League. Physical injury and verbal abuse come with the job. Bruce Hood took his knocks. In 20 years as an NHL referee, Hood called more than 1,000: games before retiring in 1984. During that time he broke his’ jaw, an ankle, a wrist and nose and needed dozens of stitches to close wounds to the head after being struck by flying pucks. What often hurt mote though, were four-letter words from players and the choruses of boos from 18,000 spectftors who became hostile when a penalty was assessed against the home team. A deep Ive of hockey’inspires the work of the men in the black-and-white striped shirts, and Hood provides an excellent ijsight into their world in-his book Calling the Shots. SAW EXPANSION “L thought about it and realized that when I started (in the NHL) there were only six teams,"’ Hood said“in an interview in explaining his decision to write the book “I was there through all the many expansions, the coming and going of the World Hockey Association, ‘all the Canada Cups, international hockey, just about everything there was to do in hockey. “I'd worked about 1,S00 games coming up the ladder and in the NHL. I worked my first final in 1970 when Bobby Orr scored in overtime and the Bruins won the Stanley Cup. So there was a lot of stuff there."’ Hood says the book ‘‘tells what it really is like, how great it is and how tough it is, how depressing it can be. It's honest."” At age 23 in the early 1960s, Hood quit a job as arena_manager-in-Milton,-Ont.,that _paid-him-$6,000 a year to become a referee in the minor pro leagues with a salary of $2,500. “Thad to see how far I could go with it,"’ he recalls. “I never would have been able to forgive myself if 1 didn’t take the opportunity to. go after my goal."” Hood's impressions on some of the players he dealt with over the yéars: ==Chris_Nilan,_a_New_York Rangers forward now but a Montreal Canadien when Hood worked in the leagué: ‘‘There were few players I had less respect for than Nilan. Nilan would belittle his opponents; he would taunt them or push his glove in their faces, trying to make them react. Many times he would fight for no reason at all."’ — Jean Beliveau, former Montreal captain: ‘‘One word describes Jean Beliveau — class, He had it in ~ every sense of the word.” — Gordie Howe,;former Detroit great: “Il was always awed by Howe when he came.on the ice. He w: a legend and acted like it, When he got a penalty, he would go to the box without a word, as if it was just another part of his job. — Phil Esposito, ‘a centre with Boston and the Rangers when Hood refeteed and now general manager of the Rangers: ‘Phil Esposito held the tecord for most goals in a season before Wayne Gretzky came along. In my book, he still holds the record for complaining and bitching."’ That's just a sample from the book.- The game- night actions and attitudes of dozens of players, coaches and managers are also revealed. “ EACH OWN WAY From his owh experience, Hood also provides a better understanding of how a referee goes about his job. “The league sets its standard alnd they like every referee to call the game the same,”’ he says. “But we know that’s. not the way it is. ‘Each referee has his own comfort zone. Some referees can call a game and only have three penalties and go off feeling good about it. Another referee requires 10 penalties in the same game to feel comfortable “You have to operate in your comfort zone. My comfort zone was being on top of the play at all times. I had to eliminate restraining fouls. | always looked at it as equal opportunity. I figured all players should have the opportunity to do what they did best. “Fhe Bruins-and- the Flyers never tiked my styte They didn’t like me calling a lot of penalties. They liked referees who let thingf\go, let things approach the edge of mayhem. That‘allows them to intimidate more, to cluch and grab more."’ Hood, 52, has not slowed any since his hectic days as an NHL referee. He owns a travel agency in Milton, is involved in a weekly newspaper in nearby Oakville, works Buffalo Sabres home games as a replay analys. for a cable TV company, and operates a school for referees and linesmen each summer. And he found time somewhere to interesting took Calling the Shots, by Bruce Hood.

Robinson, ‘already an alternate captain and a senior member of the Montreal Canadiens, is acting as team captain while Bob Gainey, captain since 1981, recovers from a broken foot With Robinson and Gainey nearing the end of brilliant careers with the Canadiens, the NHL team will eventually have to consider a new captain With most NHL teams, choosing a: successor to wear,.the C may be a formality. With the Canadiens, it's a continuing process, with the character. of players under scrutiny almost from the time they arrive at the Forum The captain of the Canadiens prior to Gainey, Serge Savard, became the team’s general manager. Jean Beliveau graduated from that role to an executive job with the club, and Toe Blake, another captain, later coached the team. Obviously, there's more than window dressing in the title. Management would never say as much, but the prolonged absence of Gainey might be the perfect time to audition candidates for the captaincy Several players have mentioned how much Gainey will be missed because of the leadership he provides on and off the ice. Now, the opportunity is there for the leader of tomorrow to emerge ASKS SMITH Several weeks ago, centre Bobby Smith was asked by a reporter whether he saw himself as a future captain “ He. was flattered to hear his name associated with the role, but felt the next captain would be someon¢ younget.. mith will be 31 next month, an age, he said. that would not match the future longevity normally fills in for Gainey as team captain sought when comtemplating a captain Defenceman Chris Chelios, at 27, surely has age on his side, but his leadership ability does not extend beyond an 85-by-200-foot ice surface. Mats Naslund, the 29-year-old left winger, is popular but doesn’t seem compatible with the captain's role. Guy Carbonneau?
