Junior hockey
a losing venture

NEW WESTMINSTER,

B.C. (CP) — Ernie
McLean, coach and part
owner of New West:
minster Bruins of the
Westem Canada Hockey
League, says most junior
teams continue to operate
vecause of pride, not
money.
“Pd venture to guess
that there isn't a team in
the WCHL that isn't
losing money right now,”
McLean said in an inter-
view Sunday.

McLean was com-
menting on an agreement
reached last week bet-
ween the National
Hockey League and the
Canadian Major Junior
Hockey League. The
CMJHL comprises the
WCHL, the Ontario Major
Junior Hockey League
‘ and the Quebec Major
Junior Hockey League.

He said he hopes to
convince a majority of
WCHL owners that the
major junior negotiatin
committee struck a ba
deal with the NHL.

The WCHL owners
_ were meeting Monday in

Calgary.

“What bothers me most
is that the junior
negotiating committee
didn’t have one actual
junior owner on it,” said
McLean. ‘The people
who have their life
savings invelved are the
ones who can understand
we haven't been offered a
fair deal.”

WORTH $20,000

The old agreement
between the major
juniors and the NHL,

which expired in 1975, -

saw the junior operators
get $20,000 for each of the
irst 50 players taken in
the NHL's annual ama-
teur draft. The new deal
pays junior teams $7,500
or firstround selections,
with the remainder of the
$20,000 spread over five
years,

"Td rather sue
Colorade and Minnesota
over the use of Barry
Beck and Brad Maxwell
than accept what they’re
offering,” McLean said.
“And if we find our
contracts are no good,
then we'll just have to tell
the pros we're closing the

Lafleur number
one, again

MONTREAL (CP) —
Guy Lafleur of Montreal
Canadiens was in a more
familiar position Monday
when the National
Hockey League released
statistics on the circuit’s
scoring leaders and top
goaltenders.

Lafleur, who led the
NHL scoring parade the
last two seasons but had
not been at the top yet
this year, finds himself
alone leading the pack
with 26 points compared
with 25 for Bryan Trottier
of New York Islanders.

The Montreal right
winger picked up seven
points last week on five
goals and two assists and
also leads the league in
the goals department
with 15. Three came
against Toronto Maple
Leafs Saturday as La-
fleur became the first
player this season to have
two threegoal games.

Trottier's total is made
up of 11 goals and 14
assists.

Jacques Lemaire of
Montreal, third in the
scoring race with 22
points, leads the assists
column with 18.

Paul Gardner of
Colorado Rockies, the
scoring leader two weeks

ago, picked up only two
assists last week and is

’ fourth with 21 points on 12

goals and nine assists.
Veteran Phil Esposito of
New York Rangers is tied
with Gardner in fourth
place,

goals and nine assists

Leach has seven goals
and 13 assists.

Minnesota North Stars.
Both had signed junior
contracts with the
Bruins, a F roe

which stipulted the
$20,000 payment to the
unior team when signed
y a professional club.

McLean said CMJHL
teams were paying up to
$1,500 for players brought
up from Tier Two teams.

“T can't understand
why they (the pros) are
willing to pay the
European federations
like Sweden $40,000 for a
player transfer, then tell
us somebody like Beck of
Jere Gillis (former
Sherbrooke, Que., junior
now with Vancouver
Canucks of the NHL) is
worth only $7,000," added
McLean.

The major juniors do
not have an agreement
with the World Hockey
Association.
