The WHL, Part 3: Bruins' dynasty ends, franchises on the move and more mayhem . . .
At some point in the late 1990s, while I was the sports editor at the Regina Leader-Post, I put together a brief history of the Western Hockey League. I had pretty much forgotten about it until recently when I was asked if I might post it again. So I am doing just that. . . . As you read each piece, please remember that I wrote them more than 20 years ago and they cover only the league's first 25 years. It isn't an all-encompassing history, but hits on some of the highlights and a few lowlights. . . . The stories are pretty much as originally written. . . . Here is Part 3. . . .
The mid-1970s belonged to the Ernie McLean-coached New Westminster Bruins. They were the Western Canada Hockey League's most-dominant team.
If you didn't believe that, well, they would convince you of it. And they'd do that any way they felt like it.

The Bruins ran their string of WCHL titles to four, and won the Memorial Cup the last two seasons, in 1976-77 and 1977-78. But by the time the 1980-81 season ended, the bloom was off the rose in New Westminster. Little did anyone know that it never would return.
Prior to the start of the 1976-77 season, the WCHL instituted a rule calling for an automatic game misconduct to any player who initiated a fight. Ironically, the first player stung was Brandon Wheat Kings starry centre Bill Derlago. He got the heave-ho after starting a scrap with Brian Schnitzler of the Saskatoon Blades in a season-opening 3-0 Brandon victory.
Two coaches felt WCHL president Ed Chynoweth's wrath on Nov. 2. Ivan Prediger of the Kamloops Chiefs was suspended for 20 games, while Ken Hodge of the Portland Winter Hawks got 10 games. Prediger apparently struck Hodge during an altercation between the benches on Oct. 24.
There was joy in Regina on Jan. 27 when the Pats scored a 3-2 victory over visiting Portland. It ended a 36- game Regina winless streak that covered 96 days. "I hope the players don't become satisfied with the win," said Lorne Davis, who had taken over as GM/head coach from Del Wilson and Bob Turner with the Pats at 2-32-5.
A nine-hour meeting in Calgary resulted in a new playoff format. Under the original format, the Flin Flon Bombers, third in the East, were 20 points ahead of Regina and all but had a playoff spot locked up. Suddenly, there was a new format and the Bombers were fighting for a spot. Oh yes, they were also on a 15-game West Coast road trip.
"In this league, you need two pieces of equipment," said Flin Flon boss Mickey Keating. "You need a face-guard when you play some of the teams on the ice and a back protector for the committee room. I had inklings that there may be changes in the playoffs but I had confidence there were intelligent hockey men in this league. I was shown different."
In Portland, the Winter Hawks were beginning to carve out a niche, which resulted in this March 1 comment from GM Brian Shaw: "We're selling the all-American boy image. Our players are all properly dressed in public. They all have respectable hair lengths. We feel image is important. Our players have become our outstanding selling point, and they have actually played much better because of the great acceptance which now is blossoming in Portland."
In mid-April, Kamloops majority owner Ephram Steinke admitted the franchise would likely move to Spokane over the summer. The reasons? Steinke blamed almost $500,000 in losses over four years, and the city's refusal to construct a new arena.

On May 12, the Calgary Centennials signed Bob Strumm as general manager. One of Strumm's first moves was to confirm that a move to Billings was being contemplated.
Strumm, who had been Chynoweth's executive assistant, was, at 29, the WCHL's youngest GM. He would be one of the league's most-prominent figures through the mid-1980s.
The Calgary move became official on May 19. Eleven days later, Kamloops moved to Seattle and became the Breakers under new owner John Hamilton.
On July 19, at the annual meeting in Calgary, the transfer of the Winnipeg Monarchs to Calgary was approved. Del Wilson, president and governor of the Pats, was named chairman of the board, replacing Bill Burton.
When Winnipeg moved to Calgary and became the Wranglers, owner Gerry Brisson named Doug Barkley as GM. The coach? It was Brisson. Would the GM be able to fire the owner/coach.
The 1977-78 regular season hadn't even started when McLean was in trouble. It stemmed from an exhibition game against the host Victoria Cougars when midway in the second period he ventured into the stands to tangle with a fan who was taunting him. For his troubles, McLean got a gash on his forehead and, later, a $250 fine. This would serve as an omen.
A fierce rivalry was building between Regina and the Brandon Wheat Kings. After one early-season game, Davis had this to say: "If (Dave) Semenko would have been close enough to the box I would have swung at him . . . he came over by our bench trying to intimidate us." To which Brandon coach Dunc McCallum responded: "How can a 220-pound man be held back by a stick boy?"
A few days later, Semenko joined the WHA's Edmonton Oilers. A couple of years later, Davis joined the Oilers as a scout.
BILL DERLAGO
Derlago, perhaps the best pure offensive talent this league has seen, had a 40-game point streak end on Nov. 9 when he left a game with a thigh injury during his first shift. One month later, he blew out a knee in an exhibition game against the Moscow Selects. Had Derlago not been hurt, who knows what kind of numbers he would have put up? When he was injured, he had 48 goals and 80 points in 26 games. He was on pace for 133 goals, three more than the then-CMJHL record of 130 held by Guy Lafleur.
On Feb. 3, Jack McLeod resigned as coach of the Saskatoon Blades. He stayed on as GM, but put Garry Peters behind the bench. In Calgary, Barkley, the GM, took over as coach from Brisson, the owner.
More bad ink, and lots of it, in early February when McLean was slapped with a 25-game suspension for allegedly hitting an official. He returned for the playoffs.
"Our league has long been accused of protecting either our coaches or, more particularly, owner/coaches, but there is no way one coach or one franchise is bigger than the league," Chynoweth said. "I can live with the so-called violence on ice, as projected by the media, but when it comes to our officials, qualified or unqualified, I look at things much differently."
More bad ink in the first round of the playoffs. Yes, it emerged from a round-robin series. This one featured Brandon, Flin Flon and Regina in a double home-and-home series. When it got to the final game, Flin Flon at Regina, the Pats had to beat the Bombers by at least six goals to eliminate Brandon and set up a Regina-Flin Flon division final. Regina won 10-4 and the high-powered Wheat Kings, led by the likes of Derlago, Brian Propp, Laurie Boschman and Ray Allison, were done like so much burnt toast.
"For us to say anything is stupid. You saw what happened," Flin Flon defenceman Ray Markham said after the game.
Ultimately, Flin Flon, New Westminster and Billings advanced to the WCHL's round-robin semi-final to eliminate one team and put the other two in the championship final. Out went Flin Flon. New Westminster then swept Billings in the final. It was the Bruins' fourth straight WCHL title and they would win their second consecutive Memorial Cup.
The Bruins, a power for oh, so long, would rarely be heard from in a positive light again.
On May 22, Flin Flon governor Gord Mitchell revealed that the community-owned team would cease operations. "I hate to see it go," Mitchell said. "It's certainly not the fault of the league. The league's not kicking us out. But there comes a time when something like this seems to be the most reasonable thing to do. We're a small centre and it got to the point where the league had outgrown us."
A week later, Chynoweth, who had threatened to resign, announced he would remain as president, thanks to a promise from the governors that an executive assistant would be provided to help with such things as discipline. Wilson, the part-owner of the Pats, filled the bill as vice-president and referee-in-chief. Shaw replaced Wilson as chairman of the board.
On June 1, Gregg Pilling was named GM/coach in Regina, replacing Davis who, in a surprise move, was fired. Davis professed sadness, saying he had worked awfully hard and that all of that work would bear fruit in two years. Which is exactly what happened — two years later the Pats were in the Memorial Cup. But Pilling was gone by that point.
It was during the summer of 1978 when Chynoweth began talking of an education program. On July 4, he announced a program whereby teams would provide a year's tuition and books at a recognized post-secondary institution for every season a player was in the league.
On Aug. 16, Chynoweth announced an Edmonton group headed by Bill Hunter had purchased the Flin Flon franchise from the league. Hunter would be president and governor, Vic Mah would be first vice-president.
The 1978-79 season began with news of a name change and ended with a new champion for the first time since the spring of '74.
With three of 12 teams situated in the U.S., the WCHL was no more. Now it was the Western Hockey League.
GREGG PILLING
The goofiness started on Oct. 22 when Pilling went into the penalty box at the start of the third period of a game in Calgary. He said he would serve a bench minor handed him for delay of game at the end of the second period in what would be an 8-1 loss. Pilling also alternated goaltenders Jeff Lastiwka and Gregg Dumba every shift change after a brawl at 2:52 of the second. Changing goalies ended 30 seconds into the third period when, with the faceoff outside Regina's blueline, Dumba lined up behind his net. He was given a gross misconduct.
Chynoweth, who fined Pilling $1,000, said: "I thought it was a circus. I wouldn't blame anybody if they didn't go back."
This was to be the season of McCallum's Wheat Kings. That much was evident when Brandon ran its two-season unbeaten streak to a WHL-record 49 games and its single-season streak to 29 games. Brandon finally lost, going down 9-4 in Edmonton on Dec. 13 with the Oil Kings scoring all nine goals with the man advantage.
There was more news from Brandon on Jan. 11 when GM Jack Brockest, one of the WHL's most likeable people, bought the team.
If any team could match Brandon it was Portland. The Winter Hawks had a 19-game unbeaten streak ended when visiting Brandon won 7-4 to go to 42-3-7.
In mid-March, rumours had the Edmonton franchise, which was averaging about 500 fans a game, moving to Great Falls, Montana, or Red Deer.
Things got ugly on March 22 in New Westminster when an incident involving the Bruins and Portland resulted in McLean's being suspended indefinitely and seven of his players being charged by police. A game-ending brawl broke out, but this one was different because, while the Bruins left their bench, Hodge managed to keep his players under control.
On March 27, Wilson said McLean would not be allowed to coach during the playoffs, nor would he be allowed to communicate with the bench from the press box as he had done during previous suspensions.
McLean apologized for the brawl at a Vancouver press conference: "I have to take the full load, the full responsibility for what happened . . . when I look at it, maybe the game has gone by me. Maybe my coaching style isn't what's needed anymore. I'm an old horse that's been at it for 25 years and it's tough to change your thinking. The game is changing — maybe I haven't changed with it."
On April 4, GM Bill Shinske and McLean announced the Bruins were for sale, for $350,000.
The Winter Hawks got a small measure of revenge, beating the visiting Bruins 5-3 on April 8 to eliminate them from post-season play.
But this sad episode would drag on through the summer.
Meanwhile, Brandon was finishing with a 58-5-9 record, setting or tying 19 records.
The Oil Kings were sold on April 10, with ownership handed over to a Portland group headed by Bob Cooper and Tom Gauthier, who said they would move the franchise to Great Falls. "I guess sports is not my bowl of rice," said Mah, an Edmonton restauranteur. It was Mah's second go-round as an owner in Edmonton, and he wouldn't give up. He would try and try again and again to get another franchise for the Alberta capital.
On April 20, charges of common assault were filed against seven Bruins — J.P. Kelly, Terry Kirkham, Bruce Howes, Rick Amann, Boris Fistric, Rob Roflik and Bill Hobbins. In August, the seven pleaded guilty. Judge James Shaw — no relation to the Portland general manager — granted conditional discharges to all seven, then banned them from league games at any level until Dec. 1. McLean said Shaw was "trying to be the judge who is going to clean up hockey. I'm worried about the affect on the game because the judge's ruling makes a hip-check a criminal offence."
Portland and Brandon ended up in the final, with Brandon winning in six games.
And, on May 28, Chynoweth resigned, effective June 30. This time he would leave, becoming part-owner of the Wranglers. "It's more than 25 per cent and less than 50," said majority-owner Jim Morley.
In late May, Pat Ginnell, who had been with the Lethbridge Broncos, moved north to take over the Medicine Hat Tigers. Mike Sauter would replace him in Lethbridge. Dave King left as coach in Billings to become head coach at the University of Saskatchewan.
The Pats were sold on June 8, with Wilson, Bill Patton, Gord Wicijowski, D.K. MacPherson, Wilf Degelman and Bob Babchuk selling to the Pinders — father Dick and sons Herb, Gerry and Tom. The price was believed to be near $300,000. Strumm was named GM, governor and part-owner.
Strumm later signed Bryan Murray as head coach and one of the great turnarounds in WHL history was under way.
But before that got started, Dave Descent was chosen to run the WHL. In his third season with the Canadian Amateur Wrestling Association at the time, Descent had lots of hockey experience at various levels in the OHA. "This job is an opportunity to get back into hockey, which is my chosen sport, and advance my sporting career," he said.
Regina, which finished 18-47-7 (last in the East, second-worst in the league) in 1978-79, would go 47-24-1 in 1979-80 to win the division.
It was obvious early that the Bruins were going to pay a steep price for the brawl against Portland. They got their first point, after 13 losses, with a 5-5 tie in Great Falls on Oct. 31.
And on Nov. 16 McLean was at it again. And again it involved Portland.
McLean got tangled up with a fan at a game in Portland and was charged with fourth-degree assault. In one of the most ironical situations in WHL history, McLean was in jail until Brian Shaw posted his bail of $525. Charges were later reduced to harassment and it was all cleared up when a civil compromise was signed, ending the criminal case.
In mid-December, Descent's title was changed from executive director to president. And concern was being shown about Great Falls, which was 2-22-1 and hurtin' at the gate. The Americans folded on Dec. 13.
On March 2, McLean threw a 30-gallon garbage can onto the ice to protest the work of referee Ken Wheler during a game against visiting Portland.
The next day, Descent announced his resignation. Said Descent: "Speaking honestly, I've enjoyed my stay and feel it was a positive experience. But for personal reasons I've decided to take a different career path which is something I'm not at liberty to discuss now."
Shaw said a five-man board would run the league, and that McLean would be suspended for three games for throwing the can. Oh yes, McLean was later named acting chairman of the management committee.
On March 24, McLean said he was leaving the Bruins. "I've made up my mind," he said. "I've worn out my welcome. I will not be in New Westminster next year. We built a dynasty here but it's time to move on." All this after the Bruins set a WHL record with 61 losses. It was the first time in 18 seasons that McLean had missed playoffs.
On April 17, Vancouver businessman Nelson Skalbania bought out McLean and Shinske for slightly more than $300,000.
A week later, the WHL announced that Winnipeg would have an expansion team for 1980-81 and that the owners were former Pats star Fran Huck, his law partner Gerald Gunn and Winnipeg businessmen Harry Buekert, Arnold DeFehr and Marsdon Fenwick. Buekert would be GM, with Huck as coach.
On April 27, Regina beat visiting Victoria, 5-4, to win the WHL final, 4-1. The 1980 Memorial Cup, which would be won by the Cornwall Royals, opened in Brandon and closed in Regina.
During the Memorial Cup it became apparent the major juniors were terribly concerned with NHL's practice of drafting 18-year-olds.
Chynoweth said: "I understand the legal problems the NHL has, although I don't sympathize with it . . . at this rate, the pros will be scouting midgets soon."
McLeod remembered the 1979 draft: "Back in June one NHL general manager said there was nothing to worry about, that only seven or eight under-ages would be taken. When they took 58, we were a little disturbed. Once they got into it, they just kept going."
Junior teams were to be paid $50,000 to $65,000 for under-age players who stuck in the NHL.
Some NHL people said they weren't in favour of the 18-year-old draft, either.
"The general managers unanimously fought to the 11th hour to avoid drafting under-ages," said Washington GM Max McNab. "We were going to get caught in a lawsuit. But the NHL is like the government in the eyes of the public here. We're going to get shot at in any decision."
On May 15, the WHL announced that the dormant Great Falls franchise would relocate to Spokane with Cooper remaining as majority owner.
NELSON SKALBANIA
On June 26, Skalbania, already the owner of New Westminster and the NHL's Calgary Flames, bought 50 per cent of the Wranglers. Skalbania explained: "It's a sympathetic thing. I said when we bought the Flames that we'd support junior hockey in Calgary and I can't think of a way we'd be supporting it any more than owning the team. I just hope we don't lose that much money with them."
Pat Shimbashi, a minority owner in Lethbridge, bought the other 50 per cent of the Wranglers from Jim Morley and Chynoweth, which meant that the latter would return as WHL president.

On June 27, Skalbania completed his purchase of the Bruins, buying 100 per cent for $325,000. McLean stayed as GM, while Skalbania's 20-year-old daughter, Rozanda, was named president.
McLean resigned a couple of weeks later and Tracy Pratt was named GM. "I'd like to forget about the big bad Bruins of the past," Pratt said, "and I'd like to think of them as the scrappy Bruins in the future. My concern is putting families back in the building. There was a shade too much violence in past years and many people became very bitter about what happened at Queen's Park Arena."
The league lost its referee-in-chief on Aug. 8 when Wilson announced he would scout for the Montreal Canadiens, a team with which he had long been associated.
The 1980-81 season opened quietly enough, but the silence was shattered on Dec. 1 with a shakeup in Saskatoon. McLeod and coach Lorne Frey ended their association with the Blades. Majority owner Nate Brodsky bought McLeod's share (20 per cent) and named Daryl Lubiniecki GM and coach.
Lubiniecki began shaking things up when, on Jan. 15, he traded one player — centre Rocky Trottier — to Billings for six players — Pat Rabbitt, Dave Brown, Brad Duggan, Dave Chartier, Lyndon Byers and Al Acton.
Fighting was still a concern and on Dec. 17 Chynoweth announced that teams would be fined $2,500 if their players fought before games or between periods. Players who started the fights or were main combatants would get a minimum of five games.
A black cloud continued to follow the Bruins. A labour dispute forced them to play their last 29 games on the road. Their last 13 home games were played in such places as Bellingham, Wash., Kamloops, Trail, Duncan, B.C., and Coleman, Alta. The Bruins set a WHL record by losing 25 in a row and had to give season-ticket holders a refund for the 13 home games that were moved.
There were rumblings out of Swift Current that the locals were interested in a WHL franchise. John Rittinger, president of the SJHL team there, was trying to raise money for the venture. "I can't give you a figure at this time," he said on April 1, "but, personally, I feel there has been insufficient support."
The juniors were beginning to realize they were going to have to live with the 18-year-old draft. Said Chynoweth: "The under-age situation is a problem but also a fact of life. The law of the land says at 18 you can fight for your country, drink and get married. Consequently, they're also eligible to be drafted and play for NHL teams."
The WHL had a new referee-in-chief — Richard Doerksen — and he was in the news in the playoffs after Strumm grabbed him in the press box during a game. Strumm was slapped with a two-game suspension and a $1,000 fine.
Victoria, under coach Jack Shupe, would win the WHL championship in 1980-81. Trailing Calgary 3-1, the Cougars bounced back and wrapped it up on May 1, beating the visiting Wranglers, 4-2, in Game 7.
Singing a song that would become popular in NHL circles in years to come, Calgary coach Doug Sauter explained: "(Goaltender Grant) Fuhr was the difference."

Major news from WCHA schools brings back memories of CMJHL's birth
There was major news in the world of NCAA Division 1 hockey on Friday when seven schools served notice that they are on the verge of taking their hockey programs out of the 10-team WCHA and forming a new conference in time for the 2021-22 season.
Ferris State, Lake Superior State, Michigan Tech and Northern Michigan, all of which are located in Michigan, along with Bemidji State, Bowling Green and Minnesota State/Mankato want out, a move that would leave Alaska-Fairbanks, Alaska-Anchorage and Alabama-Huntsville as the only three schools left in the WCHA.
A statement released by the seven schools reads, in part:
"They are like-minded in their goals and aspirations for the potential new league with a focus on improving regional alignment and the overall student-athlete experience while building natural rivalries within a more compact geographic footprint."
The seven schools, it seems, are tired of travelling to Alabama and Alaska.
As uncomfortable as it sounds, the seven schools would continue play in the WCHA through two more seasons before leaving for a new league.
At the same time, the future of the hockey programs at both Alaska schools has been in question for a few years due to financial issues. Those schools took another hit on Friday when Mike Dunleavy, the governor of Alaska, vetoed $130 million in state support.
Why was this potential move revealed on Friday?
Dr. Morris Kurtz, a former athletic director at St. Cloud, Minn., State, the spokesperson for the seven schools, told Austin Monteith of the Grand Forks Herald that WCHA bylaws call for a 25-month advance warning in situations involving future withdrawal, and that process now has begun.
Monteith's complete story is right here.
All of this brought back memories of something I wrote a while back about the birth of what now is the Western Hockey League. Here it is, in its entirety. . . .
To find the beginning you have to return to June 21, 1966, and the opening day of the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League's annual general meeting.
Oh, there had been a lot of back-room chatter and negotiating prior to that, but it was on June 21 when the doors opened and the sun beat back the shadows.
It happened in Wasagaming, a resort community in Riding Mountain National Park, just north of Brandon.
Prior to then, Canadian teenagers who aspired to play junior hockey didn't have a whole lot of options. What now is considered Junior A was the top rung.
But people like Winnipeg's Ben Hatskin, 'Wild' Bill Hunter of Edmonton, Estevan's Scotty Munro, Moose Jaw's Brian Shaw and Regina's Del Wilson had visions of a Prairie-wide league, centred in larger communities.
A few years later, some of those same men would dream of even bigger things as they became involved in the World Hockey Association and its attempts to sour the NHL's world.
Most of them were larger-than-life characters who were years ahead of their time in terms of marketing. They were entrepreneurs and more. Dick Chubey of the Albertan, then a Calgary-based newspaper, wrote a piece for the league's first Yearbook — for 1973-74 — in which he referred to them as "rogues" and "pirates."
Ernie (Punch) McLean, who later would be the head coach of the New Westminster Bruins, says there wasn't any doubt who were the leaders.
"Bill Hunter, Scotty Munro and Ben Hatskin . . .," McLean, who in those days was with Munro in Estevan, said in a 1990 interview. "Scotty Munro would have the idea on hockey, Bill Hunter would sell it and Ben Hatskin would financially back it. Those were in the days when we had nothing else but Household Finance to get us started the next year.
"It was so much different back then. The guys were friends. We were partners."
Four days prior to the start of the SJHL meeting, word leaked that a new junior league — the Canadian Major Junior Hockey League — was in the works. This league would include Calgary, Edmonton and Winnipeg, along with Brandon, Estevan, Moose Jaw, Regina and Weyburn, the latter five having decided to leave the SJHL.
At the same time, there were issues with the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association and the National Hockey League.
"We were getting very disgusted with the CAHA," McLean recalled. "We weren't getting any help from them and they were taking a percentage off the gates in the playoffs. At that particular time, we weren't getting what we felt was a fair deal from the National Hockey League.
"At that time, the CAHA was bringing in any team that they thought could come into the league. They would apply and we were supposed to look after them. Melville was in, Yorkton was coming in.
"So at Clear Lake . . . it was really funny. In those days, you had to pay your dues or you couldn't vote, you never had a vote. As it happened, (SJHL president) Frank Boucher called the meeting to order. . . ."
When asked, Hunter and Munro said they didn't have cheques. Boucher told both men, "You can't vote."
"It went around the table like that," McLean said. "All of a sudden they said, 'Well, I guess we have no meeting.' And Frank says, 'I guess we haven't.'
"At that point, the guys got up from the table, walked across to another room in the hotel and formed a new league."
It wasn't quite that simple, but that, in effect, was the genesis of what now is the Western Hockey League, even if it meant places like Melville, Flin Flon and Swift Current were left scrambling.
"What the hell," Brandon Wheat Kings coach Eddie Dorohoy said, "if Melville can't afford the opera, they gotta go for the barn dance."
The CMJHL finalized its lineup later that summer. Before then, Melville filed a lawsuit, asking for $250,000 in general damages and $8,800 in special damages. As well, Brandon pulled out, Saskatoon came in, Winnipeg left.
Interestingly, the Saskatoon Blades are the only franchise to have been there since Day 1. In 1966, the Blades were an affiliate of the Los Angeles Blades, a team in the professional WHL that had hoped to become an NHL expansion franchise. When that didn't happen, Saskatoon slid into the CMJHL.
If you are looking for an 'official' date to mark the league's birthday that would be July 15, 1966. That is when the teams met in Regina. Munro moved for the dissolution of the SJHL. The motion passed. A new league was formed, and it announced it would accept applications.
By now, Boucher had left the SJHL and was commissioner of the CMJHL. When the 1966-67 season began, it featured the Calgary Buffaloes, Edmonton Oil Kings, Estevan Bruins, Moose Jaw Canucks, Regina Pats, Saskatoon and the Weyburn Red Wings.
While all of this was going on, the CAHA was refusing to recognize the CMJHL, something that didn't particularly disturb the newcomers.
"We had quite a league," McLean said. "Of course, we were outlaws from the CAHA. We preferred to call it independent."
After Edmonton finished atop the regular-season standings, Moose Jaw won the first playoff championship, the only such title in the city's history. That playoff season included best-of-nine series without overtime. In one semifinal series, Moose Jaw took out Edmonton 3-2 with four ties.
Prior to 1967-68, the league changed its name to the Western Canadian Junior Hockey League. The Buffaloes became the Centennials, and the league, still unrecognized by the CAHA, welcomed Brandon, the Flin Flon Bombers, Swift Current Broncos and Winnipeg Jets.
The Bombers didn't win the championship — Edmonton beat the Bombers, 4-0, with one tie, in the final — but the Flin Flon Flu was born.
"Paddy (Ginnell) went into Flin Flon and turned that franchise right around," McLean said. "He made them a tough, aggressive hockey club. It was worth your life to go in there and play."
How tough?
"We always played Saturday night and Sunday afternoon in Flin Flon. Well, Saturday night, they beat the crap out of Swift Current, just pounded the hell out of them. So they called for a conference call," McLean said of the Broncos, who were coached by Mike Shabaga.
"Mike said, 'Things are so bad, I've got the Red Cross signs on the bus so we can get out of town.'
"Anyway, Mike didn't have enough players to play the game. So it was decided that so it would be fair to both sides, however many Mike could dress, that's all Paddy could dress. Paddy moaned and groaned and the whole thing, and then Mike won the hockey game. Paddy came out of there, he was just livid."
By the time the 1968-69 season arrived, the league — now calling itself the Western Canada Hockey League — was down to eight teams. Moose Jaw, Regina and Weyburn left because of concerns with the outlaw status. As well, the league split into divisions — East and West — for the first time.

F Jamie Crooks (Saskatoon, Chilliwack/Victoria, 2008-13) has signed a one-year contract extension with the Guildford Flames (England, UK Elite). This season, he had 15 goals and 19 assists in 53 games.
@bdnwheatkings are without a GM since severing ties with Grant Armstrong and are believed to be considering ex-Victoria boss Dave Lowry for the post. Contracts of head coach David Anning and assistant Don MacGillivray also expire at end of the month.

There has been speculation involving Dave Lowry and the Brandon Wheat Kings for a couple of weeks now.
The Wheat Kings announced on May 7 that Grant Armstrong's contract wouldn't be renewed after he had spent three seasons there. Armstrong had been the assistant GM with the Victoria Royals before signing with Brandon. Prior to joining the Royals, he had been the Portland Winterhawks' director of scouting.
A source has told Taking Note that Armstrong was in Penticton on Tuesday. It could be that he is a candidate for an opening with the Okanagan Hockey Group, which is looking for a general manager for its academy in Penticton.
Lowry, 54, has ample WHL coaching experience. He has been on staff with the Calgary Hitmen, Calgary Flames, Victoria Royals and Los Angeles Kings.
He was the Royals' head coach for five seasons (2012-17) before leaving to join Los Angeles as an assistant coach. He spent two seasons with the Kings before being dismissed on April 17 after Todd McLellan was hired as head coach.
David Anning has been the Wheat Kings' head coach for three seasons, after spending four seasons as an assistant coach. McGillivray has been on staff as an assistant coach through three seasons.
Kelly McCrimmon, the Wheat Kings' owner, has yet to announce whether the contracts of Anning and McGillivray will be extended.
The CHL import draft is scheduled for June 27 with the WHL's Swift Current Broncos holding the first selection. . . . The complete order of selection for the two-round draft is right here.

The Seattle Thunderbirds have signed D Spencer Penner to a WHL contract. Penner, from Blumenort, Man., was a second-round selection in the 2019 bantam draft. . . . This season, Pennder had 14 goals and 26 assists in 35 games with the bantam AAA Eastman Selects. . . . The Thunderbirds now have signed each of their first three selections from the 2019 bantam draft. D Kevin Korchinski and F Jordan Gustafson, both first-round picks, signed WHL contracts earlier this month.
The Regina Pats have signed F Zane Rowan to a WHL contract. The Pats held three third-round picks in the 2019 bantam draft, and used the first one to take Rowan, who is from Torrance, Calif. . . . Last season, he had 18 goals and 18 assists in 53 games with the Los Angeles Jr. Kings.
Here's some hot news: Matt Savoie will attend camp with USHL Dubuque next week, along with his brother Carter. Matt can't play for the Fighting Saints next year (too young), but the Denver commit could go after that.

Tyson Ramsey is the new general manager and head coach of the MJHL's Virden Oil Capitals. Ramsey, 42, spent seven seasons on the coaching staff of the midget AAA Brandon Wheat Kings, the last four as head coach. He joined the Oil Capitals as an assistant coach prior to this season. . . . Ramsey, who is from Brandon, also has been scouting for the WHL's Moose Jaw Warriors. . . . Ramsey replaces Troy Leslie, whose contract wasn't renewed following the end of this season.

The Lacombe Generals, winners of the 2019 Allan Cup as Canada's senior AAA champions, have folded. The decision, combined with a similar one by the Rosetown Red Wings, has left Allan Cup Hockey West with two remaining teams — the Innisfail Eagles and Stoney Plain Eagles. . . . Ashli Barrett of the Lacombe Globe has more right here.
It was in 1983 when the NHL's St. Louis Blues, then owned by Ralston Purina, were sold to a Saskatoon group headed up by Bill Hunter, one of the WHL's founding fathers. Of course, the whole thing fell apart when the NHL board of governors voted 15-3 against allowing the sale to go through. . . . But the tale of how Hunter worked to pull off the purchase is a great read, and it's all right here from Kevin Mitchell of the Saskatoon StarPhoenix. Enjoy!

This is a guest post by by unitedsol. Not only does it contain important SEO information, but there are other lessons to be learned here as well, including the inclusion of backlinks for specific keyword phrases, and showing you how to get others to create content for you.
A website that is appealing and has nice features could not assure you that it will retain the significant traffic, as long as it is following the proper SEO standards and techniques. The search engine optimization techniques are crucial for any website to grow and acquire a valuable prominent place in search engine rankings.
An SEO technique assists to improve your online presence and makes it easy for search engines to crawl and index. In addition, search engines like Google tend to change their algorithms to ensure that a high-quality website gets an advantage in rankings and a website that is misleading them can be punished. Here we have mentioned web development tips for a high performing SEO friendly website.
Images offer a better understanding of the content and allow a great user experience. For more efficient approach, scale your images properly to reduce the loading timing of a web page and consider compressing the images for reducing the file size. However, make sure the quality of the image should not be harmed and the image retains its impact. First of all the image file name should resonate with the image that is being displayed. For instance, if the image is showing Penguins in snow, the filename for this image shouldn't be like EFA4425.jpg, instead use penguins-in-snow for better and focused perception. Now there are multiple online tools available that will make this job easier for you.
You may have come across a website having cluttered URL that is a blend of letters and numbers, backslashes and underscores, etc. Can you recall that address again? Off course not, as a web developer you need to consider not utilizing that approach. Not only it is inefficient for readers but search engines also have issues ranking it. The ideal implementation of a well-settled URL contains keywords that are relevant to your business. The URL of your web pages should be simplified, precise and representation of your business industry.
Provide a set of keywords to your hired web development company in Pakistan that can be acquired through multiple keyword search tools before the initiation of the web development process. A web developer should be aware of the keywords specific to your industry as they offer a great value and excellent user experience.
As the content that resonates with the search engine rankings criteria get an advantage in the shape of high traffic and increased conversions. Also, do not try to overuse those keywords a lot as a website get penalized through these inefficient approaches of getting user attention. An efficient keyword implementation in Meta tags, descriptions, titles, headers and footers can bring wonders in the form of great user attraction and elevation in rankings.
The structure of your site represents which pages are of high importance and managing it appropriately is one of the major website optimization approaches. The content present on a site is often linked with the content present on other pages of your site or is linked with other sites. If this internal and external linking is handled properly, the structure of your website will get more organized and it will be easy for search engines to crawl your website.
As people like to visit websites more often through mobile devices, the need for a mobile-friendly website has increased. It demands that the CSS for your website should also define the parameters for mobile screen interface and the elements of the website get adjusted accordingly when it is approached through smaller screen devices. With the advent of Google's mobile-first indexing algorithm, the significance of mobile friendly design can't be neglected.
For a powerful SEO strategy, the headings and Meta tags play an important role. They make it easier for readers to read the content. The Headings defines the context of the content so your reader remains stayed on the track.
Meta tags provide information about the web page and work to illuminate the important information on web pages.
The Sitemap contains information about your web pages. Sitemaps assist search engines to crawl information present on web pages of your website. It is like a catalog of web pages that is easily discoverable by search engines. Submitting your sitemaps is a great way of informing them about the importance of the indexable page on your site.
Sometimes a website lacks proper internal link building, which becomes hard for search engine robots to look for it. The sitemap is a convenient way of guiding them to understand your website structure.

Rock Your Baby Lyrics
Woman, take me in your arms
There's nothin' to it
Just say you wanna do it
Open up your heart
And let the lovin' start
Yeah, hold me tight
With all your might
Now let your lovin' flow
Real sweet and slow
C'mon...
Aaaaaaah woman, take me in your arms
Oo, oo, oo
Ah-aaaaaah, yeah
Take me in your arms and rock me
Ah-aaaaaaaaaaaah
About "Rock Your Baby"
"Rock Your Baby" was written by Harry Wayne Casey (aka K.C.) and Richard Finch of K.C. and the Sunshine Band. It was featured on George's album "Rock Your Baby."
The song's backing track was recorded in 45 minutes as a demo featuring K.C. and the Sunshine band guitarist Jerome Smith. Originally, the song wasn't supposed to be intended for George, but he just happened to be in the studio at the time and added a vocal.
"Rock Your Baby" topped the Billboard Hot 100 and Hot Soul Singles chart in July of 1974.
Internationally, the song topped the charts in the United Kingdom, Australia, Belgium, Austria, Canada, Germany, the Netherlands, Italy, New Zealand, Norway, Switzerland and Sweden.
The song inspired a response song called "Rockin' Chair" which was sung by George's then-wife, Gwen McCrae. It topped Billboard's Hot Soul Singles chart in June of 1975.

Racine Raiders: Payne rallies team to miracle finish in MSFL championship game WITH VIDEO
Raiders 21, Marauders 20
Mark Feldmann
Jordan Payne, left, shakes hands with Racine Raiders coach Wilbert Kennedy shortly after the Raiders rallied to edge the Midway Marauders 21-20 Saturday night in the Mid-States Football League championship game at Horlick Field.
PETER JACKEL,
RACINE — His name is Jordan Lorenzo Payne.
By day, he is a sixth grade math teacher at 21st Century Preparatory School in Racine.
By night, he is a superhero.
And what a caper he pulled off for the Racine Raiders Saturday night before an ecstatic crowd of more than 2,000 at Horlick Field.
Playing quarterback in a pinch after Mitchell Farr was injured, the 25-year-old Payne shook off a devastating game-tying safety he was responsible for and then an interception to rally the Raiders. When he was finished, the undefeated Raiders had pulled off a heart-stopping 21-20 victory over the Midway Marauders in the Mid-States Football League championship game.
How did Payne do it? By bursting for a 52-yard kickoff return with 31 seconds left and then throwing a 25-yard touchdown pass to William Norwood in the right corner of the end zone. T.J. Hearn then broke the tie with a tense extra-point kick as the crowd erupted into cheers.
Team president Matt Nelson said following the game that the 13-0 Raiders will accept an invitation to a national tournament, which they most recently won in 2014. He expects to finalize details early this week.
It was Payne who put the Raiders on his back to get them there.
"What can you say about that young man?" said Raiders coach Wilbert Kennedy, his sweatshirt drenched by the Gatorade shower his players had just given him. "He's such a high-character individual and he gives everything he's got all the time.
"He was put into a tough spot against a really good defense with no practice this week because practice got rained out. So that's a lot to ask a guy to come in and play against a team like that without any kind of actual reps."
Payne, a 2012 Park High School graduate who was a two-time All-American wide receiver at Alcorn State, was pressed into duty after Farr suffered a hip injury in the third quarter. The Raiders were clinging to a 14-12 lead at that point in this defensive battle and Payne initially tried to make plays by using his speed on runs to the outside.
The Raiders appeared to be in good shape when cornerback Joski Lymon batted away a pass in the end zone intended for Denzel Whitaker on fourth and goal from the 2 with 5:42 left in the game.
But then things started going wrong for Payne. Terribly wrong.
First, he was responsible for a safety that tied the game at 14-14 when he was whistled for intentional grounding from the end zone with 3:50 left in the game. Following a Raiders free kick, a defense that had been exceptional all night stiffened once again and forced the Marauders to punt.

Payne again made a crucial mistake when he was intercepted, giving the Marauders possession at the Raiders' 10-yard line with 31 seconds left. This time, the Marauders capitalized when Alex Alacron found Whitaker for a touchdown.
Alacron's two-point pass attempt fell incomplete and the Marauders led 20-14 with 27 seconds to play.
A miracle was needed as Payne dropped back to field the kickoff.
"I was determined that I can't be stopped," Payne said. "I let my team down twice and it was time for me to make a play. Nothing was going to get in my way."
Torie Ruffin fielded the kickoff before lateraling the ball to Payne. With a spectacular burst, Payne rocketed down the field before he was brought down at the Marauders' 25-yard line. There were 17 seconds left.
Raiders offensive coordinator Chris Hicks called a "Double Right 93," which entailed Norwood working free in the corner of the end zone. The 34-year-old Norwood, one of the oldest players on the team, did just that and Payne lofted a perfect pass into his hands.
"Jordan said, 'Run to the corner and make it high,' and he dropped back, he threw it high and we won the game!," Norwood said. "Jordan's a great athlete. He reminds me of me because when I played in my early years, I did it all. Jordan's a guy who can do it all."
Credit Payne for having the fortitude to come back with such a daring pass after a pair of confidence-draining lapses.
"I told Will Norwood, 'You've got a corner — just make sure you stick it high,' because I was planning on dropping it somewhere in the back of the end zone to where only he could get it. I knew the corners were playing up. They were trying to sit on our hitches and I knew if I got it over the corner's head, he was going to be able to make a play."
And credit Hicks, who caught Payne's first pass at Park in 2008 when Hicks was a senior receiver, for calling the play.
"For the entire second half, the safeties hadn't moved much outside the hash," Hicks said. "So I was thinking, if I can get the outside guys to do some slants and I can get the inside guys into corners, I believe the corners would be open and he can choose the side.
"All I told Jordan was, 'Hey, you've been playing football your entire life. You believe in yourself because I believe in you. That's why you'res still out here, all right?"
It was the first touchdown pass by Payne since 2012, when he was a freshman quarterback at Alcorn State who would be switched to wide receiver the following season. Prior to that, Payne was a three-year starting quarterback for Park from 2009-11.
The Raiders fell into a hole on the first play of the game, when Timothy Smith intercepted Farr and returned it 16 yards for a touchdown. The two-point conversion pass failed.
But Farr came right back to throw a 47-yard touchdown pass to Troy Collier on the next series to give the Raiders a 7-6 lead.
The Marauders (9-2) responded to that with a 43-yard touchdown pass to Sheldon Little with 8:21 left in the first quarter to take a 12-7 lead.
With 5:13 left in the second quarter, Howard Triplett scored on a 1-yard plunge as the Raiders took a 14-12 lead. That's how it stayed until Payne entered the game, setting up one of the most memorable finishes in Raiders history.
"Payne is a hell of an athlete," Raiders defensive end Anton Graham said. "Honestly, I believe he's the best athlete in this league. What he did showed a lot. Most people would have shut down. J.P. didn't shut down. He came back and made the biggest play after making the biggest loss play.
"That kid is a dog, man. I'm glad he's on our team."

Le Primitif - A Metal Fan..


Fresh footage of The Division was shown at the Microsoft E3 press conference at E3 2014 today. A squad of four players navigated the snowy streets of dilapidated New York, battling what appeared to be NPC enemies on the way to a huge safehouse. Flamethrowers and strobe grenades were involved.
There was more strangely terse patter from the voice actors filling in for ordinary players over voice comms. One made reference to having to "change up our skills" before a fight, implying an on-the-fly perk system of some kind. The phrase "pull aggro" was also dropped, reinforcing the sense of an MMO-esque world. It'll be interesting to discover the precise scale of The Division's zones. It's hard to imagine a DayZ level of scale with that level of environmental detail.
The reference to a safehouse that belonged to one of the characters was also interesting. It sounded like an instanced base location that could be upgraded by players.
It's another good showing for the new Snowdrop engine. The streets were cluttered with detritus, characters gently bumped car doors shut as they threw themselves into cover. We'll probably see more at the Ubisoft conference. Meanwhile, here's that footage.

The Lusthaus is a historic building in Prater park in the Leopoldstadt district of Vienna, Austria.  It is located at the southeastern end of Prater Avenue, near the Freudenau racecourse.

First mentioned in 1560 as Casa Verde, the green summer house served as a hunting lodge in Vienna's Prater, which was then a hunting ground. It was built in 1538, at the location where Prater Avenue met the Danube Canal. The Lusthaus was on the water until 1834, when the Danube Canal was moved.

After the Prater was opened to the public in 1766, the summer house was rebuilt from 1781 to 1783. It served as the location for large celebrations and festivities, such as the imperial celebrations to mark the first anniversary of the Battle of Leipzig, in which Napoleon was defeated.

In the 19th century, the Lusthaus, as well as the entire Prater, was a popular meeting place for the nobility and bourgeoisie. During the First World War, the military bridge guard tasked with protecting the Danube bridge from sabotage was stationed in the summer house.  In the inter-war period marked by economic instability and poverty, the composition of its patrons shifted; the Lusthaus then served as a bar with dance and music. During the Second World War, the Lusthaus was almost completely destroyed by bombings in 1944 and 1945. However, by 1948, a decision was taken to rebuild the building, and the city of Vienna earmarked a sum of 350,000 shillings for its repair. During reconstruction, the building was restored to its 18th-century shape. In October 1949, the Lusthaus was reopened.

Today, the Lusthaus houses a coffeehouse and a restaurant.

Not much has changed in three months. In fact I'm not sure who (if anyone) is even aware I'm doing this - but then, my web serial was equally as obscure when it started. It's also occurred to me I should probably post an actual comment saying that I liked the anime music video, but I'm having the "no insight" problem I blogged about, or maybe paralysis of another sort. Still, we'll see.

Expanding the Extreme: an interview with Giannis K of Dark Vision
For over fifteen years Greek extreme metallers Dark Vision has earned themselves a strong reputation in the metal underground for their expansive death metal sounds. The recent release of their Ingrowth EP shows the band is stronger and more inventive than ever, their melodic death metal sound soaked in blackened overtones and stirring essences of classic metal and rock n roll a compelling encounter which stands out for band and extreme metal. Seizing the offer to find out more about band, its history, and the new release we set about drummer Giannis K with plenty of questions…
Hello Giannis and welcome to the site.
Firstly for those yet to discover your sounds please introduce the band and the entity that is Dark Vision.
Hello! First of all we would like to thank you for the opportunity to speak through your magazine. Dark Vision exists since 1996, we started playing atmospheric/heavy/black metal continuing these days into a straight forward death/black metal. Our influences lately covering many genres such as death/black metal, rock, classic heavy and all these under a rock'n'roll attitude… If someone really needs to put a table about our genre, we can say that band's like Satyricon, Behemoth, Black Sabbath, Voivod, etc. defined our nowadays style.
The band began in 1996, longevity many bands can only dream of. What has kept you inspired and passionate as a band?
The reason that this band started many years ago, was our love in this specific style and also for its subgenre. This made us to continue until now. The magic moment when you creating a song or you are on stage, keeping you vigilance. Another very important reason is that as a band we are not playing as professionals but at the same time we are trying to act as much a professional do. In simple words, when a band is playing for the money there is a certain point that the musician will consider most of the time firstly the profit… In our case as we said because we are not playing for living we have the privilege to play whatever we want in our way.
How has your music and intent as a band evolved over the past 16 or so years?
We have definitely evolved all these years. Apart of the several line-up changes we grow up as personalities, this made us think with more mature in every way from creating music to acting live. With the current line up the band continues the last years a specific way which evolving us.
Dark Vision is a band which has like so many survived numerous line-up changes, how has that impacted on the band generally and do you think and feel certainly for Dark Vision, that this inevitable process actually benefits bands creatively for the main?
Following all these years we can say for sure that all these line-up changes firstly made us stronger and secondly helped the band to evolve as it is today. Of course this doesn't mean that if a band having a standard line-up for years will not evolve, but in our case helped a lot. The only think that we can say was against us in every chance, is the time and the preparation until the band became ready to act again.
You have just released your excellent Ingrowth EP through Bluntface Records though it had its first release as a vinyl exclusive last year for your fifteen year anniversary. How has it been received so far and has this new unleashing from the independent US label brought a deserved energy and awareness to the EP?
Thanks for your good words! Bluntface Records definitely played a very important role in this release. From the very beginning we realized that with Otto from Bluntface Records we can work very smoothly and creatively together. We choose to release "Ingrowth" in vinyl. A part of the 15 years anniversary, it was a dream since the beginning of the band. We strongly believe that vinyl is more complete and at the same time nostalgic than the nowadays cd. The press worldwide hugged this release since the very beginning and we received very flattering words, we are thanking all of you for your support up to now.
How would you say the new release has evolved from and offers predominantly different to previous album Bestial Remedy?
We worked different this time. From creating the songs to the recording process everything was different. We worked at the recording sessions with more live feeling, which means that we didn't use this time metronome, but we played all together in order to be closer to this live feeling.
Definitely! "Bestial Remedy" was the begging of a new era for the band and after all these years we can assure you that "Ingrowth" is a big step beyond for us, not only on the composing side but as an experience in the recording sessions. This time with "Ingrowth" we focused more in the emotional, although our technical skills became better with results on this album. The songs are approaching better death/black forms and all this under a "rock'n'roll" attitude.
There is a great melodic groove and breath to Ingrowth and its blackened death metal stance. Has this aspect naturally emerged or was something you wanted to intentionally explore?
Most of the things that we are doing are coming out naturally … after "Bestial Remedy" it was natural to continue and evolve this style under our way.
How are songs written within the band and what is more often than not the initial spark to an idea and song?
Composition process usually can be with 2 ways, sometimes our guitar player Mark is writing the song and presenting to the rest of the band in our rehearsals, and another way is to start in the studio working all together on an idea.
What are the strongest influences upon your writing musically and lyrically?
Many influences from daily matters up to religion (from a historical point of view), other times songs can describe personal situations or even our darkest thoughts…
Did you have set ideas and vision for songs before recording the EP in the studio or did they change and grow their own different character whilst bringing Ingrowth to life?
Most of the ideas in "Ingrowth" album were conceived in the preproduction. When the recording process started, we preferred to stay more close to technical matters (microphones set up, Amplifiers, etc), of course, in general if any last minute ideas arise and are worthwhile we are willing to try it.
Ingrowth investigates, as your previous releases, the deepest and richest of shadows, is there an underlying theme to the EP?
We were just felt free to do things without second thought. The result is what you are now hearing and we are proud for that.
Is there a particular moment on Ingrowth which leaves the proudest feeling inside and alternatively is there something on the release which you are now inspired to explore further in future songs?
Yes, definitely the rock n roll element affected us regarding our music and emotionally at the same time.
On a recent episode of The Bone Orchard podcast I featured your track Garden of Nuclear Mushrooms. Can you give some back ground to the track?
Thank you for this! Garden … is a song that refers to the Apocalypse from our point of view …
Across the years you have shared stages with the likes of Mayhem, Satyricon, Sodom, Rotting Christ, and Septic Flesh to name a small few, what have been the biggest moment live and any artists you would sell a kidney to play with? 😉
Hahahaha! … Nice question ….. ! Hmm… probably for a special worldwide tour with Satyricon, Rotting Christ, Dimmu Borgir, Behemoth…!
There have been quite a few very impressive metal and rock bands bursting out of Greece in the past couple of years. Is the scene there as vibrant and impressive as it seems from the outside?
Yes! Over the last years lot of bands are doing a good job holding high the Greek flag of our metal scene…
What is next on the agenda for Dark Vision?
Next thing will be a live concert in Athens at 6th of April with other local bands…. Also writing news song at the same time…
Thanks for taking time to talk with us any final thoughts you wish to share?
Thank you! Check our new album "Ingrowth"
Lastly which are the artists to have made the biggest impact on you as musicians?
Daily we hear a lot of things … we are always trying to expand our music influences … of course musicians such as Frost from Satyricon, Inferno from Behemoth, Ihsahn from Emperor, Jon Nodtveidt, John Gallagher, we admire them and their influences guiding us , also lately Kvelertak from Norway is one of the bands that made something fresh in the scene …

Is NPS better than EPF?
If there's one investment option that has received generous tax breaks in the Budget, it is the National Pension System (NPS). In a watershed move, the Finance Minister has also announced that employees in the organised sector will now be able to opt out of contributions to the Employees Provident Fund (EPF) and invest in the NPS instead. So, if given this choice, what should you do? Here's how they compare.
EPF contributions are mandatory for employees earning up to Rs. 15,000 a month in the organized sector. Many employers however insist on EPF contributions for all their employees. The contribution is pegged at 12 per cent of your pay (basic plus dearness allowance). Your statutory EPF contributions are matched by your employer. If you are an employee who usually struggles to save, the EPF is a good option for you as it forces you to save at least 12 per cent of your pay.
