Terrace’s donation to
the National Hockey
League is enjoying his
stay in the majors and
has high hopes he’ll re-
main there, and not be
sent back to Portland
Winterhawks for an-
other year of junior
hockey.

Defenceman Jeff
Sharples, son of Cliff
and Irene Sharples of.
our fair city, is one of
eight rearguards current-
ly on the Detroit Red
Wings’ roster. With this
abundance of blueliners,
19-year-old Jeff is not
dressing for every game
because only six suit up
for each outing.

Jeff had played three
games as of last Friday.
Statistic-wise, he has
garnered one assist and
spent two minutes in the
penalty box.

“I'm getting my share
of ice time in the games
where I’ve dressed, so I
can’t complain about

idleness,”’ he told us
prior to last Friday’s
game_against St. Louis.
His point and penalty
came against Calgary
Flames on Oct. 18. For-

tunately for Jeff’s family’

and friends, that game
was carried on Hockey
Night in Canada and we
saw him collect his first
big league stats.

Jeff told us that the
Wings will likely ship out
a couple of defencemen
very soon. He is in the
position of having to go
back to junior — he
can’t be sent down to the
lower pro leagues like the
American of Interna-
tional leagues.

“Pm not sure, but I
think they can keep me
for 10 games and still
ship me back to Port-
land,’? he said. ‘‘After
10 they have to keep me,
and with a season up
here the chances of going
back to junior for an
over-age year are prac-

tically zero for next
season.”’ .

After several years
playing minor hockey
away from home, Jeff
says he’s not homesick.
**However, Steve (his
apartment-sharing fel-
low Red Wing, forward
Steve Chiasson) and I
aren’t the greatest cooks
in the world. It sure
would be nice to have
Mom around to take
care of the cooking
angle.”’

As for Detroit — “‘It’s
not like walking down
the streets of Terrace.
We don’t live in the best
district by any means
and there are several
areas close by that we
avoid completely.”’

The six-foot, 187-
pounder, played all his
minor hockey in Terrace
and was an outstanding
member of Terrace
teams that won Peewee,
Bantam and Midget pro-
