The executive of ,the Western
Ontario Athletic Association was
present at the meeting in Toronto
on Saturday of the Ontario Minor
Hockey Association.
At that meeting it was decided
that, effective at the start of the
1977-78 season, all players in the
Ontario Minor Hockey
Association, of which the WOAA
is an affiliate, must wear facial
protection,
Delegates to the •-43id annual
meeting of the OMHA, after
lengthy discussion, voted in the
regulation which was presented
by the Thornhill Minor Hockey
Association on Saturday.
This year a new agreement
between the OMHA and WOAA
allowed one vote per ,team. In
other years the WOAA had only
two votes for the entire
association.
Because the agreement was
reached quite recently, only"two
teams from the WOAA had
representation at the meeting.
However now the WOAA will
have 174 votes at future
meetings. These votes are other
than the association executive
which was fully represented on
Saturday.
Several samples of facial
.
protection were exhibited along
with the presentation by the
Thornhill people. The masks were
both of wire and ,clear, see-
through variety. The OMHA
executive, after consultation with
the Canadian Standards
Association and leading sports
good manufacturers, will issue a
directive to all teams outlining the
proper models to be worn.
This directive will be made
available some tirne later this
season so that players will have
ample time tO purchase them'
before the start of the 1917-78 season.

The OMHA executive',
governing the sank/ of players

motion which does not approve of

who h as vision in only one eye, or
less than SO percent vision in
either eye, shall not be allowed to
play unless he is wearing
facial protection that completely
covers the face. This regulation
will become effective
immediately.
The .0MHA regulations will
apply to competition for second
teams and all teams will be
grouped in their own
classifications for playoffs if
sufficient numbers of teams are
entered. Where there is
insufficient entries in a classifi-
cation the OMHA executive will
have the right to group the teams
as it sees fit.
If in the opinion of the OMHA
executive, a second team in a
centre is of equal or greater
calibre than the corresponding
,representative team , the said
second team shall be re-classified
as a representative team and - or
the responsible team official shall
be subject to disciplinary action.
Second teams will be required
to declre their team rosters of 19
players, including two
goalkeepers, by January 10 to the
OMHA secretary-manager. No
movement of players between the
second teams and the
represeritative teams shall be
permitted after January 10 except
to participate in group or playoff
games.
Any player participating in
more than three group or playoff
games with the representative
team after January 10 shall be
disqualified from further
participation with the - second
team.

OPERATION
SERVICE
Legion's Golden Year Project
The Royal Canadian Legion has taken on a
monumental task for 1976 its Golden Anniversary Year.
It is the hope of the Legion to contact every veteran,
every ex-service person and-or spouse or dependent in
Canada ,to make certain all are aware of their rights
under the-Veteran's Charter.
This major effort will call for thousands of Legion
members across Canada to volunteer to serve as
campaign chairmen, team captains and home visitors,
to man telephone§ and information desks, and to carry
out a variety of other tasks, which will make possible
contact with those who need our help, but who are
unaware that theY are entitled to certain benefits.
The general public too, will become very Much aware
of Operation Serviee through the media. It will
consequently present a golden opportunity to Legion
branches io demonstrate to the communities in which
they are located, pie practical application of the much
quoted statement in the Legion Ritual tO the effect that,
Their sacrifice will ever inSpire us to labour on to the
end, that thOse wile survive and need our aid, may be
' assured of aSsistance, •
The task in this operation is:
1. To assure that all petsOns who may be eligible for
benefits ate acquainted with their rights in this regard.
2. To direct all qtierieS.fot counSelling or benefits to
the setvice officer at branch Or COMmand leVel.
So if a Legion nietnber calls, please welcome him, He
isn't selling anything, but rather he is ttying to help
people and he has ari enormous task to do.
Thank you.
