The main concern was that the salaries now being paid are lower than the other homes in the area. This has been one of the rea- sons for the heavy turn- over in the R.N. staff in the past year. Both the union and the board will be investigating ways to solve this problem. The next Board meet- ing will be held at Pine- wood Court on July 6th. Superior Hockey Schools Superior Hockey Schools announces four new instructors added to the already fine coach- ing staff. Walt Poddubny of the Toronto Maple Leafs; Mike Tomlak, Corn- wall Royals, Ontario Hockey league; Rob De- Gagne, North Bay, On- tario Hockey League; and George Cava, Ital- ian 2nd Division League, are ready to instruct during the 1984 Superior Hockey School. Poddubny, a Thunder Bay native who played his minor hockey lo- cally had a fine season despite a broken an- kle which sidelined him for most of the season. Walt played junior hockey in Thunder Bay before moving to Major "A" with the Brandon Wheat Kings, and later the Kingston Cana- dians where he was drafted as Edmonton's 4th overall choice in 1980. Walt holds the Leafs record for most goals by a rookie with 28 in 1982- 83. He also had 31 assists for 59 points to help the Leafs to the playoffs. Tomlak had a fine season with Cornwall, leading the team in scor- ing with 88 points and being nominted for player of the year in junior hockey. Mike played minor hockey lo- cally and one season _with the Thunder Bay Junior Kings coached by School Director, Dave Siciliano. It is expected that Mike will sign a contract for the Toronto Maple Leafs and has an excellent chance of joining Poddubny for the 1984-85 season. Degagne, a standout minor player in Thun- der Bay, has played the last two seasons with the North Bay Centennials of the Ontario Hockey League. Degagne had a fine season scoring 61 points while only playing 37 games because of in- juries. DeGagne's sec- ond effort has always earned him high praise and excellent results in every league he has played in. Rob was one of the first counsellors at the school and now graduates to an in- structor. Cava played his minor "continued on page 10
