0 Page 12--The Michigan Daily-Tuesday, December 11, 1990 HOCKEY NOTEBOOK Stone named CCHA Player of the Week by Dan Zoch 0 ri 0 s e', Daily Hockey Writer Don Stone, senior team co-cap- tain of the Michigan hockey team, has bcen named CCHA Player of the ,wWeek. Stone notched a hat trick on Saturday and three assists on Friday against Western Michigan. "It's * great honor," said Stone,. "but the important thing was that we won four points Ed stayed close to Lake Superior." Stone adds more than offensive production to the Wolverine lineup. "Den is most notable because he is so capable of scoring goals," said Michigan coach Red Berenson. "But he's so good because he's able to do things which aren't so noticeable like playing a defe 've role." LINEUP CHANGES: Sopho- more defender David Harlock will be out of this weekend's series with Lake Superior because he will be trying out for the Canadian Junior National team. Co-defender Patrick Neaton has been selected for the US Junior National team but he won't be leaving until after the Lake Supe- rior series. Senior defender Kent Brothers will be dressed in the place of Harlock. First-year left winger Cam Stew- art has been disqualified from Friday night's game with Lake Superior due to a fight that broke out in the last minute of Saturday's game. Sopho- more Dan Stiver will be take his place. "You don't like to see these things happen," Berenson said. "It's not good to lose players like that." BETWEEN THE PIPES: Both of Michigan's rookie goaltenders, Chris Gordon and Steve Shields, played at their peak last weekend. Shields, who held the Broncos through most of Saturday, is pleased that both are getting their chance to play on a regular basis. "It's good to see both of us play- ing so well," said Shields. "If one of us should start playing poorly, the other could come and do the job." Canadian powers force Harlock to miss series by Matt Rennie Daily Hockey Writer David Harlock will not play this weekend against Lake Superior State. This news will surprise most Michigan hockey fans, since Harlock usually teams with Patrick Neaton as coach Red Berenson's starting de- fensemen. So what is the reason for the absence of this vital cog in the Michigan hockey machine? It's not an injury. It's not a suspension. In fact, Harlock chose not to play. Actually, Harlock is paying for making the decision to represent his native Canada in the upcoming Junior National hockey tournament. This seems like a rather noble thing to do - an action not worthy of punishment. In fact, the only sin Harlock is guilty of is being a Canadian citizen. This seems to be a unrelated fact, but the truth is that were Harlock playing on the American team, he would be on the ice at Yost this week- end. Neaton is playing for the American Junior Nationals, but he'll be lacing up his skates this weekend against the Lakers. The difference between the two cases is in the selection process of each country. The Americans have already selected their roster. The Canadians will select their players based on their performance at an invite-only, week-Fong, training camp. W ile it's true each country is entitled to select its own team in any way i chooses, the Canadian system is blatantly unfair to college players. Most young Canadian players forego their college careers to play at the Junior A level, with the hope that they will quickly make the jump to the pros. Consequently, the few Canadian players that choose the college route are virtually ignored when it comes to decisions such as this one. Both Harlock and Neaton will miss college games, including the Great Lakes Invitational, but Harlock will have to miss the Wolverines' biggest series of the year as well. In addition, Harlock had to reschedule the final exams he will miss, another fact the Canadian officials obviously consider trivial. Why? So he can attend some superfluous training camp which is actu- ally only a formality. The bottom line is Harlock is going to be selected virtually regardless of his performance at this camp. The team officials know what he can do. It is a mystery why the Canadians need this extra camp to determine their roster. They obviously have some idea who's going to be on the team, since they're capable of picking the players to invite to the camp in the first place. One is forced to wonder why the powers-that-be in the Canadian hockey system feel they must force Harlock to choose between his coun- try and his school. "I feel this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. It's always a big thrill to represent your country," Harlock said. "To a certain extent, I feel pun- ished for choosing the college route." Harlock should not be allowed to skip the camp if everyone else has to go. But the camp itself is inherently unfair to college players, who have commitments to their college teammates and the universities they attend. Young hockey players should have the freedom to decide whether or not to play in college without any outside influences. After all, that's the American way. Apparently, it's not the Canadian way.
