the examiner FrIday Feb 1a 1979 rr¥3€ IQ Soviets learned skofingshoofing By El HARPER Chay The NHL is no longer the worlds best and everyone talk to seems so surprised this could happen to these so call ed stars weve put on pedestal Not only that but hockey fans are realizing that they have been paying top dollar for an inferior product It was only about month ago that said in this column that there were only few dedicated hockey players in the NHL and that most were not in top condition At that time was criticized by some hockey fans for saying this am sure after the series against the Russians that these people must feel differently also said that it was not just in hockey that Canadian athletes were not dedicated but that it was true of most of our sports Having been close to sports since was nine years old and having been professional in cycling know what is required of an athlete to be in the peak of condition It cannot be done the way most athletes live they must dedicate themselves to their sport and live for it day by day with the proper training and the proper nutrition It means giving up lot of socializing and enjoyment if an athlete is to be at his best Most athletes cant do it especial Iy today in Canada where we have had it so to good for too long and living high comes easy Other countries improved We mustnt forget there are several other countries that have improved greatly over the past few years and if we dont start different training system our young hockey players we will end up in the basement of international hockey competition Although sport has been large part of my life dont know what all the fuss is about So the NHL lost the Challenge Cup to the Russians So what Its not the end of the world its only hockey and its only one series Canada has lot more important things to worry about such as the crisis in Quebec and the mess otir economy is in at the present time Hockey and sport is getting too political and it is time to spend less oti athletes who are not prodtic ing They are wasting taxpayers money Team NHL said there would be no excuses if they lost But have read and heard through the media many excuses The most popular excuse are the players only had few days practice together before the series But that is no excuse for gt not being able to skate check or pass as well as the opposi tion They never learn to skate Another point must bring up again is the many organized minor hockey leagues in our country Kids only six and seven years of age are playing on what are known as All Star teams and competing in as many as seventy to eighty games season They never learn to skate properly or to pass or check If they show any ability at all they are put on team and if they score goals that is all that matters to the coaches It doesnt matter how they actually played dur ing the game as long as they score and win Yes here we are at the word win again It starts with little kids of six years of age and it never stops Even the men playing NHL hockey take verbal abuse when they lose Why should it be likethat Its only hockey game and its iio sin to lose Certainly its nice to win but why do we have to win all the time There has to be loser so why shouldnt we learn to take defeat gracefully An old poem sums it all up It goes like this When the one great scorer comes to write against your name it counts not that you won or lost but how you played the game Sunys win third game of Europe tour 12 KLAGENFtRT iCPi Canadian International Hockey League scored their third con secutivc victory of their two week

In this light its worthwhile considering the following questions ls your child active Is his tor heri fitness levcl improving as he or Sllti gets older Docs your child look forward to physical activtty Do you participate in some form of physical activity with your child on regular basis If your answer is no to any of the above then your child may be on the way to sedentary lifestylc dcstincd to bc lifelong spectator envious of those who enjoy physical well being Worse yet your child may pass these characteristics on to the next generation Therc is no doubt children acquiri thcir liftstyle valucs from those they are closest to members of their own fami ly If your idea of great evening IS to sit in front of the TV bottle of titer in hand watching watcreddowri Nlll hockcy then dont expect your child to gct really involved in any sport Conversely if you invite your child regularly to toss football around with you or go bicycling with you or go run ning with you then you can expect that the value of activity will rub off No one wants to be told to do something If your child sees that you have the piirscvcrancc to exercise regularly and if he sees that you cnjoy the increased fitness exercising regularly brings then hc too will want to feel better by exercising Too vague goal Dont tell your child that exercise is good for him or cxcr cising will make him live longer Those who take up exercise for increased longevity are among thc first to drop the ac tivity Living longer is just too vague goal for most pco plc Hut living better is more realistic Most people who attcmpt to keep fit do so because of the added dimension fitness gives to everything they do Food tastes better feelings of depression arc fewer and go away faster energy levels are always
