PAL Hockey At Jack Adams
By H rry M. And r on, Jr.

(Second in a four part series)
DETROIT- While the Detroit
Hockey Association (DHA) is
recruiting players and parents to join,
parents whose children are current
m mbers are lending a hand to their
kids and other players who are in­
volved in the program. These parents
not only believe in their kids 'and the
OHA, but they're also encouraged
about the game of hockey which was
first believed unattainable to the
black community.
Barbara Wyatt of D troit, who e
daughter Monica plays goalie for the
Adray League Flyers, has seen the .
progre of her daughter'S ability and
would like to see' other parents and
kids get involved.
"It (The Jack Adams program) is a
very good program," Wyatt said. "It's
a program that the kids should reallt
get into."
"IT' A MYTH TO THINK
black kids aren't intere tep in hockey
because I know a lot of kids that
would be interested in playing.
Monica has been playing for six years'
and has been encouraged by her
friends who now have the desire to
play."
Eugene Owens, who's the
manager for the Squirt Division ReQ
Wings in the Jack Adams House
League, has hi son Stefan playing.
He explained that his son made
progress in his skating with his sup­
port.
"My got involved through the
Police Athletic League when he was
at the rink," Owens aid. "Because of
his trong interest I brought him up
here to ign up to play."
"My on has been at it for five
years. When he first signed up he
didn't know how to kate, but he got
into it and i enjoying it. He doe play
other ports.but.a lot of kid on hi
black aren't exposed to hockey."

"Hockey is expensive for paren
who don't know about the cost of
. hockey," Owens explained. "If tb Y
go out there and buy new equipment
it's going to be expensive, but getting
involved with the DHA and the
players parents, they'll find out how
. to purchase good used equipment and
how possible it is to play." •
"By buying used equipment you
can save up to 60 to 70.percent off t�
b e price of new-equipment. I saved
money by buying-equipment from
.different people. But most black
people don't even know that thi rink
exists in Detroit Some don't even
know that there's a hockey program
here." .
Both parents concluded though
that the OHA is doing all it can to get
more kids involved by hel ing
parents buy used equipme and
publiczing the program.
