As the 1979-80 season in the National Hockey League begins in no less than 21 cities, fans throughout Can- ada and the U.S. are asking themselves, “Can the new teams from the Western Hockey League be competi- tive?” In the WHA last season, Edmonton finished first in regular season competition, well ahead of Quebec, Winni- peg and Hartford, in that . order. In the play-offs, Ed- monton edged Hartford while Winnipeg bombed Quebec. . The Jets then defeated Ed-. * monton in six games, - However, each of. the ‘WHA entrants has changed personnel considerably since last Spring. Their own ros- ters have been picked over by the ‘NHL clubs with Winnipeg being the big loser. High scorers Kent Nilsson and Terry Ruskowski were lost to Atlanta and Chicago respectively. Then the. new teams were allowed to draft fringe players from the NHL, in- cluding WHA players whose rights were owned by NHL clubs. Quebec, Edmonton and Hartford got some relief * here. Unfortunately for the new teams, they were given the last choices in the junior draft and so lost out on all the Turnbulls, Propps, Bosch- mans, etc. Obviously none. of the new teams has the personne) to challenge the Canadiens, or for that matter the Is- landers, Rangers, Bruins or Sabres. However, most ob- servers fee] they can com- pete on almost even terms with Washington, Colorado, Detroit, St. Louis and Van- couver.’ The play-off system in ‘the NHL this year is a big “ern passtOre v ws PETTITT PHOTOS . - 74 Pine, Costlegar 965-7663 advantage for the new teams, Only five of 21 teams don't make the play-offs.Each of the ex-WHA teams believes it can be 16th or better. - The ex-champion Winni- peg Jets may have the toughest time. It will be diffi- cult to replace Nilsson and applying the body with goals by Doug Knowler and Bruno Tassone, they trailed by only . one going into the third. The final period was all Rebels until Tassone took a. penalty while Castlegar was . controlling play in Nelson's end. Shortly after that, Ken they still have big shooters in Morris Lukowich and Peter Sullivan. From Cincinnati they have acquired Peter Marsh, a 48-goal scorer. Their first draft choice was Jimmy “The Ox" Mann, a six-foot, 200-Ib. tough guv. of whom Winnipeg general manager John Ferguson said “We don’t expect him to score a lot of goals for us, but he will give us quite a lot of backbone.” So will Dave Hoyda, drafted from the Philadelphia Flyers, The Edmonton Oilers will be led .by 18-year-old Wayne Gretzky, hockey’s su- per kid, who scored 110 points in his rookie season in the WHA last year. Despite all the publicity and pressure he’s faced all his young life, Gretzky has never failed to live up to a challenge. He's looking forward to playing in the NHL. 5 Offensively Edmonton will also count heavily on Ron Chipperfield, once a Brandon junior superstar and former Maple Leaf, Stan Weir. In addition they have tough Cam Connor from Montreal, 34-goal shooter Blair Mac- Donald and Wayne Bianchin, drafted from Pittsburgh. On defence Edmonton More on Page D2 took a tripping penalty, and on the power play, Nelson scored the in- surance marker.

Granted, both clubs have excellent defences, but each has continually encountered difficulties getting on the score board. Argonaut fans’ hopes were flying high at the start of the season — who can remember when they weren't? — and the boat club did provide some surprising upsets in the first half of the schedule, but returned to their regular losing pattern as the season progressed. _ Each year, fans are paying continually higher prices for tickets, yet they are not receiving a higher-quality product. In pass the half-way mark —News/MirrorFoto by Mal Stelck Are CFL fans getting their money's worth? addition, those fans unable to attend games are forced to endure less than prof broad: of various contest: on the tube. Fans not receiving their money's worth was a big issue south of the border a few years ago when consumer advocate Ralph Nader recommended that fans boycott price increases by staying away from games. It’s difficult to determine what effect the more had on various franchises in the U.S., but it undoubtedly gave them food for thought. In the CFL, fans in Toronto and Calgary have been filling” the park for years, despite rather dismal seasons, while several franchises — Saskatchewan and British Columbia in particular — are experiencing financial difficulties. B.C. Lions fans have been providing sufficient support this year, but only because they have developed a contender of sorts. Saskatchewan Roughriders sunk a bundle into stadium renovations, while coming up with their worst season in recent memory. . If the CFL owners expect the fans to support teams, they are going to have to develop a more competitive product. Granted there are always going tc. ‘-» teams that are superior to the majority, but the disparity witnessed in the league this year. was-ludierous, -.——— . . sae Being a football fan for more than 15 years, I found it difficult to watch many of the fiascoes that appeared on TV, with the commentators attempting to pass the event off as an exciting battle between professional athletes, It appears that the television media views the average football fan in Canada as an ignoramus. Almost without fail, if one team is receiving a shellacking at half-time you'll hear, “they may have had their problems in the first half, but they are a professional football team, and they'll be out to narrow the margin in the third quarter.” The logic of that kind of statement is not even worth + considering, and is a blatant attempt to sell a poor product. If being a professional football team was the issue, why don't ‘ they narrow the margin in the first half? ressure by Rebels comes too late Football is big business, but instead of shelling out money for heerleaders in it instead of hiring costumed clowns who often provide more excitement than the game itself, instead of spending millions to expand stadiums that are generally only half-full anyway, instead of providing the stay at home fan the grisly-visual on-the-side- line report of an injured player doubled in pain, instead of all these ional is ii desh let's develop a viable stit P sport. —News/MirrorFoto by George After the game, Castle- gar coach Ed Wyatt said his team had trouble adjusting to the smaller ice surface in the Nelson arena, “That’s a pretty small rink, and Nelson was able to keep us penned up in our own end,” Wyatt said.
