That statement by Roger Bourbonnais of Canada's na- tional hockey team summed up the feelings of all concerned when Carl Brewer was re-in- stated as an amateur Thursday. It marked the end of more than three months of bickering between the nationals, profes- sional hockey and Brewer, for- mer all-star defenceman with Toronto Maple Leafs of the Na- tional Hockey League. Brewer is expected to play his first game as a member of the national team against Rus- sia's touring B team in Victoria Sunday. "It's a boost not only to Carl, but to the whole team," said Bourbonnais, the nationals' vet- eran centre, Coach Jackie McLeod said he realizes that Brewer is not in top shape and it will take time to get him into form. He wasn't able to practice with the na- tionals prior to obtaining his re- lease and while he skated to keep in trim, "it wasn't the best and couldn't take the place of workouts with the team," Mc- Leod said. EXPERIENCE COUNTS "He is bound to help us ex- perience-wise and in many other aspects," said Gary Begg, an- other member of the nationals. "He is going to be a fine teacher, We'll learn a lot from him." Defenceman Terry O'Malley Finally Free NHL's board of governors amended the league's bylaws to cover the situation and NHL president Clarence C a mp bell announced Dec. 2 that Brewer was free to apply for reinstate- ment, There was another short de- lay, while Brewer refiled rein- statement papers. The Maple Leafs said they had lost the origional papers. To Join National Team Campbell and CAHA pres- ident Fred Page of Vancouver announced Thursday that the application was in order and that Brewer was now a rein- stated amateur, Brewer went to Winnipeg in October, but was restricted to selling tickets and welfare work with the Indian affairs depart- ment in Kenora, Ont.
