1ft8 14 the tribune thursday may 4 if78 fr3 coachs equal system works bykdtfcboleader its always refreshing to see a new and different ay to do things and its even better to see that it works thats bow it is with cord lewis who had a fai r amount of success in his difficult task of coaching a boys hockey team this past season gord who lives on kennedy road and i8th avenue coached this years edition of the bantam bs and his way of coaching the boys is gord lewis coached this years bantam b hockey team with a system that allowed every player equal ice time and no superstars midas markham 762 markham at lawrence phone 4384400 mi das lot78 c f0r chakuexj ifims mufflers bhauit dvxti guaranteed for at lent at you own tin car certainly derent from most others for gord is one of the ever increasing number of essches who feel that their players should above all else be having fun and that they should all be playing equally with no boy set out for special status however on the other hand gord like any coach would like to see his boys win the thing is they do the bantams had a quite successful year winning about 60 per cent of their games although they didnt win any cham pionships they came dose gord seems to be trying to return minor hockey back to its roots when the boys played for fun and not the high powered professional type pressures and competition that is rampant in the sport today one reason that might explain gords rather unique approach to coaching is that this is his first year behind the bench that he had no previous pattern to follow however a more likely explanation might be that gord who owns a farm is a man of his convictions as he explained i laid it on the boys right off there would be no swearing or carrying on in outoftown rinks i showed them that i respected them and they gave me respect back and i made it dear that every boy would play there would be no soedal privileges for anyone and that meant through the regular season and the playoffs gords decision to coach that way comes from his own playing days which spanned 13 years in the stouffville leagues thats the way i was taught how to play and i figure its still good enough now gord admitted there was a bit of trouble at the start but nothing serious once the boys realized he meant what he said and that they all would play regularly he commented that the boys quickly developed a strong team spirit in fact gord pointed out that one boy walked from altona twice just to get to practice apparently the 1 system found favourwith the parents if parents dont like the way their boy is being played theyll let the coach know either on or off the ice gord however claims not one parent came to him to complain and concerning the competitive aspects gord said sure we all like to win but if the team lost and it was a close game the boys accepted it with no griping our schedule was mainly against a towns and were a b town but we pulled off a few upsets and it was just through the hard work of the players a lot said if we want to win we have to play or best well we dont have a best there all the best as to the sport in the minor sense gord agrees it has become much too competitive theres too much pressure on us and on the kids hell let them have fun thats the way it should be figure skaters from all jiarts of ontario and quebec competed at the scarboro skate
