Fathers squeak out victory over Pee Wee sons A blanket of silence fell across dressing room six at the old are- na, as coach Garry Geer entered the room last Monday night for the annual father and son game. Coach Geer had a stern look on his face for about two sec- onds, but it quickly turned to a smile {actually a laugh} and you could read his mind, "Oh my God, what have I got myself into? How will I ever make a team out of this matter?" He quickly exited and came back with more bodies, for some reason, much younger than the fathers and to add insult, one girl. Thank goodness he didn't recruit any of the mothers to play! The silence was deafening as he cautiously handed out the sweaters, matching numbers with the players, until an ear piercing scream shattered the stillness. "I want to be 99, like Gretzky." It was "Hot-hands," Heas- man who had been given No. 9, retired like Bobby Hull. It worked out fine as he netted two goals later. Mount 'Russ' more Carna- ghan said his wouldn't fit, but its hard to put a blanket over a mountain. "Rugged" Randy Logan came in with a stick and skates only, but by the time he hit the ice, he was fully dressed with equip- ment graciously donated. Magic Morden delighted eve- ryone when he was able to bend over and tie his skates. He was the hottest father stepping onto the ice, not from warm up exer- cises but just hot from strug- gling to put his equipment on and tying his skates. The game began in front of a large crowd, who was trying to exit the arena. Some tintilating hockey was displayed, probably because of the T.V. camera, with lightning rushes down the ice and thunderous returns. The thunderous returns were because some of us resembled slow moving bowling balls. "Coboconk" Don and "Black- stock" Brian gave able assis- tance to the goalie, and "Make- my-day" Murphy challenged the tough Pee Wee forwards. "Fast-fingers" Phillips han- dled his stick like it was a tooth- pick {no, not picking his teeth) as he the puck down theice with lightning speed. The deafening roar of the fi- nal buzzer was a welcome sound as the flying fathers dragged their tail feathers back to room six. They may have been tired, but there was joy in Mudville that night as the boys from yes- terday {or several years ago] squeaked out an 8-5 win {approximately}. Coach Geer's expression had changed to one of disbelief. Managed Ed Teno, who han- dled the reins of the young stal- lions on the Pee Wee bench, came down to offer congratula- tions and a champagne toast {actually pop} to the victors. Ed couldn't believe it either, even with 13 attackers on the ice {he got carried away with his pow- er-play}, the fathers were a force to be reckoned with. After the celebrations, and struggles to get equipment off which allegedly had shrunk, the quote of the day came from "Heart-pounding" Harper, "I've got blood flowing that has been sitting stagnate for years." The fathers eventually left room 8ix, heads held high, knowing they still reign su- preme, at least for another year. As they moved through the large crowd of autograph seek- ers and sports writers, looking for a scoop for the radio, T.V. or paper, they looked back occa- sionally to room six with only one thing on their mind, "Oh no, we have to go through this again next year."
