' •A hotbed of minor hockey players, Gpde-
zich hastens to salute "Minor Hockey Week
in Canada." ..A "total of 222 young players are
active in organized hockey leagues here and
take up some 25 hours of playing time at the
Goderich Arena every week. This large num-
tier is due in no small neasure to the incentive
And -inspiration provided -by this• -towns -famed r
Young Canada Week. Such player participa-
tion is good for the boys and Goderich, itself,
is the better for it.
"Minor Ilo-ekey Week in Canada" starts
on Saturday, January. 24. Credit is "due to
many different sources fur the extent of minor
hockey activities in CGoderieh. There are such
organrzatidns as the Lions Club; the Canadian
Legion and the. Kinsmen Club who are spon-
aors. There are various Goderich merchants
who have donated sweaters for the young -
players. And there are industries which have

made cash 'honations to the cause.
Then there aro the Many individuals who
have contributefl their time to coaching, and
ether duties in connection with the operation
of the various -leagues. These inelude the fol-
lowing: Howard Carroll, John Acheson, Bruce

The minor hockey leagues here include,
the ,,following divisions or leagues: squirts,
pee wees, bantam -midgets and all-star players
in the bantam, midget and juvenile le -agues.
And so, on the occasion of "Minor Hockey

to you—"Minor hooey is a family affair.
