The team welcomes all family, friends and fans to come out and watch a fine hockey game against the 1994-95 Teeswater Bantams. Proceeds from the game go to- wards minor hockey. Twenty years is a very long time, but I'm sure a lot of people attending this game will be able to remember, not only the players but also the teams we played against. For those people who don't re- member, I will try to let every- body know who they will see per- forming some of their old tricks this Saturday night. In 1974-75, after capturing the WOAA championship, the Ban- tams went on to play West Lorne in the OMHA quarter -finals, Ca- yuga in the semi-finals, and Mar - mora in the finals. The Marmora m Bantas was well loaded with tal- ent with players such as Greg Ter- rion, who went on to play in the NHL', and three otters who played in Major Junior'' Our Bantam team was built with heart and Soul and a strong desire to win Teeswater•s fust All - Ontario hockey championship. Af- ter falling behind two games, Teeswater stormed back to win three straight games, all on one weekend to become champions. Here are your 1974-75 OMHA Bantam champions, with a few words about each. Herb Litt - coach. Herb was a great coach who knew hockey and had a strong will to win. He could always get the best out of his players because he Was respected by each and every player. Barry Hill manager. Barry was an easy-going guy who was al- ways there to help in any way he could. Probably Barry's toughest job was, not handling the players, but was trying to control the emo- tions of the coach while on the bench and in the dressing room. Dave MacDonald - trainer. Dave helped out a great deal being friends with all the players and he could also tutor along the defence. Dave Cronin - defence. Dave could handle a lot of ice time and was a solid performer on the blue - line. His conditioning was later helped with a few trips to Vic Tan- ny's. Steve Walters - defence and Barry Ross - defence. These two guys were good defencemen and were moved up to forward in the later rounds to help because of their size. Wayne Hill - defence Better known as Meathead, Way . was an all-around great defenceman who could either make rushes or pulverize his opponents with heavy body checks. Todd McGlynn •- defence. Todd has promised to bring his boom- ing, bouncing slap shot back . Doug Gamble -. goal.. -Doug was known as the best goalie in his time. He no longer holds a goal - stick, but says his wife keeps him busy mopping die floor. Frank Leahy -• centre. Frank was an all-around good player who" would often draw fans out just to see him score goals. Arch MacDonald - left wing. A' big, tough forward who could score goals and maybe get the odd' assist. Arch thought his career was over until recently whensomeone told him they are coming out with velcro skates. Jim Blackwell - centre. Jim was the captain of the squad, and back then had a wrist shot as hard as any bantam can take a slap shot these days. Larry Donaldson - left wing. Bet- ter known as Dinky, Larry was a. small guy who could play the game pound -for -pound with any- one. Unfortunately you can't user the word small when describing him in 1995. Bevin Kennedy - right wing.. Be- vin was a fiesty little winger who could score some goals as long as he wasn't home helping -his dad with the cupboards. Htso Hoot Letteau - centre. Often re- ferred to as the best centre in Jun- ior 'C', t's size and stickhan- dling were a big asset to the team.rry LaLorenz - centre. Larry had amazing speed. He was so quick that the coaches weren't sure if he knew what direction he was going. Brad Johnston '- left poring. Brad liked the rough going as well as scaring goals. He always knew when to take his slap shot, as soon as was inside the curling circles, he would tee it up. Clint Pettaplace - left wing. Al- ways' known as the most gentle- manly player, he was a good play maker who would rather set up a goal, than score one. Jim Fitzgerald - right wing. ,Jim was tragically killed in a car acci- dent in. 1980. He will always be remembered by his teammates as a . very good hockey player who played the game hard every time. Cameron Kennedy - right, wing. 'Cameron gave it his best every time out and enjoyed playing as much as anyone. Each and every member of the 74-75 OMHA Bantam team has made- a commitment to come out, suit up and play this Saturday at 7 p.m. We hope we have mentioned someone of interest to every fan out there so we can: full the arena. One other point of interest is that the game will be officiated by Clark Pollock from Kincardine. Tho place to be this Saturday evening is the Teeswater-Culross Community Centre where you can see an exciting hockey gable with. the proceeds going to Teeswater Minor Hockey. Anyone wishing to reminisce with the. old bantam hockey teams is more tbatt: wely come to go, downstairs. alter the game for a social get together.
