Club moves to medicine

By Walter Krevenchuk

EDMONTON (CP) —
Coaching co-ordinator Linda
Huges says the Edmonton
Olympic Club's move into
sports medicine — perhaps a’
first in Canada — has pro-
vided club members with a
“sense of security.”

The security comes from
having Ed Steinbring and
Brian Francis, physiother-
apists at the Royal Alex-
andra Hospital in Edmonton,
attend training sessions five
nights a week.

“As far as we can deter-
mine we're the only track-
and-field club in Canada with
this kind of arrangement,”
Hughes said.

Steinbring and Francis,
satisfied with an opportunity
to pursue an interest in
sports medicine, provide
their services free — and
often call on students and
staff at the hospital to help

out, ‘Ihe club pays for sup-
plies.

Hughes said the experi-
mental program will prob-
ably continue “on a less ex-
tensive basis" because of a
shortage of funds.

Francis and  Steinbring
each spend six hours a week
treating club members for
the aches and pains associ-
ated with physical stress,
They are backed up by the
club doctor, who donates two
hours a week to the cause.

WORK CUT OUT

In their firat two months
on the job, the physiother-
apits treated 140 athletes.

“One thing we noticed is
that people had been running
in pain for a long time,”
Francis said. To ease that
pain the sports-medicine
specialists came up with such
things as corrective footwear
and proper stretching exer-

- cises.

“The key factor,” Hughes
said, “Is that they were
helpful in the area of injury
prevention,
coaches with training meth-
ods and in helping the ath-
letes understand stress and
strain.”

One beneficiary was Ian
Newhouse, a track man who
was in pain, unaware that he
had a fractured bone in his
foot.

Francis and Steinbring
came up.with a special way of
taping Newhouse’s foot to
relieve pressure, Hughes
said, and the pain is gone.

Federation secretary-
treasurer Ken Weston said
in an interview that some
of the lesser recommen-
dations were too hard to
administer, but that every
effort would be made to
follow the others.

The federation’s prop-
osals will be forwarded to
federal Sport Minister Ger-
ald Regan for approvaland’
expected.-national adop-
tion. All of.the local boxing
,commissiohs and provincial
federations expressed sup-
port for standardized
rules, Sleep said.

Some recommendations,
such.as a passport system
for boxers, are dependent
on federal financing. Wes-
ton said the passports have
been designed, but the
federation has no money to
print them.

The passport, which the
federation says will help
reduce ring injuries by

clearly identifying boxers,

In other business, the

cause he had gone past the

He designs masks:

By Joe Dary

BRAMPTON, ONT. (CP —
Greg Harrison's face didn’t
make the big leagues, but his
facemasks did,

The facemasks he designs
and manufactures — both
solid and wire cages — are
used by National Hockey
League goalies in Canada and
the United States,

While’ not’ mandatory in
the NHL, ail NHL goalies
have masks to reduce the
chance of injury from pucks
flying at speeds of 160 kilo-.
metres an hour.

There are only three men
in North America who make
custom glass fibre masks and
cages’ — Harrison, Ernie
Higgins of Boston “and a
fellow in Quebec.”

: “Ernieis a retired plumber
and the Quebec fellow also
has a plumbing background,

‘ said’ Hirrigo’
1 “My back; nd is ‘art.’ I’
*algb played ‘goal ‘for’ several"
years so I can relate both.to-
the players and the mask.”

Harrison, 27, played for St.
Michael's while in high school
and later switched to the

* Toronto Marlboros organi-
zation.

“I also tried out for Wash-
ington Capitals in their first
year of operation but I never
made the team,” he said, “I
played competitively for a
year with Barrie Flyers of
the Ontario Senior Hockey
League.”

Now his goaltending is re-
stricted to a weekly game
with his friends in a rec-
reational league.

He started his mask-build-
ing career as a hobby when
he was 16.

“I made it with a Fibre-
glass kit from Canadian Tire.

Harrison now makes be-
tween 40 and 50 masks a year
in his basement workshop
with each taking 12 to 24
hours to construct. Because
the orders come in spurts na
not ona year-round basis, he
still considers the work a
» hobby — albeit a rewarding.

PLANTE THE MODEL 2

“My first designs. were
based on the masks Sheates
Plante wore. From there, I

. began experimenting until I
» was happy with the design.

-“Jim Rutherford bought
my first mask and word
~spread among the NHL goal-
tenders. Today, the goalies’
will order my masks but the
bills are paid by the clubs.”
Prices range from $250 for
a basic mask to $460 for a
mask with a difficult design,

vidually tailored from plaster

then makes a.
plaster bust from the molds,
After that, clay is used to fill,
out the features around the

face.
Once that is done, 13 layers
of glass fibres, mixed with

hardening and strengthening
resins, are placed on the
bust.

“Thenumber 13 is not
based on superstituion' —
and I'm not superstitions,”
said Harrison,

“I found our through ex:
perience and several experi-
‘emnts that 18 is the right
number. Twelve layers do,
not provide sufficient pro-
tection and for the flexibility
involved, you need that extra
layer. With 14 layers, it's too
thick. And besides, the goalie
must. feel reasonably com--
fortable while wearing the.
mask.” Lees

SANDED BY HAND

Once the glass fibres have
hardened, the mask is sanded.
by hand to achieve amooth- |
ness: ‘Holes for the nose,
mouth and eyes as well as;
tion are drilled, ito
terial before, they. are,

so
filed.

“To ensure maximum"
strength, the holes are cut in
areas where they should be.
Everything is done by hand |
and while it is laborious, it’
ensures the fibreglass is not
pitted or weakened. I wish I
could use sanders but they
would ruin the masks.” i

After the masks have been
sanded and filéd, they are
coated with a sealing resin.
before being painted. :

The designs come from the
goaltenders. When a goal
tender is traded to another
team, the mask is returned:
for a new paint job.

Harrison wishes the goal-
tenders wouldn't try to cus-
tomize his finished product.

“What some of these guys
son t awe is that ‘every-

g is done on purpose and,
that includes the slots for the
eyes in the larger masks. If a
guy takes a file and makes
the eye slots larger, he could
ruin the mask and leave a
leading edge which must
then be repaired.”

The construction. of the
masks and cages differs after
the mold is taken. -

“If it is to be a full mask
with throat protector, I won't.
alter the construction. But if
it is to be a cage, I'll cut out:
the area where the wife cage
will go and concentrate on:
that area. I'll cut the wire:.
cage myself from a selection
of cages from various manu-
facturers and mold it to the
mask. Til then attach a ‘re-
moveable sweatband — the

‘only other distinguishing fea-
‘ture beweet them.” ©

Through proper care, the
masks should last from nine

to 10 years,

“Depending on tho .thick-

ness, they will still have good: °_

strength and flexibility, But’
after that, they won't have
the same tensile strength.
They'll be softer but. they
won't melt away or anything,

-like that,

because postal workers will

rewarded differently - than

“We (Crown corporation)
have to, if we get the right
people, have’ to be able to
pursue that in a businesslike
way.”

Utilizing the new tech-
nology could put the post
office in an extremely com--
petitive position in five or 10

years, é
“On the other: hand” he
added, “if it's the private

sector that invests in the re-.

search and development and
the new types of services, we
could be buried within five or
six years without that lead-
ing technology because we
‘would end up with the most
expensive postal services to
the more remote areas.”

Warren said. he- is. not
convinced the post office is in
terrible shape and there is a
geed chance of improving
employee relations and im-
proving its technolgoy.

“I think it can become.
