Six o'clock Thursday evening,
Craigwood Director, Jack Wilms,
dropped the puck for the official
start off of a fifty hour floor
hockeython by Craigwood boys.
Wanting to raise money in
support of Bunny Bundle the
boys conceived the idea of
holding a fifty hour hockeython.
All of the thirty boys in residence,
plus three from the community,
set the goal to play a continuous
game of floor hockey in the
Craigwood gymnasium
throughout a fifty hour period.
Eleven of the staff assisted with
the games, The boys gathered
monetary pledges for the number
of hours they would be playing
personally.
Six teams were set up allowing
for brief rest periods for the
players. At 1 o'clock on Saturday
afternoon the score was tied, and
throughout the fifty hours
competition remained keen, and
enthusiasm was high as scores
remained extremely close.
Eight o'clock Saturday night
the official score was 1268 to 1269
with young Ray Hallet coming
through with the winning goal
just nineteen seconds before the
siren sounded signalling the
conclusion of the fifty hours.
Through their efforts the boys
raised approximately four
hundred dollars on behalf of'
London's Bunny Bundle project.
