How can you tell the play-
offs are approaching in the
Castlegar Recreational Hock-
ey League? Take a look in the
penalty boxes.

With playoffs set to begin
Thursday the penalty minutes
per game is beginning to in-
crease in the CRHL, as win-
ning gets a little more serious.

Last season, the penalty pa-
rade reached its pinnacle in a
bench-clearing brawl at the
ond of the championships fi-
nal.

Topping the list of bad-boy
teams is Castlegar Sports
Centre,which was nailed for
11 penalties Tuesday night in
its 6-2 loss to Kootenay Com-
puters at the Community
Complex.

The game meant a lot to
both teams in that Computers
likely guaranteed itself first
place with the win, as it trails
Sports Centre by a point with
three games in hand.

While 11 penalties might
not seem much compared to,
say, the NHL or the Kootenay
International Hockey League,
it is a high count in any the

Pressure Wash 8-5, while Ban-
jo’s Pub beat Shell 9-6.

With two goals. and three
assists, Dave Terhune led the
way for Computers in its win
over Sports Centre, while
Chief Mercer chipped in with
a goal and two assists.

Sten Mattel set up Niki
Hyson for both Sports Centre’s
goals.

Hyson scored three goals
and added two assists in the
win over Shell — a game
which saw a total of 12 penal-
ties called, including three for
unsportsmanlike conduct. =

Neil Archambault had a
goal and two assists for Sports
Centre, while Dan Walker,
Mattel, and Grant Pilla also
scored.

Kelly Keraiff, Benton
Hadley and Dave Rugg scored
for Shell.

Larry Price scored four
first-period goals as Banjo’s
built a 5-0 lead in its victory
over Shell.

Wayne Salekin set up three
of Price’s goals and scored two
himself, while Frank Costa,
Bob Essaunce and Clay Mar-

‘Adee nol ie Sl RES RS Sc aed
tini also scored. Price added
two assists for a six-point
night.

Hyson, Dan Walker and
Brent Petrick had two goals
each in Sports Centre’s win
over Pressure Wash.

Dwayne Weir and Mattel
also scored, while Rod
Zavaduk and Lorne Anderson
had three assists each.

With five penalties, it was
Sports Centre’s lowest count
in the three games it played.

George Roberts scored two
goals and had an assist to lead
Pressure Wash, which was
again without league scoring
leader Gord Walker.

Sheldon Sookachoff had a
goal and two assists for Pres-
sure Wash, while Wayne Ki-
nakin and Steve Simonen al-
so scored.

The round robin playoff be-
gins at the Complex Thursday
with the second place team
taking on the last place team.
The fourth place team plays
the first place team and the

second place team plays the

third place team in games Fri-
day.

@ Pat Haley is not bitter about
not being in the Olympic
Games. He has many things to
-be proud of in his life.

(Editor’s note: Part 2 of 3, be-
cause Pat Haley’s story could not
be told in 500 words.)

“It’s just a changed world. I don’t
know whether it’s for the better or
not.” - Pat Haley

My oh my how things have changed
since the days when Pat Haley was
one of the world’s top sprinters.

Fifty years ago, in Haley’s day, you
were a person first, an athlete second.
Which meant you didn’t have the lux-
ury of devoting all your time to sport,

money to sustain you.

In those days, there was a finite pe-
riod — from about high school to col-
lege — in which an athlete had the op-
portunity to make it. After that, life
wasn’t living off the money made in
endorsements, a tour with the Ice Ca-
pades or big money in a professional
career. What did await was the same
thing that awaits most others, job,
family and, in an athlete’s case, per-
haps a few pleasant memories.

Pat Haley made the most of his fi-
nite period. By his second year at
Washin State University, he was
clocking 9.8 seconds in the 100-yard-

(as opposed to metre) dash and was at

and the government didn’t dole out:

My, how things have changed

his peak with the Olympic Games just
around the corner. But when World
War II robbed him of his opportunity
to compete in the Olympics, athletics
ended for Haley

As we sat in his living room watch-
ing the Winter Olympic Games on
television, I wondered what Pat Ha-
ley thought about today’s athletes.
Specifically, the Alberto Tomba’s, Ben
Johnson’s and Carl Lewis’ of the
world. People who aren’t just athletes,
but personalities. In Johnson’s case, a
disgraced personality who will make
more money this month than Haley

London they said Edwards couldn't
stay in the hotel because he was col-
ored. So the whole team moved out
with him.”

The story brings a smile to Haley’s
face. But a frown comes with his next
thought.

“In those days ,everyone kind of
helped one another. Today they’re
searching to get an edge on the other
guy. And if they see the guy make a
mistake, they wouldn’t tell him.”

Haley isn’t bitter about not being
able to compete in the Games, that’s
not his style.

could have conceived of 50 years ago.

All athletes careers must come to*

With a few shrugs thrown in for
emphasis, Haley talked about how to-
day’s athletes are better conditioned,
have better equipment and are less
susceptible to injury. But he never did
answer my question directly. And yet
when he talked about the past, it told
me more about what has changed
than anything he could have said
about Ben Johnson.

“One of the things that I remem-
ber is the companionship and how ev-
erybody worked together when you got
on a national team. Everyone was
there to help the other. It was team
work in reality. They were not selfish.

“Another thing I'll always remem-
ber is my brother telling me about Phil
Edwards. He (Edwards) was black
and a world-class runner. But when

an end at some point, and when Ha-
ley gave up running to get a job and
concentrate on raising his family, he
never thought then, and doesn’t now,
that it was the wrong choice. Like a
runner, he has never looked back.

When he looks at what his efforts
have wrought, Pat Haley is proud. His
eldest son Lawrence is a doctor, his
second son John is an engineer at B.C.
Hydro and his youngest, Harry is a
school teacher. To top it off , Haley and
his wife Brita will celebrate 50 years
together in July. :

When his family and friends gather
to mark,the event Haley plans to be
rid of “the thing” which has been his
constant companion in his battle to
walk again.

thing” and Pat Haley’s battle.)
