PAGE 12 TERRACE BAY NEWS OCTOBER 22, 1975 HELE The .Schreiber Figure Skating Club is in need of assistance from the parents of its Schreiber Figure skaters. Before you start thinking about digging into your pockets, it' not your money that is needed; instead it's you = your presence, voice, ideas and maybe even your involvement. Schreiber 's Figure Skating Club is virtual- ly a new club and the enthusiasm of the skat- ers is obvious. The evidence is in their turning out to practise in -30 F weather; al- so in their willingness to travel 30 to 130 miles to take tests that they have worked to- wards all season and cannot take in their home town because the resources simply aren't here. However, enthusiasm like this can't last if it is met with constant frustations caused by a lack of cooperation. A club like ours cannot be run successfully nor efficiently by one or two people. We held a meeting recently, in order to inform parents of procedures and plans for the coming season and, to elect some needed members to the executive. It seems this last fact spread like wildfire and caused everyone to run and hide. It's really not all that bad. It's even less difficult with more peo- ple involved. That is the key word - Involvement. It's free and it may even help to pass the long winter ahead. We will be holding another General Meeting, the date to be announced in a separate ad, and we hope that you can find time in your sched- ules to attend and, at least, voice your op- inion on matters that concern you and your child. By the way, we also welcome skaters' Fathers at our meetings. SCHREIBER MINOR HOCKEY MEETING: The following summary of the operation of the Schreiber Minor Hockey Association for 1974-75 was presented at a recent meeting: The Schreiber Minor Hockey Association op- erated a total of seven teams involving app- roximately 100 boys, with a additional number of 35 boys, 5-7-8 years old in the Mice on Ice group. : The Schreiber Kinsmen Midgets played a 16 game schedule in the N.S.N.H.L. ending up in first place and going on to win the league championship. In addition they were eastern zone T.B.A.H.A. representatives in the Wrig- ley midget tournament and competed in the Wa- wa tournament. The Legion Bantams and the Avco major Pee- Wees competed against Terrace Bay, Marathon, and Manitouwadge in the N.S.M.H.L. The Avcos were the league finalists with Bantams knocked out in the first round of play-offs. The major Pee-Wees took part in the Marath- on open tournament and the Elks in Thunder Bay. The four team house league in the pee-wee division was active in 48 games, league sched- uled, prior to play-offs. The cost of operating the Association for the season was $5258.15 with all funds raised by the Association. Expenditures included ice time, purchase of equipment, travel for league, play-offs and tournaments, with ass- essment paid to the N.D.N.H.L. and the T.B.A.- H.A. A complete financial statement is avail- able to anyone wishing to read the account. Objectives for the coming season are to have the local Midget, Bantam and major Pee- Wee teams compete in the N.S.M.H.L. A four team pee-wee house league and a two team bantam house league will also be operated. The Association would like to acknowledge with thanks the support of the local citizens and in particular those who were in coaching, re- fereeing, time-keeping and driving teams to and from out of town engagements and helping with many other details. While the executive were extremely disapp- ointed in the meagre attendance at the annual meeting, they still look forward to providing a viable operation to ensure that the youth of the community have a wholesome sport available throughout the winter. A full state of coaches has been secured, but volunteers are still required for time- keepers, referees and ticket-takers. Women volunteers will be warmly welcomed - the pre- cedent set for this last year when Darlene Fummerton and Cathy Cook so successfully coa- ched the Mice on Ice.
