The first of its kind in this part of the country continues to be the most popular. The Young Canada tourney at Goderich sponsored originally by the Goderich Lions Club is in its 22nd year. Originated as a one-day joint ' effort of the Goderich Lions and Tory Gregg, then president of the Western Ontario Athletic Association it has grown to an eight day affair with 89 teams competing. If any hockey fans have some time to spare this week, even if it is only an hour or two a trip to the Goderich arena could be rather rewarding. The games start shortly after eight o'clock every morning this week and continuous action can be seen until about ten o'clock at night. While this was being written early Monday afternoon, all Exeter teams were still in the running in four different tournaments. Results of some of the games played since Monday can be found elsewhere on these pages. The Exeter novice club got past the first round in the annual Brampton tournament for boys under eleven years of age by the end of December 1970. They downed Uxbridge 5-3 in a two-games-total-goals series and met Delhi in the second round Wednesday. Other tournament action this week has the Exeter bantams in Georgetown, the midgets in Hespeler and the pee wees in Goderich. One clean top scorer We mentioned in this column a few weeks ago that a former Exeter minor hockey player, Chris Riddell was right up in the thick of things in the scoring race of the British Columbia junior hockey league. The latest issue of the Hockey News has an interesting item concerning Riddell and we will pass it along. "Only one of the league's top 20 scorers can be considered an honest candidate for the league trophy that goes to the player who combines ability with sportsmanship or "clean play" if you wish. That would be Victoria Cougars' centre Chris Riddell, who had picked up only seven minor penalties through his club's first 47 games while scoring 31 goals and recording 48 assists good for 79 points and fourth place in the league standing. All other scorers in the top 20 have spent at least a half hour in the various penalty boxes of the eight-team league." This British Columbia junior league has been having a lot of bray, Is this year and the league president has stepped in to slap .the teams with fines ranging from $40 to $200 for failing to control their players. The most interesting aspect of the action is the introduction of the ruling that produces a suspension after a player had taken his third misconduct penalty. The same ruling has been in vogue in the Western league for a few seasons and is looked upon favourably by those who like to curb the abuse showered on referees. Huron Park Minor Hockey The Huron Park Minor Hockey Association is holding its annual Minor Hockey Day Saturday with all of the youngsters that are registered this year having a chance to participate for the benefit of their parents, relatives and friends. The big day gets underway at nine o'clock in the morning with the second game of the house league consolation semi-finals between the Hawks and Flyers. The Flyers hold a one game edge in the series. At ten o'clock, the Leafs and Red Wings meet in the second game of the league finals. The first game is being played tonight Thursday. The eleven o'clock contest will have the Huron Park novice team taking on Stoneybrook. It will be the Huron Park pee wees against the Kernohan Lumber pee wees of London at 12:30. The two o'clock slot should provide an interesting game with the Huron Park midgets battling with the coaches and referees of the various house leagues. At 3:30, the Huron Park and Grand Bend bantams will meet in an exhibition game. If a third game is necessary in the house league consolation final between the Hawks and Flyers it will be played at five o'clock with the final contest between the Leafs and Red Wings going an hour later, if it is necessary. All tickets that were sold previously for the full day's event that was postponed because of the storm will be honored, Saturday. Booster night Executive members of the Exeter Minor Hockey Association are staging a Hockey Booster Night at the Exeter arena, Satufday night in an attempt to raise nough money for a minor hockey banquet. It is hoped to come up with enough finances to give all boys registered in the EMHA a banquet without any cost to the parents. Hams will be raffled with lunch provided and refreshments will be available. Tickets are available from any minor hockey coach or manager and at the arena.
