes are seldom made in the early draft rounds. But in the CFL, the exercise seems to be little more than a crapshoot. Over the last 10 years, nearly half of the prime picks — first-roundérs and territorial selections — failed to play in the CFL or had a barely noticeable impact. The CFL's best players come from the United States and arenot involved in the draft, But often repeated wisdom suggests the teams with the beat Canadian talent have the most success. It would therefore seem logical that a club could become a winner through astute drafting. That axiom is only partly true in the CFL. Some, teams have done it. Toronto, for example, stockpiled draft picks during Willie Wood's tenure as head coach and it paid off after he was fired. STILL ACTIVE Ten players still active in the CFL last year were prime selections of the Argos in 1981 and 1982. Not coincidentally, the Argonauts jumped from last to first place in 1982 and won the Grey Cup the next season. But other teams have drafted well and played poorly. More than two-thirds of Ottawa's picks since 1977 have played in the CFL, yet the team’s won-lost record sincé that year is pitiful. Conversely, the team with perhaps the worst: draft record in the last 10 years is the one with five Grey Cup titles. Edmonton has drafted more than a dozen players who have never been heard from since. The reasons for the inconsistent results of the CFL draft are a mystery. Poor scouting doesn't seem likely, considering that the Eskimos have always had an expensive scouting staff and started the league's first talent-hunting co-operative. The best drafting team in the last 10 years has been in the B.C. Lions. FIND GEMS Of 25 prime picks in that period, 19 have played regularly in the CFL and several have been long-term starters. The Lions have also come up with more laté-round gems than any other team. Last year's draft may have been the most embarrassing one in CFL history. The top four picks — Kent Warnock, Rueben Mayes, Marcus Koch and Mike Schad — all spurned the Canadian league to play in the NFL. When Warnock, the first pick overall, returned to Calgary from an unsuccessful NFL tryout, he was relegated to the inactive list without playing a single down. Three other first-rounders were cut, something that almost never happens in the NFL or NHL. Will the 1987 draft be a repeat of 1986? Time will tell. But the lessons of the last 10 years are something for this year's starry-eyed top choices to ponder before they get too excited about their future. wav 0e loa HOMEGOODS FURNITURE WAREHOUSE ‘ves.-Sat., 9:30-5:30 China Creek “Drive a Little to Save a Lot” ‘’Here’s my card ALCON PAINTING & DECORATING 2649 FOURTH AVENUE an 8c cnet 365-3563 Gary Flemi: Dianna Kootnilooft ADVERTISING SALES R CASTGAR.
