SPORTS BEAT By Glen May Play to win From Victoria in the West to St. John's in the East there is minor hockey approximately eight months ever year. Thousands of boys take part in the mammoth shinny pro- gram with each hamlet and city having its own setup, under au- spices of the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association. Basically, most leagues are alike. The emphasis is supposed to be placed on "every boy receiv- | ing equal ice time," with the im- portance of winning being sec- j ondary. "T'aint so." I've trav- elled this big land almost from coast to coast and_ shivered through hundreds of minor hockey skirmishes, talked to a host of coaches and officials, and the result has mostly been the same -- "We try to give all the players equal ice time, DUE? Everybody likes to be a win- ner whether it's mumbly pegs or a fast game of snap. And why not? Nobody enjoys losing, al- though we are told we must be "good losers." I ask you, how can anyone ap- preciate coming out on the short end of the stick when he's given it his best shot, mentally and physically? It's just not hu- man nature to be able to honest- ly congratulate your conquerors without showing or feeling re-. sentment. Minor hockey is indeed a fine system of offering young boys the opportunity of competition, as our entire economic concept is based upon this challenge. But if we are to be honest, we will forget the idea of giving ev- eryone equal opportunity in games. Games are played to win. During practices and exhibi- tion games equal time can be given all players. If a boy doesn't 'measure up then you have to go with the ones who do. Each team has ample time for practice allowing a coach to assess players' values. It's not like our minor football system where practice time is limited due to weather and a short sea- son. Most minor hockey organiza- tions have categories in which players can be graded, giving the poorest lad a chance to "make the team." This is good. However, if a youngster is borderline with a Class D team, there is no reason he should be given as much ice time as the better players. His mistakes could result (and usually do) in defeat, and this often results in little Johnny being socially re- jected by his teammates. There's nothing wrong with a coach explaining to a boy he just isn't good enough and sug- gesting he try again next year. Most kids can accept this. In fact, most poorer players real. ize it and need only verbal confirmation from the coach. This method eliminates a | coach's responsibility of having to give poorer players "equal ice time." He's selected the best' players for his team and can juggle them as he desires. Over the season you will find they all receive their share of ice time. Then they can go out and play the game to win. Sure, a coach will attempt to convince his team each player must accept defeat gracefully, but he real- izes the message doesn't regis- ter. Competition can be fun, but only when you win. You don't take part in any sport with the idea you're going to lose. What the result should be is that when a team loses, the players don't become angered with officials and the opposi- tion, but blame the loss on themselves and _ strive. even harder for victory the next time out. Then the competitive spirit is ingrained. We remember the words of Bill Zock, captain of that great Edmonton Eskimo Grey Cup machine during the middle 50's: 'Winning isn't the most impor- tant thing, it's the only thing!"
