THE DARK EXAMINER WEDNESDAY MARCH SPORTS TYPE By STEVE JONESCU Sports Editor IMPORTS This Is Barries second year In Intermediate hoc key Both times the club has been warned that it cannot use imports playersrfrom out of town The reason for this is that Barrie is city Its population Is great enough that it should produce enough suitable players Places such as Midland Collingwood Orillia and llleatord Barries opposition in the GeorgianhBay in termediate Hockey League can have imports These are smaller communities and according to the OHA shouldnt be able to produce enough good hoc keyists Without making any research or seeking out any names Id venture to say that the other commu nities have produced at least as many or more good hockey players That means kids who played their minor hockey at home Falcons this citys resent intermediate club is on the brink of elimination from the playoffs Their wouldbe conqueror is Meaford Chevies Populations dont even compare Midland and Collingwood gave Falcons pretty rough ride all season Bothteams were allowed im ports Midland used approXimately dozen through the schedule Last year in the Central Ontario Hockey League Barrie was classed as an team Bradford in the same 100 was Yet Bradford finished higher in the stan ing than Barrie Bradford lm sure would have beaten Barrie in playoff series At the same time Bradford was allowed Imports The way the import rule Is applied smaller com munities are being helped not just to keep up With the bigger communities at hockey but beat them Someday the OHA ls going to realize that inter mediate hockey is the step that is keeping hockey alive Senior hockey is on its last legs intermediate hockey is drawing more people in more rinks Intermediate hockey is also more entertaining than senior The stepabove circuits play slower keepyourdistance type of game Intermediates are fast They hit hard too The spirit of the players is far superior Yet the DEA snubs it It seemingly gives some towns more of chance to produce for the fans than others would su gest that individual leagues be allowed to govern imports etc JUST NOTES in case youre interested Open ing Day tickets for the Toronto Maple Leafs of the ln ternatlonal Baseball League are on sale The game is May Theres no special fan bus going to Meaford Fri day However it would be nice to see lot of full cars make it there Id suggest that anyone going up bring some friends The more the merrier Your vocal support could help the Falcons Rose Bowl curling playdowns resume at Cooks towntomorrow Barries
