Pro-Rack Proves Valuable As Sports Equipment Saver
“If you have children playing hockey “PRO-RACK” is for them and for you” says Bill de Villers. How many times has your son left behind an important piece of sports equipment, such as a skate or a shin pad and only to find out in the dressing room, moments before a game, that he forgot it at home. Also, how many times has he been told by his parents to clean up his room strewn with sports equipment. Parents are aware that sports equipment of all types will deteriorate due to mildew bacteria if not properly ventilated after a sports activity. It is particularly important today, with the rising cost of sports equipment to prolong its use. “PRO-RACK” is intended to make kids more responsible for their equipment and save their…

BOBBY CLARKE: HEART AND SOUL OF THE FLYERS
PHILADELPHIA— How to feel humble in one easy lesson? Try writing what Robert Earle Clarke means to the Philadelphia Flyers. Ah, outsiders will say, you’ve known the guy for his nine brilliant seasons in Philadelphia. They’ll say if you don’t know him by now, you haven’t been paying attention. Paying attention is One thing—understanding the Clarke mystique is another. Hockey writers see Clarke and his teammates at practices, after games, on planes and in hotels—and, most of all, on the ice during games. However, we aren’t permitted to eavesdrop in the dressing rooms before games or between periods. It’s during these private moments, one suspects, that Clarke often has the most influence on his teammates. Ever since Clarke won his first of three Hart Trophies we have heard about his leadership and inspiration. The public…
