Back when I played in college (intramurals only), I used both. I am by nature
a lefty in all ways. I shoot right in hockey because it was always more
comfortable, God knows why. When I was in high school, I spent all the money
I earned one summer to buy a pair of Cooper GM12's, Left Blocker, Right
Catching Glove, just to play pond and street (stupid kid!). When I went to
handle the puck forehand (right shot), I slid the blocker up and pushed with
the Trapper. When I was playing the puck on the other side (left), I kept
the blocker low, swung the stick to the left, and levered fron the top with
the Trapper. For left or right backhands, I kept the blocker low and did it
one-handed, using the Trapper arm for balance. I never studied it or any NHL
goalie, just did what felt natural. On the one-handed stuff, having the blocker
on my stronger hand really helped, because my left arm was stronger.

For fun memories, I played one game with a separated left shoulder. I was on
the school club team in prep school (post grad football scholarship for the
academically challenged with high SATs) and we were playing against a Jr.
college club team. I couldn't even lift the stick off the ice, and if I had
dropped it, I never could have picked it up. I passed by putting the stick
on the puck and kicking the blade with my right skate. Hurt like hell, but
it worked. Old time hockey, eh?

Organization: DSG, Stanford University, CA 94305, USA
Date: Sat, 17 Oct 92 01:43:39 GMT

Right wing Perry Berezan, who missed the first four games the Sharks played
thus far with a hairline crack of his left fibula, might be ready to play
Saturday, when the Sharks will play the Calgary Flames at the Cow Palace.
Berezan said that he believes that his leg has recovered sufficiently, and he
will talk with the coaching staff today regarding his status.

Center Ray Whitney, recovering slowly from off-season surgery to remove bone
spours from his heels, participated in the morning practice yesterday before
the game against the Boston Bruins.  "I'd guess about two more weeks," said
Whitney.  "It's feeling pretty good right now."  Whitney is expected to be
sent to the Kansas City Blades when he becomes ready to play.

Dale Craigwell, Pat MacLeod, John Carter, Jean-Francois Quintin, Ed Courtenay,
Mikhail Kravets, Jeff Odgers, and Sandis Ozolinsh, all of whom played the IHL
playoffs for the Blades, will receive IHL championship rings before the game
against Calgary.

The 'Hawks are playing Washington in Indianapolis on 3rd November and the

There are a lot of 'neutral' sites this season - all down to the centenary

I've been tardy in posting Oilers news, with the USENET draft and all.  Sorry.

The Oilers are off to a slow start at 0-3-1.  The players and coaches aren't
worried, however, as the previous two seasons have started slowly also.

The current 25 man roster looks like:

LW			C			RW
#21 Corson		#9  Nicholls		#85 Klima
#18 Simpson		#41 Gilchrist		#27 Mellanby
#10 Tikkanen		#23 Vujtek		#42 Beranek
#?? Maley		#14 MacTavish		#16 Buchberger

#19 Wright
#?? DeBrusk
#7  Gelinas

D		D
#24 Manson	#23 Hawgood
#21 Richardson	#28 Muni
#6  Glynn	#25 Smith

#2  Joseph
#35 Leroux

G
#30 Ranford
#1  Tugnutt


The listed lines were used on opening night.  Since then, Vujtek and Maley
have been replaced by Wright and Gelinas, and Leroux has played a game in
Hawgood's spot.  Some of the lines have been juggled around, but Nicholls
and Klima remain on the top line.  Tikkanen has been moved around in attempts
to get him going, as he is scoreless in 4 games.  Klima is the top goal
scorer with 4 G, 5 P.  Manson and Glynn have 3 points each among the
defencemen.

Ray Bourque took 6 stitches above and below the eye. The eye itself was also
scratched, but is not too bad. He may play tonight (Monday), but this will
depend on how his eye feels and how well he can see. All in all, I'd say
he was pretty lucky. That could have easily been a SERIOUS injury.

>Also, any other comments about the game welcome. Who played well for the

Joey Juneau continues to look good. Ted Donato looks better than he
should. Dmitri Kvartalnov looks OK, not yet accustomed to the team, etc.
I mean, he looks good - takes a lot of shots, is fast, tricky, etc -
but I think he'll be a LOT better once he settles down a little.

Andy Moog was amazing. Glen Healey looked pretty amazing, too. The
B's really picked it up in the third period and OT (8 shots in overtime -
and a couple were really labeled).

I wouldn't expect Dan or Dave to be in commercials any time soon.  Reebok
pulled the ad during the Olympics.

Both athletes still compete, in fact, Dan just set the world record in the
decathlon about a month ago.

Look to see track athletes emerging in commercials around the world ch
championships in three years, or around the Olympics in 1996.

Just a few clarifications:

	   The commercials were pulled from the air After the Olympics had
finished.

    The next World Championships are next year (1993) in Stuggart, although
	   I don't know if that will do much for commercial endorsements.
