FRIDAY, MAY 15, 1992

after all, what are friends for?
"Sometimes you have to
watch out more for friends
than strangers because you
think they won't get you
back," Platt said with a smile.
Larry Brown, who has been
playing on the same line with
Platt and Oak Park resident
Jack Schwartz, a periodon-
tist, almost since the first
days of the YHL, remembers
an incident that happened
about eight years ago which
demonstrated the com-
petitiveness but also the
fellowship of the league.
"I guess I shoved a guy in-
to the boards and I tore his
jersey," said Brown, 33, a
podiatrist who lives in South-
field. "He put his stick into
my gut and before you knew
it, guys were fighting.
"What's amazing is we had
just formed the teams about
10 minutes earlier and guys
were sticking up for their
teammates. It was a night I'll
never forget."
Calm was restored shortly
after the tussle began, and
now the incident brings
smiles to those who were
involved.
Brown's nickname, by the
way, is Reed. Rosenberg
dubbed him that several
years ago, saying Brown's
play on the ice reminded him
of then-Detroit Red Wings
defenseman Reed Larson.
Larson has retired. Brown
is still playing.
So how much longer will
there be a YHL? How much
longer will these guys be able
to absorb the checks, the
shots off the ankles, the
shoves into the boards and
the few less h6urs of sleep
each week?
"I'd say we'll play as long as
we're here and we stay

healthy," Rosenberg pre-
dicted.
"I can see us playing into
our 40s," Brown added. "Hey,
then you'd have yourself quite
a story."
It's already a good one,
Larry. 0
