A different side
of Dave Williams

VANCOUVER HOCKEY fans — and indeed in all the Na-
tional Hockey League cities — know Dave Tiger Williams as
a pugnacious winger who makes up for whatever he lacks in
skills with heart and character you either love or hate.

The other side of Dave Williams is the one younsters like
Robby Clarke (in photo at right) see when the Tiger drops by
to help oul the Special Olympics program.

Williams became involved in the program while playing in

Toronto and continued his activities during his stay in Van-
couver.

ONE OF THE memorable moments in the lack-
lustre history of the Vancouver Canucks hockey
club was an overtime goal that beat the Calgary
Flames in the first round of the playoffs that
miraculous year the lads made it all the way to the

Stanley Cup final.

The goal was not a thing of
beauty but the Uuming was
perfection. It broke the
Flames’ spint and propelled
the Canucks to uncharted
post-season heights. The goal
was not scored by Thomas
Gradin and Stan Smyl but,
rather, came off a typically
crude backhander by Dave
**Tiger’’ Williams.

Many of us still have a
clear picture of The Tiger
charging down the ice after-
wards, going into his victory
shuffle with delirious team-
mates hanging off his back.

While Williams — who
was dealt to Detro# Red
Wings Aug. 8 for

journeyman winger Rob Mc-
Clanahan — gave Vancouver
fans many entertaining
moments on and off the ice,
-here is a group of individuals
that will remember him more
for his presence out of
uniform, at -a North Shore
high school gymnasium or a
Richmond Community
Centre.

That's because Wilhams
has a flip-side to his com-
bative on-ice personality For
the past 10 years, the
pugnacious left-winger has

By JIM JAMIESO

been deeply involved with the
Special Olympics both at the
coaching and fund-raising
levels.

And because of that, his
move to Detroit will much
more than deprive the local
media of colorful quotes — it
will also create a not-insub-
stantial vacuum in the B.C.
Special Olympics program.

“**It will definitely affect it
(my participation) locally,’’
says Williams, who will be
moving his family to the
Detroit area in September but
plans te_return to his North
Vancouver heme in the off-
season. ‘‘During the winter-
ume I was doing something
(for Special Olympics) one
night a week — except, of
course, during road _ trips.
Obviously, I won't be in a
posiuon to do that now.’’

Bill Bean, executive direc-
tor of the B.C. Special Olym-
pics, is hopeful that Willams
can continue his work with
the program on some basis.
