We had att interesting chat with LEN GAUD-
ET'rE down, in AYLMER over the weekend. LEN, a
'well known sports figure :around these parts, especial -
17 to the Lucan f.*nS when he wore the IRISH SIX
UNIFORM, is the arenaMtanager forthe town of
Aylmer.
Alwaysa itee,n hockey enthusiast, GAUDETTE
has been doing a little thinking on 'the hockey picture
for next season.
It seems that .he would like to have a strong
get
INTERMEDIATE, LEAGUE back into operation.
In forming this, he would like to see EXETER,
STRATHROY, AYLMER and TILLSONBURG as four
sure starters with. perhaps the addition of other cl4bs
like L 'CAN and GODERUCU.
To this corner, we doubtt very much if Goderich
would do all that 'travelling just to 'play an Intermed-
iate brand of hockey and with Strathroy Rockets now
sitting in the Senior "B" finals: you wouldn't be able
to lure them away from that league if you offered
them JeanBeltveau. It's a cinch no matter what
league a team has entered into, a lot of travelling is
involved. So why not enter the best class of teairt
the town can afford; such as possibly a Senior "B"
entry..
By the way, manager Len Gaudette sends word
along to all his -friends in Lucan and surrounding
district.that ED ROWETTE, another IRISH stalwart,
.
is now W -O -R -K -I -'N -G steadily in •a lumber mill in
KAPASKASING, Ontario. Apparently Len stt�•bmitted
Ed's name to them and he landed the job.
ROWETTE is playing for the KAPASKASING ..
HUSKIES in a so-called Senior "A" league up there
but Edward clasaes it actually it the Senior "B"
category down South.
We were eye witnesses at AYLMER'S first an-
nual BANTAM TOBACCO BELT TOURNAMENT 'in
Which our All-Star Bantams took part The local kids
whitewashed LAMBETH 11-0 but the boys shouldn't
feel too proud of that because according to the Lam-
beth coach, their team has to travel over 30 miles
to WEST LORNE every time they want to get on the
-ice to practice. Lambeth is without artificial ice and
West Lorne is the closest spot.
In the second trial game in which our locals
took a 5-2 clipping, a line for Aylmer that played
Midgetall year put the finishing touches to any
further ideas of advancement by the locals.
I was very much impressed with the showing of
rushing defenceman BILL HEYWOO'D and the way
rightwinger JACK STEPHEN carried the puck. The
pair' stood out the most for ail -round performance -on
the Exeter club and made the all-star team that was
picked to play the TORONTO MARLBOROS in an
exhibition game.
A number of the Bantam players look to be
coming right along in line style and IF they keep
thei) `noses to the grindstone, they may some day
Score with the hockey greats,
AYLMER TROJANS, the Intermediate "A" entry
for that town, has joined forces with the EXETER
MOHAWKS by banging up their' Skates for another
season as . 'the high classed TILLSONBURG PAN
I)RIEDS have set them down in games 4-0, with one
game tied.
PLAYING COACH of the TROJANS, CLIFF
SIMPSON, told •us that they had four big JOHN
HENRY'S on the blueline for them and no matter
what you told them they were sure to set up plays
fOr the opposition sooner or later.
SIMPSON has a job that a good many athletes
wished they had. Mr. Simpson, who has played pro-
fessional hockey with INDIANAPOLIS, ST. LOUIS
and DETROIT, coaches allminor hockey teams in
that centre as well as the TROJANS. and collects a
sweet salary., of $4,000 a year. Besides this, he is a
scout for the LEAFS of the NATIONAL HOCKEY
LEAGUE., .
The only fault we found with the Aylmer tourney
was that the towns should have been broken intotheir
reltpective classifications so 'that each team would
have .a better chance. The way it was, towns with a
ppopulation, of 2,500 could tangle with a club drawing
froman area of eight or nine thousand people.
GODERTCH sent a hustling band of skaters into
the tourney and „although they didn't win anything,
\they're going to Make it tough on teams in the forth -
Coming years.
