Tamahnous Theatre Society from Vancouver, will Letter to the Editor Parent Answers Criticism by Mr. Ice Chips Dear Sir: Tam writing in aed to the letter to the editor by Mr. Ice Chips: in last week's Castlegar News entitled, “Hoc- key and What jt is Not All About”. In reading the heading of this article, I really thought I was going to read something of value, but instead it was just a lot of criticism of the people who help to support local Minor Oh yes'Mr. Ice Chips, get your statistics right. Your first criticism was- a stop watch. which she did not carry, but a paper and pencil, yes.’ On inquiring she felt as a “team mother” it was her responsibil- ity to see that each player be treated equally.-I'm asking you Mr. Ice Chips, “is that so wrong”? . Her three reasons for this is as follows: To help the coach from IT want to be on the record as picking Hector Gervais to win the Macdonald's Brier for Alberta this year. T've always thought he was one of the best curlers in the country. He's a great shot-* maker, and nobody is) any better at playing catch’ up. He can take the game right away from you, He was down 52 playing the sixth end in one of the * Consols games in Calgary and nobody would bet ‘against him. You just knew that when you get to the 12th end, he was gonna be close. He's got a good rink this year. His third, Ron Anton is playing well again, and he’s real. good on swingy ice. * Hector loves to play the come around game. He'll defy anybody to play come around with him, and his.third has got to be a guy who can make the come around and drop it in front of the tee and with Anton, it gets there. The big difference in the Gervais rink between 1961 when he won the Brier and 1962 when he lost in ‘a playoff was Want to Sell Your House?

Matt Baldwin Sponsored by TRI-X AUTO BODY AND ENTERPRISES that Anton. was . absolutely outstanding when he won, but the next year he was going to ‘school and not curling as much, and it showed. His front end, Warren Hansen and Darry] Sutton have aa been ‘playing ‘super, and :th getting telephone calls and complaints from the parent. To ‘have an answer if approached by a parent. To answer any complaint by a boy about not getting on the ice enough. ° Now Mr. Ice Chips, if the team mother has it all down on paper that they are being treated fairly, they have no complaints. In’ signing up .to. play hockey on a house team, ‘it didn’t state that you had to be'a super star or that you sit off if goals are needed. I always felt that most of the parents were interested in the boys: having fun, learning sportsmanship . and how to play the game, “pags the puck”. I feel that. hockey is summed up in this motto; “‘ ‘> not if you win or lose, but i how you play the game”. fall the games that I have attended, I have never heard, “I'll sit out, we need a goal”. It is‘ more like, “can I go -on, can I go on”. Think about it! Now, regarding” the rep’ it,has: ‘who has are real g Hector has had a tough time with his. weight—not his draw weight—in the last: few years, but now he seems ‘to have the problem beaten." He. always was’ good at’ making the pressure shots. The tougher they are, the more ‘likely he is to make it. He was in: against some tough rinks’in the Alberta playdown, Mel Watchorn from the Peach had been to the Brier . the ‘last. two years, and Ron Northcott has the experience and he’s got the desire to keep shooting for.a fourth Brier win. Hector plays a style that is really enjoyable to watch and . you've got to make the come arounds and the wicks and rolls to: stay with him. It’s a‘ real thinking game. Tl be ‘amazed if he’s any worse than 8-2, and he might even be 9-1 in the Brier. It all depends on the ice. That's all for the season, Hope you have. enjoyed: my thoughts on the game. Good curling until next year. viewed alf the rep team playoff games played in Castlegar, that players considered as’ spares have played the games and the regular’ rep team members were not playing. Mr. Ice Chips it is not how : often they play.: The time stated seems to be a little out of focus. It is not what is written, but how it is written. So let's’ stick more to statistics next time.
