American Hockey League

Strong contest

HALIFAX (CP) — When
the American Hockey
League Hockey League
opens its 1981-82 season Oct.
7, hockey fans hope a Mari-
time sports rivalry that has
been non-existant for almost
two decades will spring back
to life.

It has been that long since
major hockey teams from
Halifax, Fredericton and
Moncton, N.B. competed
against each other in the
same league. But this year's
AHL lineup includes a team
in eahe centre.

New to the AHL's North-
ern Division will be Freder-
icton Express, carrying the
eclors of the parent Quebec
Nordiques of the National
Hockey League.

New Brunswick Hawks,
Nova Scotia Voyageurs and
Marine Mariners, last year's
Calder Cup finalists, will
form the divisional compe-
tition.

Voyageur coach John
Brophy says the regional and
geographical rivalry — Maine
Mariners playing out of Port-
land, Me. — should result in
exciting hockey. i

“I'm looking for a rivalry
between the three teams,”
says Brophy, an Antigonish,
N.S., native who in the
off-season replaced Bert
Templeton behind the Voya-
geur bench.

“Each team has eight home
games against the others. If
we can't get something go-
ing, then we all must be
asleep.”

Maine coach Bob McCam-

mon echoed Brophy's senti-
ments: “There should be a
great rivalry there with the
three teams and the un-
balanced schedule.”

He said a new scheduling
formula will also allow the
remaining teams — Hershey
Bears, Adirondack Red
Wings, New Haven Night-
hawks, Springfield Indians,
Binghamton Whalers, Roch-
ester Americans and Erie
Blades — to cover the four
centres and drop their ex-
penses.

McCammon said he ex-
pects the calibre of the AHL
to be higher this year be-
cause of the money and de-
mise of the World Hockey
Association,

“All the teams are a lot
younger now, players are on
their way up, not on their
way down,” he said. “And
since the WHA folded, I've
noticed the calibre has im-
proved a lot. There's more
compensation for the jobs
now.” +

He said the Mariners will
continue to play an aggres-
sive sytle of hockey until it
backfires on them.

“You get a lot of respect
when you have a physical
team. Your own players are
playing without fear. They
are confident, they go into
the corner and bring the puck
out.”

Jacques Demers of the
Express says he is ready to
make the adjustment to AHL
life after coaching one season
in the NHL and six in the

Students of Stanley Hum-

The $1 ticket will provide
much-needed funding for

ricular sport and activity
programs have actually in-
creased over the last few
years,”-. says B.G. - School
Sports Executive: Director,
Dca Steen.

“Few people may be aware
that financing for these activ-
ities is not readily available
from school boards or at best,
is very limited. Volunteer
teacher/coaches have consis-
tently looked for funding
outside of the school system
to keep programs such as
basketball, football, volley-
ball and track and field alive.
With the unprecendented
increase in travel and equip-
ment costs and the need, if
not demand by students for
activities, at no time has an
appeal for funding from the

ity been more ur-

costs and other items re-
quired to maintain extra-cur-
ricular sport and activity
programs.

The sports draw is being
stages for the tenth year by
the B.C. School Sports Fed-
eration and has raised over
two million dollars for sec-
ondary schools.

“It appears that in spit® of
declining enrolment, partici-

says.

“My satisfaction this year
will come from watching the
players develop,” Demers
said. “For now, I'm happy
where I am.”

He said his philosophy is
simple. “I'll sit down with the
player and tell him he's paid
by the Quebec organization
to play hockey and if he
doesn't do it, we'll send him
to Milwaukee, which is the
lowest pro team in our
chain.” G

.SETS PRIORITIES

Demers said player devel-
opment is his first priority,
entertaining the fans second
and playoffs third.

“I know right now, without
mentioning his name, that
we'll have one player who
will make $75,000 this year.
Quebec is willing to pay him
that much for one year in the
minors, but they want him
ready for the NHL next
year.” 5

Hawks coach Orvil Tessier
says he foresees no problem
in moving from coaching at
the junior level to the pro-
fessional ranks.

He said hockey is a skating
game which he will empha-
size right from training
camp.

“T have a pattern of play I
expect to be followed and I
have a pattern of coaching,”
Tessier says. “I expect the
players to respect both. I've
always been the type of coach
to stay right in the action.”

Brophy said the pressures
of. working for the Montreal
Canadiens organization is a
two-fold problem for him.

“Any coaching job has its
pressures,” he said. “But
Montreal has a very success-
ful history and its teams are
expected to do well. And we
have to teach the players the
same style that the Cana-
diens play.”

Brophy predicts the Voya-
geurs will have the best
record among the AHL's
Maritime entries.

“No one is going to run'‘us
out of the rink this year,” he
said. 5

“We won't be backing
down from anyone.”

Last year's AHL cham-
pions were the Adirondack
Red Wings.

Mears to share front

‘BROOKLYN, Mich. (AP)
— Team-mates Rick Mears
and Bobby Unser will share
the front row in the 150-mile
Indy-car race today at Mich-
igan International Speedway.

: Mears, current points lea-
der on the Championship
Auto Racing Teams circuit,
toured the two-raile high-
banked oval Saturday at
200.111 miles an hour in
Penske Cosworth to take the
pole position.

Unser, who drives with
Mears for the Roger Penske
team, qualified his Cosworth
next at 199.260 m.p.h.

“That's a magic number
everybody likes to hear,”
Mear said of his 2200-m.p.h.
lap. “I thought I could go
faster but the track temper-
atures started to drop.

“I just put it to the floor
when I left and didn't let up
until I got back. She would
not go any faster.”

Mears, who had been the
fastest driver in practice
Friday and Saturday, could
just about lock up his second
CART national championship
with a victory in the $100,000
race. He won the title first in
1979.

Mario Andretti, who won
this race a year ago,'‘and Tom
Sneva will start in the second
row. Andretti, former world
driving champion, was cloc-
ked at 198.725 m.p.h. Sneva
qualified at 196.480 m.p.h.

“It was handling OK but
somehow the motor wasn't
putting out,” said Andretti.
“We did better in practice.”

But McKegan accused
Hydro of reneging on a
written promise to build a
new arena, although he
also said the municipality
now has built an arena and
the company unofficially
donated a lot of material.
The municipality would
ask for things and the
company would turn a
blind eye while, trucks
pulled up to the dam site
and were loaded, he re-
called. ‘

‘Hp sei! he has know the
company to give different

ple, an for it to say what it

thinks the listeners want .

Cities differ about B.C. Hydro

to hear. However, the
company is more co-oper-
ative when it is dealing
with a lawyer, he added.

He recommended two
lawyers, who he said are
the only ones who have had
much success in dealing
with B.C. Hydro. Hudson
Hope will be represented
by one of them armed wth
a list of the municipality's
demands when the water
license hearings for the
proposed Site C Dam con-
vene in November, McKe-

n .
Although the dam is still
officially just a proposal,
McKegan is certain it will
be built. The company has
everything laid out, it has’
bought all the land along
the Peace River and has
received approval from the

population influx’ that it
had expected to come with
the dam construction, and
he blamed that on a lack of
trailer parks.
Planning for trailer
. courts and involving the
school district, because of
the increase in school chil-
dren population, are two
basic areas he mentioned.

He said there were no
trailer courts built in Rev-
elstoke before the building .
started, and the workers
settled their families in
other places. There are
2,400 men on the stie, but
most of them stay in the
camps during the week,-
leaving the area on Friday
afternoon and returning
Monday morning.

* While McAskill and Mc~’
Kegan were critical of B.C.
Hydro, they praised the
local employees.

McAskill specified his
comments were about the
company, not the employ-
ees, and he added they
have been “exceptionally
good citizens.”

McKegan said that the
municipality dealth with
Hydro’s local project man-
ager when it was getting
the unofficial donations for
he new arena. The building
was paid for in one year, in
part because Hudson Hope
was able to use B.C. Hy-
dro's facilities, he added.

A point that Castlegar
city councillors have raised
in their talks with B.C.
Hydro is the city’s need to
be able to plan for the
impact of the dam’s con-
struction and the large
number of people who will
be involved.

stoke never did receive the

pany recently finsihed
building a; second park
with 100 lots. But the park
is two years too late; the
workers are already set-
tled and it is only half full,
McAskill said.

Land prices climbed rap-
idly after the dam’ con-
struction was announced,
and the private sector was
unwilling to develop the
parks because it could not
cover the costs during the
five-year construction per-
iod, he said.

Some businessmen in
Revelstoke were hurt
when the expected popu-
lation increase failed to
happen, but the accomo-
dation sector has felt an
impact, with travelling ex-
perts staying for 2 short
period.

VICTORIA (CP) — The

Clelland issued a statement
Friday saying no offers acc-
eptable to the province were
received before the Aug. 26
deadline.

Crown oil and gas rights in
