The Huskies credited
Jordan Bishop for their
close-fought 57-56 victory
against the Riverview
Royals. Bishop, with 16
points, came through with
some clutch three-pointers
and an exemplary physical
effort to keep the Royals a
few points away from the
Huskies throughout the
game.
Also scoring were:

Stéphane Goosens came
in second in the three-point
shoot-out competition. After
hitting 7/10 in each of the
two elimination rounds he
came through with another
excellent 7/10, but it was
not good enough to beat the
amazing 9/10 score of MJ

Rural kids get the shaft – again
Bill's SCUTTLEBUTT
BY BILL

The inability of the Nova Scotia School
Athletic Federation and Hockey Nova Scotia to
offset provincial hockey tournaments creates
a dangerous travel situation for some young
hockey players and negatively affects rural
Nova Scotian students by placing them in the
difficult position of having to choose between
playing for their school team or their minor
hockey team – teams they have played on all
winter long.
This is not the first time the two main
governing bodies have scheduled provincial
tournaments on the same weekend, leading
many to believe the two organizations do not
communicate with each other, despite governing
a large, overlapping group of student athletes.
And from past experience, it is not uncommon
to see young hockey players get off the ice in,
say, Antigonish or Truro, then jump in a car and
boot it to Inverness or Baddeck, as they attempt
to honour their commitment to their Minor
Midget AAA or Midget B team while not letting
down their schoolmates playing in NSSAF
Division 2 or 3 high school provincials.
In light of the horrific accident in Bathurst on
Friday, in which seven high school basketball
players and the wife of their coach were killed
on an icy highway, the image of high school
boys rushing from one community to another at
the end of March is not a pretty one. We may
justify a tragic accident by saying it was their
choice to make, but you’d have to be made of
stone not to feel a twinge of guilt for creating the
situation.
The broader effect of the scheduling conflict
is that students in rural areas are the ones
being penalized.
If you play Division 1 high school hockey
in Halifax or Sydney, you are not allowed to
play on a minor hockey team. The skill level
at Division 1 is very high, and many hockey
players choose it over playing Major Midget
AAA. This does not figure into minor hockey
enrolment in the cities because there are
enough players to go around.
Not so in Inverness County or other rural
communities with fewer people, smaller schools,
and bigger geography. In these communities,
high school teams of any sort rarely make cuts.
The kids who show up get to play. They are also
the same kids who play minor hockey. Without
them, their associations wouldn’t survive, and
neither would the local rinks. In fact, the effects
of population decline in rural Nova Scotia are
already taking their toll on MHAs. Communities
as diverse as Cheticamp and Baddeck are
forced to band together to offer a certain level
of hockey, such as the Bantam A Trail Cats
(a combination of Cheticamp Trail Riders and
Baddeck Bobcats). And it’s not out of the realm
of possibilities that someday Inverness County
might have just two operating arenas outside of
Port Hawkesbury.
Taking Inverness town as an example, the
high school team had 18 guys try out, and 18
guys made the team. There is also a Midget A
team in Inverness, which includes some of the
Inverness Academy players, as well as players
from Cape Breton Highlands Academy’s school
team. The Cape Breton West MHA, which
governs the AAA teams in this area, has a Minor
Midget AAA team which draws players from
the Inverness Rebels, Cape Breton Highlands
Huskies, Baddeck Broncos, NDA Acadiens, and
Dalbrae Dragons. If some kids didn’t play both
high school and minor hockey, then these teams
wouldn’t exist.
Our rural kids are active, to say the least.
They play every sport in school, because if they
didn’t, the sport wouldn’t be played. They are
