Arena Activities By HAROLD RIBSON Hockey in Lucan is at its best. Sorry I can't say the same for the fan interest, Just what has happened to the Lucan fan and his support of the home team? The old crutch, .regarding im- ports, should be left strictly for the folks down Ilderton way and the birds. Did you know that our Lucan Leprechauns', more commonly known as pee-wees, are a ter- rific little 'team?—only one loss and one tie in their total of six games, Last Friday iii Ilderton, they kinked the "Kitten's" tail, to the tune of 9-1. It'll take a strong team to defeat these little `go-getters'. The bantams are holding their own, with a .500 average and each time out shows distinct im- provement, Another team worthy of men- tion is the midgets, leading the South Middlesex midget league and playing every Monday night at 7.30 p.m. They have also won their two league games in the WOAA league. They look and play like champions. Players on all three teams are local boys. You know them and have watched them grow up in Lucan. How about giving them some real encouragement with your support? The junior team works out every Sunday night at 7.30 p.m. All boys under 20 years of age in the district, are welcome. For further informa- tion, 'contact either Don Hodgins or yours truly. Lucan's lament, "What's the matter with the Irish Six?, pro- vokes a similar reply, "What's the matter with the fan?" There is probably much of your an- swer. Certainly, there is little incentive for drive when playing to row upon row of empty seats. Don't you think a better attend- ance would stir up a little more enthusiasm •and heart in the players? This week, I would like to doff the tam to Don Fletcher, who is the real 'spark-plug' of the Irish Six. And also, Don Lan- kin, leading scorer for the mid- gets as well as Big Bill Neil, who scored seven goals for the Leprechauns, at Ilderton. By the way, to the ladies down Ilderton way, I can ,only repeat that, "I write only 'what I Con- sider to be fact—and let the chips fall where they may." Friday night, January 25, Zur- ich Midgets play Lucan at 7 o'clock in a WOAA game, fol- lowed by Zurich Flyers vs. Lu- can Irish at 8.30. Last oThursday, the art class had its initial instruction and will continue to meet weekly at 7.30 for a twelve-week course. The keep fit class got under way Monday evening, January 21. There is still time to enroll for either of these programs should you be interested in participat- ing.
