While the majority of us are home in bed watching Johnny Carson on Tuesday nights, a group of hockey buffs are down at the ice arena working out. THESE HOCKEY fanatics are more commonly called the Bountiful Bucks of the senior hockey league. The team competes in the B League of the Salt Lake Amateur Hockey League. The league is designed for intermediate inter-mediate players. THERE IS also an A League for advanced players and a C League for beginners. Games in the B League are played on either Sunday. Saturdays Sa-turdays or Tuesdays. The Bountiful team has just completed its season, although not the most productive season the players learned and gained valuable experience. TO PLAY each player went out and got someone to sponsor spon-sor them in the amount of $50. This money went to purchase the players jersey, pants and socks. The players themselves furnished the rest of their equipment. Along with this expense each player has to pay a registration fee to the league of $45. SO WITH all the money thev have invested in their equipment and their time it's obvious that these people take their hockey seriously. The coach of the team is Jim Burns, a native of Scotland who just loves the game of hockey. The team representative is Kevin Mauchley. CAPTAIN OF the team is Bob Hinckley, who along with Bryan Flannery and Rodger Johnson were the leading scorers for the team. There is also a team from Bountiful in the A league, both squads expect to be strengthened next year with the amount of interest generated in Bountiful for hockey. Also many of the players in the high schools graduate this year and will bolster the teams. ANYONE interested in joining the hockey team is encouraged to come and join them on Tuesdays at their workouts. |
