Real, inspira­ tion for the Irish Six, which re­ minds us--.they have a hockey dance coming up this Thursday might. . . 1 o Yours truly attended the* an­ nual meeting of the Recreation Directors’ Federation of Ontario, at the Y.M.C.A. in London~this past weekend. Had a chat with Len Gaudette, well known to Lu­ can and district as a hockey player and arena manager. Len is now in Aylmer. He has prom­ ised to bring a team of old Lu­ can hockey players, now play­ ing elsewhere, to Lucan for a pre-season game with, the “Irish Six.” The proceeds of this game will go for minor sports. This should prove to be a real at­ traction in getting hockey off to a good start for 1956-57. The local response to the or­ ganization ’ of various recreation activities has been excellent. I sincerely, hope that it will con­ tinue. On September 10, the B6ys Club was organized at a meeting in the committee room of the arena.
