"At this age, some of these guys are reaching
into their own pockets for this and we want to
help them with that," he said.
Gunter said they're always proud to have Paul
Henderson in attendance and to receive kind
words from him about the level of hockey that
takes place. He added Henderson shared stories
about how juvenile impacted his professional
hockey career, after he was discovered as a midget
playing juvenile during a game in Goderich as a
teen.
"He scored 18 goals that night and the scouts
wanted to know who that kid from Lucknow was,
said Gunter.
Henderson often autographs items for the Most
Valuable Player of each game and added it's hard
to impress 18 -20 -year-olds, but his star -power
helps.
Gunter said he event survives through the help
of a committee of 19 people, of which 17 have
been with it since the beginning. Over 100 busi-
nesses sponsor the event each year, with Mont-
gomery Ford taking the lead sponsorship.
