The Wingham Rockers
Oldtimers travelled to St.
Petersburg, Florida, recent-
ly to participate in an in-
ternational oldtimers' hock-
ey tournament and managed
to capture a bronze medal
with two wins and two losses.
The tournament was
sponsored by the Canadian
Oldtimers' Hockey Associa-
tion and consisted of over
30 teams, the majority being
from Canada, but several
were Aitierieran "-mu there'
was one Finnish team.
The facilities are located
on the bay in St. Petersburg
and included a semi -pro,
baseball stadium as well as a
beautiful 6,000 seat arena.
Although the ice surface was
quite large, the icemakers
certainly could have used
some training from their
counterparts in this area.
Wingham had the honor of
opening the tournament in a
game against the Edmon-
ton "Prime Evils". The
Rockers' skaters were
certainly "up" for this game
as they outscored the team
from the West to the tune of
13-0. No less than, 11 players
figures in the schring, Ross
Davies leading the parade
with four goals and one

assist. Wingham's defence,
along with its goaltenders,
Wayne Drury and Barry
Ireland, stifled Edmonton's
attacked whenever they
threatened.
In its second game played
the morning of April 19,
Wingham relaxed somewhat
and came out on the losing
end of a 5-3 score. Hampton,
New Brunswick, ,handed the
Rockers the loss. The line of
Davies, Jim English and Bill
Tolton scored all three
Wingham goals with each
player pick -IO - three:
points.'
In a second game played
April 19, the Rockers
shrugged off the 85 -degree
Fahrenheit heat and downed
a team from Morpeth, On-
tario, by a 5-2 count. Tim
Tolton, English •with two,
John Fryfogle and George
Skinn did the scoring for the
Rockers.
The CORA hosted a dinner
and dance for all the team
members and their wives
that evening. A huge
ballroom, aptly named the
Coliseum, was the scene as
the CORA not only provided
food and drink, but also
distributed $10,000 in door
prizes to the capacity crowd.
Wingham's English was the
lucky recipient of one dozen
Cooper hockey sticks and
Sharon Skinn and Mary
Houghton were delighted to
receive cheques for $100
each.
Friday, April 20, saw a
return to the hockey action
as Wingham and Glen Cairn,
Ontario, lined up for the
semi-final match of their two
divisions.
Although Glen Cairn won
the game 4-1, it actually was
much closer than the score
indicates. The Rockers
actually carried the play
throughout most of the game
but were unable to beat
Comeau in the Glen Cairn
goal more than once.
This relegated Wingham to
the third position in the
combination of two divisons
for which the players
received a bronze medal.
This tournament con-
cluded the hockey season for
the Wingham Rockers, This
must be considered the most
successful season to date for
the the team not only in the
number of games played and
victories, but also in- the
number of acquaintances
made and renewed during
the past winter.
The players involved in
this season would like to take
this opportunity to thank all
those who helped make the
year a success. Special
thanks go to Coach Doug Neil
and the wives and friends
who spurred theni on and
encouraged them when
needed.
For the record, these are
the statistics for the year for
the Wingham Rockers:
games played, 54; wins, 31;
losses, 18; and ties, five.
