sv quality hockey slipping away tribune march 15 1989 cis as the current hockey season winds down in whitchurch- stouffville one that was somewhat lacking in both quality and quantity at the upper levels one is left wondering about the state of the great canadian game m this town sure the novice rep team is a shoein to take its zone title which is as far as she goes at that level and i would imagine that the mens amateur hockey league is healthier than ever in addition there is mens shin ny which is forever taking place at the recreation centre along with the high schools fun league but that seems to say it all when it comes to hockey in stoaf- jville no one wants it to be anything more than fun anymore which i suppose is not such a bad thing except when you have adopted the uxbridge bruins as your own personal cause for the past couple of months and have been glued to your seat as the junior c squad fought its way to the playoffs before being final ly edged in a nipandtuck seven- game series all it did was leave me wonder ing which we cant have that type sport notes bruce stapley of competitive hockey in stouff ville despite the negative responses of some that there isnt sufficient interest at either the player level or with the fans keith jewett who used to score his share of goals for the old stouffville red wings in the 1940s made the point recently that in his day kids didnt even begin to play organized hockey until they were 14 before that age they would play shinny on the pond now he says a lot of kids are just plain tired of hockey by the time they turn 14 and have no in terest in competing at the allstar level or at all for that matter and there is the matter of cost bill harris who owns and operates arena supply in ballan- trae a sports equipment

3000 to outfit a kid for competitive hockey these days says bill and most families just dont have that kind of dough keith also mentions that there are so many other interests for the teens of the 80s that hockey just doesnt cut it as a high priori ty pursuit other sports as well as parttime jobs are now taking the time that was once devoted to hockey also the social life of a teenager today tends to see him involved in a plethora of ac tivities that doesnt leave time for the commitment to a program like rep team hockey still its a shame when the likes of dan larmer darren baston paul sinclair chris winn jason underwood craig stronach jamie showers and aaron mcwilliams have no place to go in stouffville once their midget days are through so what happens is that those kids end up thrilling them in markham uxbridge and vaughan leaving the stouffville fans with precious little to satisfy their appetite for good hockey at the local level i suppose its just another sign of our increasing urbanization a condition that tends to negate both the need and the demand for the activities that were once so welcomed in a rural area with lit tle to become involved in during the winter but i suspect were missing out on something an avid hockey fan at heart i couldnt remember the last time i had jumped out of my seat to cheer a goal the way i had done during the uxbridge bruins- wellington dukes series but perhaps its time to accept the fact that in stouffville at least i am among the dinosaurs who will always yearn for a bygone era skating on the whitchurch stouffville adult skating
