Our minor hockey came to an end this past weekend with the
Kinsmen Pee Wees ousting Goderich for the Zone 1 Pee Wee "A"
championship.
This was the first year for this type of playoff and now that all
the championships have been finalized I feel the idea has proved very
successful and has helped to improve the hockey played in this area.
The final games between 'Grand B'erid." and GOderich Pee Weei with
Clinton had to be the best team effort of the year. The experience
will show up next year when the boys move up into the next age
group.
Zone champs are "A" Midget, Clinton; "B" Midget, Seaforth;
"A" Bantam, Zurich; "B" Bantam, Mitchell; "A" Pee Wee, Clinton;
"B" Pee Wee, Mitchell; "A" Novice, Mitchell; "B" Novice, Huron
Park.
The clubs in the "A" series were the top four clubs in the league
standings while the "B" series was for the teams in the lower section
of the Zone standings.
With the upcoming Stanley Cup series don't forget to purchase a
chance on the $700 that the Kinsmen Club will be %lying away for
the lucky winners who hold the winning or deciding goal time.
Proceeds from the draw will go toward the new ball lights which will
be erected this spring.
Manager Len Fawcett of the Intermediate Baseball Club has held
several team meetings to plan the upcoming year. A financial drive
for funds to operate this season will be held over the next two weeks
with their annual stag night being held this year on Friday, April 23,
at the Community Centre, Tickets are $2.00 each which includes a
chance on a big prize.

I would like to use this opportunity to thank publicly all the help
that we the hockey coaches and managers have received this season
from the parents. and the boys. I mentioned last week the great
feeling of satisfaction that I personally enjoyed on the final night of
the Kin minor program when so many people came out to support
the kids.
Again this weekend the same thing happened in the Pee Wee
playoffs. The Seaforth arena management just couldn't believe the
support you people gave to the kids in the final game which was
played in Seaforth. These are the little things that make the many
hours of organizing and coaching worthwhile.
I will be taking a break this summer from the baseball scene so
tny column will disappear until next hockey season.
