What does it take to qualify as a
participant in the Olympic games?
Talent, of course, but talent alone
will get you nowhere - it takes
dedication, sacrifice, hard = work,
family support and much more.
The one person, who can best tell
you that is Marge Garinger of
Harveys Lake and those fortunate
to attend the First Dallas Post
Appreciation Banquet on Thursday,
May 2, at the Idetown Fire Hall,
will have the opportunity to hear
Mrs. Garinger speak on her experi-
ence as manager of America’s
National Women’s Hockey Team-the
team who won the bronze medal in
Los Angeles last year.
Mrs. Garinger, wife of R. Arnold
Garinger, is well known through
high school and college circles for
her officiating in hockey games. She
moved to Harveys Lake from Sub-
urban Philadelphia in 1969, at a
time ‘when the local area did not
even have a board of hockey offi-
cials, just a few basketball officials
who picked up a hockey rule book
occasionally.
Title IX did a great deal for the
girls sports, said Marge Garinger.
Wyoming Valley was a tough area
and it took a lot to get hockey off
the ground. Geographically it is a
great area for Marge for officiating
at the college level. There are the
local colleges, Bucknell, Colgate
and Penn State University, all
within close driving distance. She
has seen kids she knew in school
become coaches.
“The games and rules have
changed drastically’, said Marge.
“In international play, the sport is
played only on astro-turf. Trenton
versity of Pennsylvania, Temple,
and Springfield have the astro-turf.
I’m surprised that Penn State does
not; “the team practices on astro-
turf but it doesn’t play on it.”
Marge has three daughters,
Tracy, Wendy and Amy, all of
whom played field hockey and were
fortunate enough to go to states.
‘Marge said that the local schools
have finally caught up to the rest of
the ‘schools in the state. She indi-
Jill Radzinski, two outstanding
palyers, the first from Crestwood,
the latter from Dallas.
“I enjoy officiating because I
know I have something to contrib-
ute,” said Marge.
Marge Garinger started with the
national team in the spring of 1979
as manager. She said it was excit-
ing in the beginning and did nothing
but improve. In the spring of ’79,
the team played in three tourna-
ments, one of them “in Ireland and
the first they ever won. n
After the 1980 boycott of the
Olympic Games, Marge had to
commit herself to staying with the
accrued daily!
team. Officials wanted nothing to
change which might have a harmful
effect on the team. A
It was a difficult commitment to
make for Marge because of her
family, but she had their full sup-
port. Her husband and her children
encouraged her to continue with the
team even though they realized they
would have to sacrifice a great deal.
Marge’s conviction that she could
contribute to the team’s program
kept her going. The entire structure
was like a puzzle - every piece had
to fit perfectly.
Each year the American team
took two major international tours
and in 1984, the team went from
February till August. They went out
to Los Angeles early and went to the
north to play some of the men’s
clubs on the West Coast. They had
to be certain they played on the
super-turf.
They were using E. Los Angeles
College turf but in June had to move
because the turf was going to be
made ready for some of the games.
The team was moved to Berkley
College and while there they were
contacted by the San Francisco
49ers, who offered their turf to the
American team.
Marge said the Olympics was a
great experience for all of the
American athletes. They were all
it was fun to get to know everyone.
The. most difficult thing was to
adjust to the security-men with
rifles on the roof, at the gates and,
heaven forbid, if one lost-his or her
I.D. card.
“We were the first team in the
Olympic Village,” said Marge. “At
the first changing of the guards, one
of the kids asked one guard, ‘Are

you a member of the rifle team?”
He never blinked an eye.”
Security was everywhere, Marge
said, and they searched bags,
checked identifications but it paid
off in the end.
She said the food was extraordi-
nary, all kinds and plenty of it and
it- was amazing at the amount of
steak eaten by the Orientals.
Although the 1984 games were in
the second highest smog area in the
United States, Marge said it was as
though smog took a vacation during
the Olympics.
“I believe our biggest challenge is
maintaining the United States
team’s international standing but an
even greater challenge is at the
grass roots. A true athlete has to
look at international competition
and the hardest thing for the athlete
is to peak at the right time,” said
Marge.
When Marge was a student at
Ursinus College, therewere no
national champs but with the inter-
national American olympic hockey
team she gained a lot. The team
traveled all over Europe and Maly-
asia, Australia, New Zealand, Hong
Kong and Singapore.
“1 give my children some of the
credit for me giving my time to the
American team,” said Marge.
“Without them, I don’t know if
Arnie (my husband) could be as
supportive as he was. They were the
ones who covered and cared for the
animals and such responsibilities.”
Marge has a wide background of
hockey experience. She played in
junior high while at Upper Darby,
and used to go to school at 7:30 a.m.
to play in the intra-murals. She
played in high school and at Ursinus
College. In her junior year she

made a national team and went on a
summer tour of Australia, New
Zealand, Fiji Islands and Hawaii
from May through August.
Now for the first time since 1979,
she can look forward to a summer
at Onawandah, camping grounds
owned by the Garingers, although
she has to make a decision whether
or not she will officate international
Lacrosse.
