B THE OSHAWA TIMES, Thuredey, August 31, 1967 PINCH-HITTING BY WAYNE WALTERS Of The Times Sports Staff i ' RECREATION DEPARTMENT ENDS SUMMER WITH TWO BIG TOURNAMENTS | Gaels De fea ; Seniors In Detroit Olympia \& | THE MINOR HOCKEY sio- gan, "Take Your Boy To The Arena" may be a little difficult to follow this year because the arena might not be able to take your boy. A recent sur- vey compiled by the Oshawa Recreation Department indi- cates there is an acute short- of arena facilities in the city today. This shortage not only strikes minor hockey, but minor lacrosse and figure skating as well. ARENA FACILITIES in Osh- awa consist of the modern Ci- vie Auditorium; the Children's Arena, an outdoor rink used solely for hockey in the winter and closed during the sum- mer. These three arenas are expected to meet the needs of a rapidly expanding and flour- ishing sports program in the city. Last year, for example, minor hockey had 2454 parti- cipants from six different age divisions. Minor lacrosse this year has 430 players on 25 different teams, and latest fig- ures show that 538 people were involved in figure skating in the city in 1966. WHEN YOU CONSIDER these figures and then add pro- jected figures for the next few years, you realize the need for expanded recreational arena facilities. Estimated expan- sion for minor lacrosse, for ex- ample, calls for a jump from 36 teams and 576 players in 1967, to 70 teams and 1008 play- ers in 1971. Because of the lack of. prime ice time in Oshawa, many teams are forced to go outside the city to find facili- ties. Not only is this a dan- gerous trip during the winter months, but it also means a loss of revenue to the city. Last year minor league hockey booked a total of 707 hours of ice time outside the city at a total cost of $7,937. THE ARENA SURVEY con- tains a number of comments from various people involved in minor sports in Oshawa. they almost unanimously agree that added facilities are needed. A new participant arena is the most common sug- gestion, with the enclosing of the North Oshawa Arena, (which is now under considera- tion by council) and improve- ment of present facilities in the Children's Arena running a close second and third. ICE AND FLOOR time dur- ing prime hours is a rapidly diminishing factor in Oshawa. Many teams are forced to go without practice sessions or have to share the ice with an- other team during practices. Ice time is often available only at very early or late hours, forcing many teams to go outside the city to find normal ice hours. A STUDY WAS made of rec- reational facilities in Oshawa in 1965 and a number of sug- gestions were implemented. But the major item of provid- ing additional arenas in the city was by-passed. It is up to city council's Parks, Proper- ty and Recreation Committee to impress upon council, the importance of expanding pres- ent facilities and giving the matter priority on the munici- pal agenda. For if this is not done, Oshawa sports which is running into difficulty now, will be beyond help in the near future. Oshawa Motorcycle Club Enjoying Successful Year | In August, 1966, seven motor- cycle enthusiasts formed Oshawa TT Riders Competition Motorcycle Club, for the sole purpose of putting on races in the Oshawa area to benefit local, as well as Canadian motorcyclists. That club has now grown to 25 members, under the presidency of Gordon Maxwell, and is an' affiliated member of the Cana- dian Motorcycle Association. -- its first year of operation, e club has been extremely suc-|as satisfied with 5] i e y sur S$ § pectating or cessful in putting on two excit-\helping the other fellows out. . ser in Oshawa, the second of which was televised coast-to-coast on) classes in the Ontario region.
