connelly by kelly connelly team strength that muchdebated barometer of playerability gets much attention when provincial hockey championships roll around coach ted lowery and his stouffville midgets were eliminated in the provincial b final last year by the dark forces of team strength wearing the guise of orangeville sweaters the mismatch sparked criticism from other teams including stouffville who felt orangeville should have been classified as acalibre rather than b recalled lowery orangeville can shut out virtually any team if a club is honest and fair it will give somebody else a chance to win the crown were competitive but you cant compete against them the stouffville skipper added he would hesitate to enter his squad in this years provincials if orangeville stays b presto youve got a team calibre debate is a seasonrecord in most cases early season adequate representation of a clubs strength before it enters the postchristmas provincials what if that club adds stronger players or loses valuable skaters before the ontario playdowns part of the problem is the owha ontario womens hockey associa tion doesnt have a rigid or absolute calibreregulating system teams register for the provincials no later than nov 1 at that time they submit what division they feel suited to play fair enough at first glance but look a little deeper such an honorsystem based on a skip pers honest and fair assessment of his players abilities inevitably lies vulnerable to one or two coaches who want to better the odds for their squads presto youve got an orangevillestouffville pairup with one team playing down maybe deliberately to scoop the title fortunately if complaints warrant an investigation the owha can override what it perceives as an unfair selfassessment by a club teams can be bumped to a higher provincial class said owha presi dent fran rider however those grievances must reach the executive committee by jan 1 its hard for the womens hockey association to see all the games make a list of all the teams and their stats and say ok youre going to be this calibre or that said lowery fred mantle president of the omha ontario minor hockey asso ciation agreed that categorizing every provincial entrant is a chal lenging timeconsuming task womens hockey doesnt have the executive numbers unlike the omha to scrutinize every teams benchpower after the jan 1 deadline and bench strength can change dramatically during a season how dramatically that too is negotiable the owha is a small executive still trying to feel its way in mantle reasoned he suggested an increase in registration fees for the provincials might prompt more teams to demand fairer matches for their money it might eliminate orangeville situations lowery summed up the calibrating issue best when he quipped theres always going to be one nigger in the woodpile alas word is out orangeville has moved up to a finally quote of the week beginning this week the tribune sports section will run a quotc-of- thcweek
