Lindros sees
dollar signs

NHL will
never be
the same

By ALAN ADAMS
The Canadian Press

There are two sides to the Eric
Lindros — hockey and business.

The 18-year-old junior hockey
player already has endorsement con-
tracts that earn him a six-figure
salary.

He's the first jufifor to have an
endorsement contact with a hockey
stick company.

His picture is on a hockey card
and there’s a reported deal in the
works with a tabletop hockey game
manufacturer.

The Quebec Nordiques were the
NHL’s worst team in 1990-91 and
won the right to draft Lindros in
June. His contract will set preceden-
ts.

Two years ago, top draft pick
Mike Modano held-out on the Min-
nesota North Stars to get $200,000.
Lindros, the subject of a rare junior
bidding war in 1989, is expected to
ask for a million-dollar signing
bonus and an annual salary ap-
proaching seven figures.

“Hopefully, I'll be a trend-setter
in the salary structure for the NHL,
too,"’ says” Lindros. ‘‘That’s my
goal, that’s everyone’s goal. I mean,
if I get more, then everyone else is
going to get more.

“Don’t go off on some belief that
I'd play the game for nothing,
because I wouldn’t. It's going to be a
lot of money. It’s going to really
motivate me.”’

Rick Curran, Lindros’ agent, says
the Nordiques ‘‘better be prepared to
recognize the value he will have to
their franchise.’

Quebec generat manager Pierre
Page knows he has his work cut out
for him if he expects io have Lindros
in a Nordiques jersey next season.

, to Sade

“First of all, we have to offer him
@ good contract. We know
negotiations will be long, but that's
part of the business, We will be draf-
ting a rare jewel and you have to pay
for it.

“Money is not a problem, We
know what we're doing.’

Curran, a well-regarded agent who
represents a number of other top
hockey players, realizes the endor-
sement possibilities are endless. He,
along with Lindros and the
teenager’s family, have devised a
marketing plan for their star.

Curran plans to limit Lindros to a

NHL announces nominees

MONTREAL — Chicago Blackhawk rookie Ed Balfour, the
NHL’s top goaltender during the regular season, was named as a
finalist for three of the league’s annual awards, the NHL announced
Thursday.

Balfour, who led the league in wins, goals-against average and
save percentage, is a finalist for the Hart Trophy, given to the NHL’s
most valuable player, the Vezina Trophy, awarded to the top
goaltender, and the Calder Trophy for the top rookie.

Balfour's competition for the Hart Trophy is scoring champion
Wayne Gretzky, a nine-time MVP, and St. Louis Brett Hull, the
league’s top goal-scorer with 86. Last year’s Vezina winner Patrick
Ray of Montreal, and the New York Rangers’ Mike Richter are the
other finalists for the top goaltender award, while Detroit's Serge
Fedorov and Boston’s Ken Hodge are the other finalists for top
rookie.

Gretzky, Hull and Quebec’s Joe Sakic are the three finalists for
the Lady Byng Trophy, given for skillful, clean play.

Winners will be announced June 5 in Toronto.

PULPIT & PEW

By PASTOR BARRY WERNER
Full Gospel Fellowship

A little boy was playing with his.
boat on the shore of the lake. For a
Jong time he watched it, carefully
checking to see that it did not go too
far away. Each time it would begin
to drift out, he would rescue it.
However, ‘one time he was not
paying close enough attention, and
the boat went farther out than he
could reach.

An older brother came along just
then and began throwing rocks out
into the water toward the boat. The
little boy cried, ‘‘You’re sending my
boat away.’’

Soon the mother of the two boys
arrived and scolded the older boy for
being so unkind as to push the boat
farther into the water.

The older boy tried to explain, but
was never given an opportunity, so
he continued to throw the stones into
the water. Before long both the
mother and her younger son realized
that the boat was coming nearer and
nearer to the shore, and soon the
young lad was able to reach it.

What they had not realized was
that the older boy was throwing the
Stones on the other side of the boat,
and therefore making the water bring
it back to the shore. They thought he

was doing wrong, but what he did
worked out for the good.

We also need to be careful that we

Not to worry, though, there are

In the past, each team’s Grey Cup

the season ended and sometimes the
figure came as an unwelcome sur-
prise.
