The RECORD—Thursday, October 25, 1990—B.'i Ralf Bushenbaum: Mansonville man lives for hockey RALF BUSHENBAUM 1989 Bushenbaum's business card.By Bruce Macfarlane MANSONVILLE — Not many people would expect a chicken farmer and financial consultant to be a real hockey buff.Inside the doors of Ralf Bushenbaum's two-story home, atop of Traver Road Hill, is his own hockey hall of fame.Bushenbaum.known to many as ‘The Bush’, lives for the game of hockey.Every week night.'The Bush' is involved with hockey in one form of another.Hockey pools, old timers hockey, teachers hockey league, Clairol hockey league, statistics, watching a game on the tube, are all apart of Bushenbaum's life.Just how much of hockey is a part of his life?Ralf Bushenbaum's business card is a hockey card.‘The Bush' is pictured in his goaltenders equipment with his own old timers team jersey — Bushy’s Birds.Bushenbaum grew up in Quebec City playing organized hockey and watching the National Hockey League's original six on the television.“During the 50’s and 60’s I was always in front of the set." Bushenbaum said.CHILDHOOD IDOL He remembers watching his idol Gordie Howe skate around the ice in a Detroit Red Wings uniform.Like most youngsters ‘The Bush' started playing hockey in a city district organization.He ended up slapping on the pads and playing goalie in his bantam and pee wee days.“I was a little too small and a little too slow to play out of nets." he said.Bushenbaum continued to play nets through his days of university.While attending Wayne State university in Detroit and later moving on to Concordia.Bushenbaum played intramural hockey.In 1966.Bushenbaum’s intramural team team won the championship at Concordia.Back in those days, hockey was a high calibre sport in the intramural system “Players who played junior hockey had to sit out a year before playing varsity hockey," he said.During their one-year siesta.former junior players attending universities would plav intramurals.The likes of NHLers Bob Berry and many more played in the intramural system before moving on.MOVED TO TOWNSHIPS After his days of university.Bushenbaum moved to the Townships in 1974.Three years later.The Bush' purchased his 50-acre farm in Mansonville and set up RB Financial Services.“We do bookkeeping, income tax, small business consulting here," he said pointing to his office in his home.Balancing books, filling out income taxes for clients and travelling through the Townships and to Montreal to visit clients hasn't stopped Bushenbaum from playing hockey.Last year at the age of 44.Bushenbaum played 92 games.His record in the nets was 51-33-8 for a 5.68 goals against average.During the 1988-89 season, ‘The Bush’ played 100 games.His hectic hockey schedule consists of playing on four teams, including his own Bushy’s Birds, and playing tournaments on weekends.A typical week of hockey for Bushenbaum is old timers on Mondays, media hockey league in Montreal on Thursday mornings, Massey Vanier teachers Thursday nights and Clairol Hockey League on Friday not to mention the weekend tournaments.100 GAME SEASON In spite of playing close to 100 games a season, Bushenbaum has been lucky not to sustain any injuries while playing in between the pipers.“I’ve been very fortunate, maybe because I’m wiry in nets,” he said.“I’m well protected.” he said.“As you get older you have more money to invest in more equipment.” Bushenbaum missed only one week of hockey when he pulled a stomach muscle.‘The Bush’ didn’t have to look far for a replacement during his week long sabbatical from hockey.He sent his son Jethro to fill in.Like his father Jethro plays goals.Last year, the younger Bushenbaum played for the Massey Vanier High School Vikings.He recorded a perfect 12-0 record with an average of 1.83.If his dad isn't on the ice, one can find him tucked away involved his three hockey pools checking out his players.“You follow your men,” he said referring to his personal statistics book.“The amount of time doesn’t justify you earnings." he said.“When you’re watching a game you're always pulling for your guys, it makes the season interesting.” BIG BUSINESS Hockey pools are big business.Updated faxs spill off Bushenbaum’s fax machine every week § with latest standings, statistics | and earnings.“I’m ahead in the pools, one year i I won $2000 in the High Rollers f (Montreal Media pool).’’ he said.1 Last year during the NHLi playoffs, there was a vacany in one “ of the pools.Like father, like son, Jethro decided to get involved in the action.Bushenbaum gave his son $50 for the entry fee into the pool.After the playoffs and the Stanley Cup were completed.Ralf lost while Jethro won $900.Needless to say, Jethro paid back his $50 without twitching an eyebrow.“We kept in the family,” laughed Bushenbaum.Whenever ‘The Bush’ finds time to select or draft’ his players he finds it hard to drift away from his number one NHL team, the Hartford Whalers.“Even though I’m a Hartford Whalers fan.I pick the next best candidate." he said.Last year, he selected 13 Hartford players in his three pools.Bushenbaum can’t drift away from hockey.Within the confines of his home, reminders of hockey are everywhere.Two sets of goal-tending equipment clutter the entranceway.Photos, trophies, letters, hats, jerseys can be found everv where.WALL OF FAME One prized possesion he treasures is the photo located above the light switch leading up along his Wall of Fame’.Lying majestically on the wall is a photo of Gordie Howe and Ralf Bushenbaum from the days of October 1984 when The Bush' participated in the “Reach for the Stars.A Hockey Fantasy Come True.” Six years ago, Bushenbaum drove down to Lake Placid and played with his idol and other former NHLers.Bill Gadsby, Johnny Bower, Wayne Cashman.Johnny McKenzie, Dennis Hull, Pat Stapleton, Pit Martin were just a few of the old timers that participated in the week long fantasy camp.Bushenbaum ate, drank and played hockey with his childhood idols.“It was a full week in a first class hotel, you get to mingle with the players,” he said.It was a dream come true for Bushenbaum.His team, the Red Wings, won the Reach For The Stars Stanley Cup championship.Bushenbaum skated around the ice with the Stanley Cup with his new friend Gordie Howe beside him.Six years later.Bushenbaum still hears from Howe now and then.Every Christmas, Bushenbaum receives a Christmas card from Howe.One year both Ralf and Jethro attended a Hartford Whalers game courtesy of Gordie Howe's invitation.If one continues upstairs along the "Wall of Fame" one discovers Bushenbaum's hideout.SPORTS WORLD Besides the spectacular view of Jay Peak and Mont Sutton out his bedroom windows, is his master control centre.Magazines, television listing and every possible statistics book can be found beside his television's remote control.His remote links up the world of sports.Bushenbaum has a sattelite dish connecting him with every possible sports channel.Madison Square Garden and Sports Channel America are his favorites."You get seven hockey teams being televised," he said.“Ocassio-naily.if my favorite team is on and I’m out playing hockey, I’ll tape a game " When The Bush’ isn't involved in hockey, one might find him riding his Harley Davidosn or his 1961 convertible Corvette.Between raising his chickens and balancing his books.Manson-ville’s Ralf Bushenbaum will always be a hockey nut.maæt&ÉmÈut.Chicken farmer and financier Ralf Bushenbaum lives and breathes hockey B4—The RECORD—Thursday, October 25, 1990 Health services Bromont gets new medical clinic By Sharon
