Hockey Seah: Looking Bad

By CHRIS ANNETT

with lttend Hockey Week in Canada over it is about time

to take a look at the hockey picture in the country excluding the NHL. By hockey picture I mean the efforts to solidify Can- ada’s reputation as the home of the best hockey in the world

and although a couple of bright

rays shine saronee the cloudy

horizon the situation is bleak :to-say the Let’s start with the National Hockey ao slated to rep-

resent us at the World Hockey

Championships in Europe this’

month. The Russians beat them without too much effort on their tour of the country and even the optimists can see no hope of

the Habs winning the tourney. They have tri officials attempted to get more exhibition ga’

ough. Team ith the OHA

stars and semi-pro teams of at least their strength. No luck eee they were:rebuffed at every turn.

The picture was not helped at all when Gordon Juckes an nounced. ‘that CAHA officials were seriously considering not inviting the -Russian-team back-to- tour Canaltia because’ of the trouble they réised during the past tour. The Soviets were put up_in the best hotels and had the best of everything. Yet all they -could dois complain and criticize. It looks as if the na- ticnal team won't have any warmup games of consequence next

year.

ext there is the University of Manitoba Bisons who are to represent Canada at the World Intercollegiate Hockey cham- pionships in Turin, Italy this weekend,. The Bisons, it may be

remembered won the Canadian championship at the expense of Saint Dunstan's in the finals last year but this year were not |

even able to come close to retaining their Western Intrcollegiate hockey crown, The University of Alberta has already taken this end there is still a quarter of the schedule left to be played. The Bisons are going to Italy though, and the. .rookie packed

blow to-Canadian prestige to hockey world is acutely aware

thet the Bisons are‘ten teams away from being the best in the country. ‘Why should they go when they are second rate?

Well those are just two of the bigger blotches. The Sher- brooke Beavers took a fearful pounding in Russia, both on the ice and in the press. Another strike against Canada as far as prestige goes, And: so the decay goes on.

However there are “a couple

No site has yet been set

for the. tourney.

These are the only two bright spots and even the first is a bit dubious. Canadians all over the country will most likely see their own national team getting soundly trounced by the Soviets

It might give them an inferiority complex.
