YCW still looking for 1950 teams
Q;o•
signal -star staff
Young Canada Week is less than one month away and
organizers are still looking for players from the very first
YCW 60 years later.
"We still need players from Walkerton, Listowel, Wing -
ham and Brussels," said Goderich Lion and tournament
publicity chair Alvin McGee. "Everything else is coming
together for our grand opening March 13."
The plan is to have representatives from the original 12
teams on the ice for the 60th anniversary of the "biggest
little hockey tournament in the world."
Started in, 1950 by Nip Whetstone, the tournament has
seen thousands of players move through the ranks over the,
past 60 years.
McGee said players from that first tournament would be
in the age range of 69-73 years old. However, he added that
is a loose estimation.
"That first tournament wasn't sanctioned," he said. "They
just put everyone together they could•get skates for."
The total number of teams for this year's tournament was
unknown as of press time, as playoffs in many parts of the
province mean delays for some teams.
Meanwhile, he 'said all past YCW participants are wel-
come to come out to this year's tourney and share their sto-
ries and pictures of years past.
The puck drops Friday, March 13 at the Maitland Rec-
reation Centre.

The dance starts.at nine upstairs
at the Memorial Arena.
Between the hockey and the
dance, he said a lot of people have
a lot of catching up to do.
"We're expecting a full crowd,"
Corriveau !aid. "A lot of acquain-
tances renewed and a lot of stories
to tell.
"Some of them get bigger every
year.
While the tournament encom-
passes everything from shinny to
competitive divisions, Corriveau
said it's not always easy to fill the
more competitive slots.
"It's always hard to fill the 'A'
division," he said.
This year will see two new
teams joining the tournament line-
up - the Owen Sound in the 'A' di-
vision and the Muskoka Transport
Spare Tires in the Maitland 'B'
Division.
The team of about 20 Old Deck -
hands will handle the work at the
