Then if you’re Maurice ‘Rocket’ Richard you mothball . your stick and gloves, get together with former friends.and - enemies from the old days, and travel across Canada secing the off-beat parts of our nation, act- ing as a referee in up to 50 games a season. Harris declares himself as semi-retired, but is gathering no moss just sitting around the house. He does charge a fee for those banquet appearances because you can’t live on the pension he earned 20 years ago. ‘We didn’t get anything com- parable in salary when you con- sider what they make today,’’ he told us. Fitzpatrick just keeps — on cooking Going into last weekend, Mark Fitzpatrick and his New York Islanders were doing just fine, thank you. The young Kitimat goalie had helped his team back into first,place in the Patrick Division, and they held a five-point margin over New Jersey. Fitzpatrick, who got off to a slow start (along with the team) is now among the top net- minders in the league. He’s won 16 games, lost 12 and tied three. He has three shutouts, and even picked up a Player-of-theWeek award dur- ing one hot streak. Mark’s goals-against average is 3.37 in 32 games. On the score sheet he’s picked up one assist. Mark has allowed 103 goals in 1,835 minutes of play. a l way 16 West As a member of the Montreal Old Pros team, which is making its second annual appearance in this area after a two-year absence, Harris said they set up a six or seven-game schedule when they travel far from their - Toronto Lome base. Just recently the Old Pros travelled to Alberta where they plaed towns like Fort McMurray ‘and Pincher Creek. Harris said most of the team can get away for these week-long trips if they know in advance about the schedule. He said they couldn’t make a living at it — it’s not big money. ‘“‘We don’t make enough money to survive, but I just en- joy the travelling. I feel like a tourist.”’ He was looking forward toa one-day break at Smithers where many of the players planned to hit the ski hill. We asked him for an opinion on the proposed new Global Hockey League, wondering if he felt it was a similar situation to the old World Hockey Associa- tion. ’ Harris feels if the league does start up it will be detrimental due to a thinning of talent. ‘‘We_ won't see good hockey for a long time.’’ As for the recent release of NHL salary lists, Harris doesn’t feel there'll be any great surge towards major increases. ‘‘Basketball and baseball players, and football too — they have a minimum wage much higher than hockey players. But there’s a good reason. Their leagues “get millions due to lucrative TV contracts, so they can afford to pay out big bucks. “The NHL doesn’t have a contract anywhere near those U.S. pro leagues, and until such time as we do — and this would depend a lot on Americans sud- denly learning to love the game — I can’t see hockey salaries moving up the ladder.” Tomorrow night at 7:30 at Kitimat and Friday night at 7:30 at Terrace, it’s the Montreal Old Pros here to show their skills.
