Report from Q,,,ueen 's Park 13v GEORGE ASIlE. MIPP LA> (PC-DU RHAM WEST) Government gets into inor hockey With its longstanding and widespread appeal, minor hockey has become a legacy shared by youngsters in communities across our province. The popularity of the sport is reflected in the 250,000 minor hockey players in Ontario who par- ticipate in 16,600 organized teams in more than 1,000 arenas. A great number of these players, teamns and arenas are located right here in Durham West Riding. In recent years, there has developed a cumulative awareness of the need to review both our attitudes and approach to the game of nockey, particularly as a sport for children. This awareness prompted a year- long study conducted by the Ontario Hockey Council which involved an examination of parents' at- titudes and a series of public forums on the subject of BRIAN DEEGAN DENTURE THERAPY CLINIC HARWOOD PLACE MALL 1 25TH ANNIVERSARY 1855-1980 STHE CORPORATION 0F THE TOWN 0F WHITBY NOTICE 0F APPLICATION TO THE ONTARIO MUNICIPAL BOARD BY THE CORPORATION OF THE TOWN 0F WHITBY FOR AN ORDER TO AUTHORIZE A BUS FRANCHISE AGREEM ENT TAKE NOTICE THAT the Corporation of the Town of Whitby has applied t0 the Ontario Municipal Board pursuant t0 the provisions of Section 354 <1), Paragraph 89 of The Municipal Act and Section 8, Subsection id of The Municipal Franchise Act for an order to authorize an agreement with Charter- ways Limited and to grant a frachise upon the highways of t ha Town of Whitby for a municipal transît aystem for a period flot exceeding three years commen- cing on the tirst day of June, 1980.

This year, the Ontario Hockey Council released its, 107 page report which in- cluded 119 recommen- dations on how the sport might be improved. The bot- tomline of the report is a concensus of the clear need for change in the attitude of every individual involved in minor hockey, be they a player, coach, referee, volunteer organizer, spec- tator or parent. The studS' also underlined the need for training programs emphasizing basic hockey skitls such as skating, passing and shooting, while it stressed the importance of developing the leadership abilities of coaches, referees and volunteers. Other issues examined were parent behaviour at games, money and time spent on hockey and violen- ce in the game. It is clear that if we are to implement a change in minor hockey, that change must be preceded by definitive action. Accor- dingly, the Provincial Government has responded with two significant measures. The initial step is to recon- stitute the Ontario Hockey Council, a coordinating group for regional and local hockey associations which was originally established by Cabinet Order. The Council will be transformed into a non-profit organization with members nominated by both the On- tario Government and the Ontario hockey associations. Through an independent body, the public at large and organized hockey will be able to combine efforts to shape the future path of minor hockey in our com- munity. To begin this move toward more positive development programs, the Council will receive provincial funding of up to $2 million over the next three years. 0f this amount, $100,000 will provide base funding for the Council with up to $1.1 million to be made available from lottery profits. in the final analysis, the key to success in minor hockey lies in encouraging an environment where young players may properly develop fundamental skîlls while sharing the cooperation, goodwill, teamn spirit and good, old fashioned fun that have traditionally marked Canada's national sport.
