IT WAS THE All Seasons
Lightning's tournament, alright.

Having gone through the work
of staging the event, the team
decided it was only reasonable
they get to take the title home.

But Hazelton made sure it was
no walkover, staying in the game
until there was less than: two
minutes left,

That’s when Ritchie Piattoni
fed Darcy Mallett who beat the

Hazelton had- made the board
first when Doug Spooner and
Simon Dodd set up Trevor

halfway through the 30 minute

Lightning strike
burns Hazelton

Wesley pass to close the gap.

Desjardins struck three minutes
later to make it 4-2, a prelude to
10 scoreless minutes of fast, clean
hockey.

The Lightning having taken a
penalty, Dodd picked up his
second point of the game, scoring
on the power play from Wesley
and giving Hazleton hope,

Hope that was dashed by the
Mallett-Piattoni combo.

In earlier playoff action,
Methanex of Kitimat brushed off
Precision Builders Blues 7-3 for
third while the Back Eddy Bullies
and Skeena Hotel Sharks settled
for a share of fifth after producing
a goal [est 10-10 result.

Ali Season’s domination carried
through even to the puck shcot
competition, to raise money for
the Rick and Paul King
Foundation,

As the only entry to hit the
target, Peter Bonser of the
Lightning carned the $100 prize
money.

After paying out Bonser, the
team had $165 to donate to the
Foundation plus $400 from their
raffle. Add the money ithe
Ringette club’s 50-50 draw
raised, and the Foundation got an
$842.50 boost from the
Lightning’s tournament.

-NHL will bounce back

Does this story seem vaguely
famitiar?

A New York taam complains
that its contract with Madison

| Square Garden makes it difficult

to turn a profit. At the same time,
three of the NHL's best players
walk out on their teams
demanding improved contracts.
Concerned that cthers might
follow sult and drive up costs, the

# league president declares he'll

suspend any player who refuses
to sign a fair contract.

Might have been yesterday, but
the year was 1931. The team in
trouble was the New- York
Americans and the holdout
players were Frank Boucher,
Hooley Smith and Babe Seibert.

That's not the only time in its
storied history the NHL has

a seemed a blue line short of a full

rink. Insurmountable obstacles
are nothing new to a league that’s
lasted about 80 years.

While today’s players loathe a
salary cap, theirs wouldn't be the
first. In 1932 the league instituted
a $70,000 salary cap. Uh...
that's per team. And in 1934,
when the economy hadn't
improved, the cap was reduced
to $62,500 and the most any

y player was allowed to make was

7 grand. In an effort to stay within

s the cap, several teams had to
8 trade high-priced talent. Even the
s Canadiens perennial scoring
§ leader, Howie Morenz, was dealt

to Chicago because of MONEY.
There’s a history of mistrust,

too. The Stanley Cup final of

1918 featured Montreal against

y Toronto in a two-game series with

the receipts to be shared by the
league's three teams.
Significantly, the third team,
Ottawa, stipulated in the
agreement it be allowed to verity
all the receipts.

On the ice there have been
times when some felt ruination
was imminent. Remember the
recent furor over the dreaded
neutral zone trap? Well, back in

2 the 30s, Art Ross was accused of

having the Bruins play so
defensively they bored the tans.
He offered $1,000 to anyone who
could prove it but didn't have to

7 pay, having neglected to mention

Pees The
dl

The Voice of

Canucks

by Jim Hughson

what he required as proof.

While there is often a longing
for better, simplar times, there
really haven't been many. In the
70s, when Vancouver and Buffalo
were granted franchises for a
mere $6 million, the Canucks’ top
ticket price was $6.50.
Meanwhile, across the continent
in New York, four players,
including Jean Ratelle and Brad
Park, refused to report to camp
until they got money comparable
to the new entries’ draft picks,
Dale Tallon and Gil Perreault.

By the middle of the decade,
there were 38 teams in North
America, between the WHA and

NHL, and the competition for
players forced the Kansas City
Scouts to pay their first draft
pick, Wilf Paiement, half a
millian dollars. The Scouts
were as distraught as the
Americans were over their
lease in the 30s and the
Rangers are over their payroll
today.

The point is just about the
time you think all is lost and the
NHL is sliding downhill faster
than Todd Brooker, history tells
us it's bounced back from the
brink before and most
assuredly will again.
