They still had time to pursue other sports or interests. “Tm asking the question, does the hockey arena today provide a worthwhile environment in which to ring tp © LidT” wonders Sub Hale. CARA rotree Based on the aetion on the ice — the fighting, the — before and won't end in Today, minor hockey begins in some children are even back in school — many parts of the country until May. During those nine months, says the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association, there are too many games, and this leads to too much pressure and not enough fun. President Murray Costello said early this week the CAHA wants fun to again become a major part of minor hockey. Tt got lost ywhere among the ing number of games — some 10- and 11-year-olds play more than 80 a season — and the win-at-all-costs attitude. the the hitting from behind — and the action in the stands, Nadin answers his question the same as many parents. “I feel personally that it's not a good environment. The young kids see a lot of fighting and brawling on the ice. Its not good thet they/re expssed to the prefaatty from the fans. It's not good that they see parents berating officials.” This created what Costello calls “survival skills hockey.” Children who can't skate are thrown into game situations where they are ridiculed by opponents, humiliated by insensitive fans, berated by the coach and then often embarrassed by being benched. It used to be said hockey taught sportsmanship, discipline and camaraderie. Today, we see 10-year-old opponents fighting after games and teammates blaming each other for mistakes. And discipline? Does that even exist in hockey? Hockey used to be part of a boy’s growing up. Today. with hockey five, six or even seven times a week, the joys of growing up are lost for many youngsters. Virtually from the first day children are put on a team there is pressure to be better. “And the more pressure you get the more things happen,” re prec Usually the things that happen are detrimental to the game.

Pair battle for puck during scrimmage Friday night at Castlegar Rebels ELK VALLEY DROPS OUT OF KIJHL By SIMON BIRCH Staff Writer The Kootenay International Junior Hockey League is on thin ice as it gets ready to face off for the 1986-87 season following the resignation of its president and the withdraw! of yet another team this week. John Hall of Cranbrook, who took over the presidency from Fruitvale’ Terry Skarbo three months ago, resigned Wednesday for health reasons at a league meeting in Creston. At the same meeting, Elk Valley Raiders withdrew from the league because of the team’s failure to find a coach for the season. The Raiders’ withdrawal leaves the KIJHL with eight teams that will be split equally into two divisions. It training comp. Camp continues this week at the Community Complex Cashews Proto by Ron Normon also forced the hasty reworking of the 1986-87 schedule. Castlegar Rebels president Earl Salekin said Satur day the new schedule will mean more travel for the remaining teams. “It’s a great concern right now for league survival,” Salekin said. “With the ninth team dropping out, it will create a greater burden for the other teams. We'll have to travel more.” Salekin said the KIJHL west division vice-president is working on a new 42-game schedule that should be mailed to the teams early next week. He said finances are the greatest concern of all clubs, with Rossland apparently on the shakiest ice. “There is maybe a good chance that if they don't have a good start to the season they will fold,” Salekin said. As for the Rebels, Salekin said, “We can see our way through this year O.K.” “I have high hopes of having a good, competitive team this year,” he said. “This is the reason I say we'll survive. The league granted Grand Forks Border Bruins a leave of absence at Wednesday's meeting. Nelson Maple Leafs and Creston Clippers withdrew from the league earlier this year. 17-HIT ATTACK Yankees give Red Sox blues NEW YORK (AP) — Dan Pasqua and Dave Winfield each hit home runs in New York's 17-hit assault and the Yankees held on Saturday to beat the Boston Red Sox 11-6 in American League play. Pasqua, making his first start since Tuesday, hit a two-run homer in the first, his 14th. Winfield hit a three-run homer in New York's five-run fifth inning as the Yankees took a 9-0 lead. Wayne Tolleson also keyed the Yankees’ offence with four hits in four at-bats. The Red Sox scored six runs and chased Yankees left-hander Dennis Rasmussen, 15-5, in the sixth inning. Rasmussen had given up only one hit going into the inning but left after allowing five more in a row, including Don Baylor's three-run homer. The Yankees scored two more runs in the sixth inning to make it 11-6 with the help of two errors by Red Sox shortstop Spike Owen and RBI singles by Mike Pagliarulo and Willie Randolph. INDIANS 8 A's 6 Reliver Jay Howell threw a pair of wild pitches with runners on third base in the eigth inning Saturday, allowing the Cleveland Indians to break a 66 tie and defeat the Oakland A's 86. The Indians have won all eight of their games with Oakland this season. Bill Mooneyham, 4-5, walked Joe Carter and Cory Snyder to open the eighth. Howell relieved and Pat Tabler sacrificed the runners to second and third. DETROIT 7 BALTIMORE 2 A bases-loaded single by Darrell Evans and a bases-loaded triple by Chet Lemon keyed a five-run Detroit seventh inning as the Tigers beat the Baltimore Orioles 7-2 Saturday With the score even at 2-2, Tom Brookens started the Detroit seventh with a single and Alan Trammell followed with a double. After Mike Flanagan, 7-10, struck out Kirk Gibson, Larry Herndon was walked to load the bases. After Evans lined a shot to right scoring Brookens and Trammell, Ken Dixon relieved Flanagan. Darnell Coles was given an intentional walk, after a double steal, to load the bases for Lemon, who tripled off the centre field wall, driving in three more runs. REDS 3 DODGERS 0 Tom Browning pitched a five-hitter and Bo Diaz keyed a three-run sixth inning with a run-scoring single Saturday as the Cincinnati Reds defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers 3-0 in National League play. Browning, 18-12, struck out four, walked none and did not allow a runner past first base en route to his fourth complete game, his second shutout of the season and the sixth of his career. BRAVES 4GIANTS 1 Dale Murphy belted a three-run homer and the Atlanta Braves snapped a six-game losing streak Saturday with a 4-1 National League victory over the San Francisco Giants. Right-hander Rick Mahler, 13-15, yielded nine hits, but the Giants didn't score until the seventh inning. Mahler finished with four strikeouts and three walks in pitching his seventh complete game. Atlanta took a 1-0 lead in the first inning off rookie left-hander Terry Mulholland, 1-7. Billy Sample led off with a single and advanced on a grounder and Murphy's single before scoring on Bob Horner's base hit. RANGERS 14 TWINS 1 MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Texas hit a club record seven home runs, including two each by Darrell Porter and Ruben Sierra, as the Rangers beat the Minnesota Twins 14-1 Saturday, ending a six-game losing streak. Texas rocked starter Bert Blyleven, 15-12, for five home runs, lifting the total hit off him this season to 44, breaking an American League record. Pete O'Brien hit a solo homer, his 21st, in the first inning and Pete Incaviglia hit his 25th in the second inning Mike Mason, 7-3, scattered eight hits over the first seven innings before being followed by two relievers.

But Moon, a former star with the Edmonton Eskimos of the Canadian Football League, says he won't be blinded into thinking he's achieved lasting adoration. He was then roasted as the season degenerated into a 5-9 effort with Moon receiving much of the blame for a season gone sour. “Tm taking it all in stride, just like I did when things weren't going as good as they are now,” Moon said. “I know that in one week's time they could be all over me again. “You are only as good as your last ball game.” Moon completed 14 of 21 passes against the Packers for 218 yards and two .

It’s a feeling Moon wants to last “At certain times over the past two years, I've felt this comfortable with the offence and what I'm doing,” Moon said. “But this is the longest stretch that I've had and I don't want it to stop.” The Browns battled the Super Bow! champion Chicago Bears down to the final two minutes before losing 41-31 in their season opener last week. Marshall seeks revenge TORONTO (CP) — Middle line backer Dave Marshall of the Toronto Argonauts has a little extra incentive today when he takes the field against the B.C. Lions. Marshall, a 25-year-old rookie out of Eastern Michigan, remembers July 11 in Vancouver, the last time the Argos met the Lions when the defending Grey Cup champions came from behind to take a 28-17 decision *fter Toronto held a 14-0 lead “I think if I'd played the whole game, we stilt would have come out on top,” says Marshall. “But I was coughing up blood and the doctors didn’t think it would be a good idea for me to play the second half.” Marshall had suffered a ruptured blood vessel in a lung after being hit from behind during a punt coverage play “I thought the guy should have been penalized, but he wasn't,” said the six-foot-three. 220-pound linebacker “But, believe me, I haven't forgotten “No one puts me out of a game and now I'm going to make him pay for it He knows who he is, that's all that matters. And so do I WAITS FOR CHANCE Another Argo with something to prove is quarterback Tim Cowan, 26, who was traded to Toronto after letting it be known he was unhappy with his backup role in B.C. Cowan may see action today if Con dredge Holloway can't shake off his chest injury suffered last Sunday against the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. How ever, J.C.

The Argos-Lions game is to start at 10:30 a.m. Castlegar time with CTV coverage Habs like college players MONTREAL (CP) — He doesn't play defence, but centre Brian Williams is trying to be like Craig Ludwig. Williams is one of several American born rookies in the Montreal training camp who hope to graduate to the National Hockey League club from U.S. college ranks. Ludwig went from the University of North Dakota directly to the Can adiens. Williams, a 23-year-old native of Fargo, N.D.. played at the same sehool as Ludwig. While some youngsters with pro fessional aspirations have difficulty deciding between junior hockey and the college game, Williams said he had no such problem. “Both my parents got their degrees so it was always expected that the kids would too,” he saic. “I think I'm a better person and player than I would have been had I not gone to college Williams seems to have had the best of both worlds. After starring in high school, he took a year off and played junior hockey for Sioux City, Iowa. where he was an all-star The Canadiens saw something they liked and selected him during the seventh round of the 1982 amateur entry draft. After that, it was simply a case of waiting until he graduated As far as the Montreal! organization is concerned, a player going that route becomes less of a gamble. You double your chances of making a good pick with a college player because you have four years to look at him,” said Montreal assistant general manager Andre Boudrias. But there is one drawback: National Collegiate Athletic Association rules says once a college player so much as steps on the ice at a pro training camp he loses his amateur status A player who tres and fails to make a pro team forfeits his hockey scholar ship and is left out in the cold Boudrias, aside from disliking the rules affecting those who try to go pro said the college game is advantageous particularly if a player is lacking in one or two skills.
