in the appropriate dress and
colours of the zone.

The team says they had
already raised approximate-
ly $660 through raffles and
other fund raising activities.

City Alderman Gary
Payne said a contribution of
$200 was not too much for

City taxpayers to afford to
show some support for the
team and other council
members agreed by approv-
ing the grant.

Two weeks ago North Van
District council rejected the
same request for a grant,
following their policy of
refusing all ad hoc grants.

- If you are accustomed to
the hard one-liners, the gruff
and bluff of many National
Hockey League players,
then you are not prepared to
talk with Dr. Randy Gregg
-—— captain of the Canadian

National Hockey Team,
Dr. Gregg, who puts his
words together with the

same finesse he uses to steer
through hordes of opposing
hockey players, leads the
national team against the
Dutch Tuesday as com-
petition opens at the 1980

Winter Olympics.

This collection of college
‘Mayers, many of them
university graduates, have

for seven months carried on
a kind of quiet revolution
aimed at the nation’s hockey
consciousness. They are
trying to offer spectators and
young players an alternative
to the NHL.

Gregg, 23, who graduated
from the University of
Alberta’s medical school last
May, thinks the battle is
already going in favor of
Team Canada.

“I think we have proved
you don't have to play
grinding, acutely physical
hockey. We are not afraid to
hit. Certainly we have men
that are capable of hitting
with the best.

Gregg, a native of Ed-
monton, is a symbol of the
self-sacrificing national team
idea nurtured by Calgary's
Father David Bauer for 20
years.

Like many of his team-
mates, Gregg has tem-
porarily shunned a chance
for the instant cash that
accompanies a pro contract.
He has also waived an op-

portunity to begin his
medical internship.
The gold medal, or any

Otympic medal,

he says, is
also important.

He erases any doubt about
the ultimate mission of this
team.

“We feel we are playing
for the future, for today’s six
and seven-year-olds, kids
who have nothing but the
NHL to shoot at.

“We hope we can leave
them with the notion that the
nation’s Olympic team and
the Olympic gold medal is
worth shooting at.”

Gregg, who plans to
specialize in orthopedics,
says‘ that learning the in-
ternational game is much
like breaking old bones and
resetting them.

“It's very difficult. We
were all raised on the style of
hockey in which you dump
the puck and hit. We (the
national team) had to accept
change. If our pros were

prepared to accept . the
changes we accepted, they
would be the best in the

world.”
