HOCKEY SEASON
GETTING CLOSE
With the members of the hockey
club already taking active training
and with National Hockey league now
under way, one’s mind turns with
more serious though to this year’s
team. The boys are taking the game
in a heads-up manner working out at
the Arena and should be in great
shape when ice is ready for use.
The team looks good to us. There1
is Bill Hyslop for goal; Ted English
and Bruce Small for defence. Last
year forwards who will be on the job
are Len Nichol, H.- (Bonny) Foster,.
George'Johnson, Dan Proctor. Frank
Cordick and Sailor Johnson, stars of
last year’s good Paisley club with
Greer and Fisher of Lucknow, also
Ken Johnson and Jim Hamilton should
round out a swell club for the fans.
Teams that will play intermediate
O. H. A. this season for sure in this
district are: Wingham, Walkerton,,
Hanover, Seaforth, Clinton and Kin
cardine may also be in there. It is too
early to know who we will line up
with but a fine grouping should be
made from that list.- -By the time en
tries close, other clubs may enter,
Goderich is spoken of in this regard.
