nhl game we shut oft the tv alter watching five games over a period of about six hours wc arc finished with hockey for that day five hockey games in one day isnt that a hit much it surely is and we are not coaches refer ees or players merely spectators and parents ruefully i think of all the other things i might have accomplished in those six hours sewing reading baking my husband could have painted a bedroom almost our present involve ment and lovehale rela tionship with hockey real ly began the day the tele vision arrived my hus band always would choose to attend a hockey game rather than say the bal let with a free front row scat in his own home to watch the toronto maple leafs wc became hooked truthfully i must say wc to my surprise as i watch ed those numbers on skates began to have per- s o n a 1 i t i e s faces and names before he made a team our first son played shin ny on a backyard rink and was forever taking shots even in julv comedy on ice luckily in our area the churches have organized a league the littlest boy of eight or oyer is given an opportunity to play if he can stand up on skates now wc found ourselves on saturday afternoons in the chill arena alternately laughing as the boys fell all over themselves and shouting pass it pass it move move check him for uncont rived comedy nothing can equal the jun ior teams a referee anxi ous to hold a face off at the opposite end of the rink will carry a faltering skater from one end to the other the assortment of shapes and sizes of boys in underside and oversize equipment grotesque bulbous knees pants larje enoujh for two boys cas- sius clay shoulders topped by spacchclmctcd heads is comic in itself if you do not live within walking distance of the arena you drive your son each saturday and a full 40 minutes ahead of his game so that he will bene fit from what his coach has to say this leaves ma ma out in the cold arena banging her toes against the bench ahead to keep them worm and watching whatever game is in pro cess pondering the while on its roughness as the players wham each other into the boards with thuds that vibrate the building or pummel each other at the bounce of a puck in a year or two your son is on the intermediate team you are buying him new and more expensive equipment in his bed room you cope with col lections of hockey cards from bubble gum auto graphed pictures of john ny bower the great rock et richard hockey maga zines books and signed programs mama is pressed into service at he yearly hock ey banquet mama drew the head table to wail on the year bob pulford was the guest speaker imagine wasnt i lucky to wait on pulford all i really saw was the back of his head and a strong neck and all he saw of me was a shaky paw thrusting vic tuals and coffee at him near to blows on the intermediate team some of the boys be gin to show a real aptitude for the game and a few fathers show an exagger ated partisanship once when the presbyterians were playing the angli cans two opposing fa thers differed so sharply on a point of rcfcrccing ihcv had to be restrained from punching each other the younger son who bad memorized all the names of all the players on each of six nhl teams before he went to kinder garten who could skate and was well practiced in the art of taking shots inevitably joined the junior team as soon as they would accept him his brother took two hours to dress him for his first game this wispy lit tle kid encumbered with equipment equal to a suit of armour caused all the hockey mamas in the row behind us to ask audibly who is number 17 tic is so small number 17 was out for a total of nine minutes in three shifls swiped at the puck three limes and fell down each time since the coaches and officials give so freely of their lime in the interest of boys hockey the leas the parents can do is at tend the games thus it is we have junior son ihere 40 minutes ahead of his game and watch a game while we wail the junior game our second
