figures he put on a few pounds during his four month stint with hollands second division hockey team trias the unique opportunity to play in his fathers native homeland and sample some strange munchies came last fall mike a dutch- canadian who has played juvenile hockey in uxbridge received a phone call from the coach of powerful first division squad tilburg trappers the skipper and mikes older brother maurice were defensive part ners on tilburgs 197274 teams the coach invited mike to try out with tilburg and if he didnt make it there was always the second division my brother always wanted me to go down he said it was the best experience he ever had but i originally was going to try out for the second division says the blondehaired centre tilburg cut him and by the time he donned the green trias uniform he had already missed 12 games but it didnt take long for the 21yearold to fit in the groove they play a more finesse game of hockey in holland i love that style its not half as rough as over here but there is a lot of sticking besides himself two other canadian recruits signed on with trias not surprisingly the three canucks led the club in scoring we played belgium one night to a 99 tie three canadians got eight of the nine goals mike recalls however the lopsided strength of canadian players is something the compact centre doesnt like to discuss holland unlike sweden or czechoslovakia is not a bastion of talent for nhl scouts soccer is the national sport mikes club finished second in the netherlands cup last march he was the third highest scorer on his team behind the other two imports the division included six holland and three belgium squads if we had finished first we would have moved up to the first divi sion laments the st johns school counsellor
