Dream season Louzon Flyers The Louzon Flyers capped an unforget- table season by winning their 21st con- secutive game beating Stouffville in Oshawa to win the OHA Junior C crown. It was April 8, 1947 and London Free Press Sports Editor Jack Park described the win as climaxing the greatest season ever experienced by a Goderich hockey squad. The Flyers finished the 1946-47 season undefeated and went on to add seven more wins in the next year, running their record to 28-0 before they lost. The team was sponsored by Ivan Louzon who owned a fruit stand near The Square. Walter Westbrook was the coach, Ed Er" vine the trainer and Arnie Doak was the manager. Jim Hayter Sr., who came to Goderich from Dashwood as an 18 -year-old left- winger to play with the Flyers, describes Louzon as a big-hearted man who put the team ahead of all else. Hayter now owns Jim Hayter Chev-Olds. "He (Louzon) was the best sportsman ever to come out of Goderich. He gave the boys and their families an exceptionally good time. He treated the team like pro- fessionals," said Hayter. He treated them like professionals and they played like champions. Time and time again the Flyers rallied from two and three goal deficits to win and keep the streak alive.-. :.._... On March 27, 1947 the New Hamburg Transports were leadingthe opening game of a two-gameitotal-goals playoff series 6-3 when the Flyers exploded for six staight. goals to win 99-7. Hayter keyed the come- back with three goals. Jan. 28, 1997 two goals in the last five minutes of play broke a 2-2 deadlock and gave the Flyers a 4-2 road win over. Listowel. Their grittiest performance had to be the final game against Stouffville to win the Championship when they won in overtime 7-4. l Park describes the action in his story: Lanky Kenny Doig was the man of the Mo- ment in the overtime session flashing down the ice on a clean break in the first minute of e a time he scored what prov- ed to be th game winning tally. Not satisfied wit this slim margin the Flyers ran through a demoralized Stouffville team for two more goals by Jimmy Hayter and Harold Marren to make their verdict a decisive one.1 The teams, were tied 2-2 after the first period. Gerald "Ticker" Mero and Bill Newegme scored for Goderich. , The ,two teams traded goals, in -the se- \cond with Harold Warren.scoring.for the Flyers. In the third, Hayter scored, ,at 19:30, what looked like the winning goal. However, just 11 seconds later Stouffville tied the.ganie to force overtime. The 'Most remarkable aspect of the game never made the newspapers. Most of the team was suffering from food poisoning. ,The team had had pork and beans in a Oshawa restaurant the night before and ccording to Hayter, they were in rough sh pe. In fact, Hayter gives most of the credi for the victory to Dr. Graham who kept the team going with brandy. "We would come off the ice and go staight to the bathroom and Dr. Graham would insiat we have a shot of brandy," said Hayter. Dr. Graham was only one of a throng of supporters who travelled with the team. Edna Doak (Arnie's wife) said the wives and fans would have to buy their train tickets ahead of time to ensure a seat. Ac- cording to Hayter, fans boarded the trains all along the route to Stratford (the only articficial ice surface in the area). Even the' Goderich band made the trips to boost the team. When. the team arrived back from Oshawa, 3,000 fans turned out in Goderich to greet the team at 11 p.m. The blare of the 50 piecle Bluewater Band filled the air; the sky clothed from the light of hundreds Turn to page 9A • Bolton, Grey team to win mixed two -ball event by Rosslyn Elliott Action pervaded the Sunset all week, despite the clammy weather.
