WM% ZURICH Citizens NEWS ,By DON O'BRIEN (Citizens News SpOrtswriter) When the Zurich , Lions Ban- tams defeated Bala at Graven- hurst, last March, to win the All - Ontario Ban -tan -1, "D" champion- ship, the importance of an eleva- tion system in our minor hockey set-up was certainly evident. This same group of boys were first organized into a Peewee team in the winter of 1953-54 to participate in the Goderich Young Canada Week. The following year they again spent part of their Easter vatation playing hockey in the Goderieh tournament. During these two years and the follow- ing year (i.e. their first attempt at Bantam competition), the teani displayed only average ability, but the coaching staff had noticed a definite improvement in their play. Then last year with . three years of experience behind them the team realized its ,goal—The All -Ontario Championship trip. Again this year, with the neces- sity of a minor system recognized, the Lions Club, along with the Chamber of Cormnerce, are organ- izing a vast minor setup with the hope that the cold weather will remain for at least two months. Bantams As in previous seasons the Zur- ich Lions.Club is again sponsoring Bantam and Midget •teams. As the majority of last year's champ- ionship_ Bantam team have been elevated to the midget category, Coach Doug O'Brien and manager Bill Yungblut have a definite re- building-dob ahead of• them. The nucleus of • the team is being formed frofn five returnees of last year's Bantam team; Dennis Paul Amacher ingoal, Allen Thiel on defence, and;'Earl "Cuss" Wagner, Ron Deicheil and Russell "Hot: shot" Klopp 'On the forward lino. In addition Gregory Wilbert wile shows great promise on defense and Cameron Witmer a forward saw action with aensall's Peewee "D" Champions last ,year. Other players who have already signed certificates and those who are still trying for place on the team are: Larry Merner, Richard Klopp, Anthony • Bedard, Ray Ducharme, Jim Consitt, Robert Turner, Allan Prang, Andre Dur- and, Bernie Bedard, Allan Broken - shire and Jake Yungblut. Midget The majority of last year's Championship Bantam team. along with their coach, Don O'Brien, and their manager, Earl "Duke" Yungblut, have graduated into the Midget category. Even though this team was able to win the Bantam championship last year, they will have a tougher road to hoe this season, since this will be the first year of Midget competi- tion for most of the players. 11111•1611.161111i .1111110/111.113111.1MISMI SPECIALS THIS THURSDAY, FRIDAY and SATURDAY MAPLE LEAF FANCY RED SOCKEYE SALMON QUICK QUAKER OATS ST.

Club, and anyone interested 7inmoan. leparnirig this interesting sport should be on hand at the arena at Nevertheless the boys are determ- ined to prove that last year's championship was not a freak, but the result of a team "par excel- lence."

Amacher, who stopped about 50 shots during last year's final game at Gravenhurst, will be the goaltender. Captain Wiayne Willert, the old reliable, and Paul "Woody" Weido, the spectator, will be back on defense along with John Masse and Paul Yungblut. Speedy Bob Johnston, last year's leading scorer, will centre steady Girard Overholt, the past season's surprise find and shifty Brian Georffrey, who played for St. Mary's College at Brockville last year to form the number one at- tacking unit.

The winners will then continue on in WOAA com- petition. Rough Start On Saturday, January 4, with only one hour practice under their belts the Zurich Lions Bantams and Midgets played Seaforth at the Seaforth arena. Considering their lack of practice and the fact that they were playing teams of a higher category, both the Ban- tams and the Midgets gave a sat- isfactory account of themselves. The Bantams, after trailing 10-0 at the end of the second per- iod, fought back to split the only two goals of the third period. Ron Deichert smashed home an unas- sisted goal in the final period as, the Bantams lost 11to 1. Up until the last five minutes the Midget game was a real thril- ler. A disputed Zurich goal which would have proved to be the tying marker and an uninden. tified spectator on the ice were the highlights of the game. De- spite the stellar goaltending of Denny Amacher, Seaforth led 2-0 at the end of the first period The second period had just started when Brian Georffrey slapped in a rebound from the stick of Gir- ard Overholt. Bob Johnston also garnered an assist on this play. But Seaforth scored again and the second period ended with Sea - forth leading 3 to 1. Midway through the third per- iod, after Wayne Wilbert's long drive had bounced off the goal post, Overholt scored with Wil- bert getting the assist. This seemed to inspire the Zurich crew and about a minute later, Bob Johnston skated around a 6'5" Seaforth defenseman to score the supposedly tying goal. However, on the referee's claim that the puck had been kicked in, the goal was disallowed. This situation seemed to take the extra drive out of the boys and Seaforth went on to win 5-2. Midget Exhibition Game Oakridge Acres vs. Zurich. On Saturday, January 11, the Zurich Midgets were defeated by the Oakridge Acres Midgets of London 5-2. Lehman with two, Kiib, Cross - an and Welstead were the Oak- ridge Acres goal scorers, while Brian Georffrey scored both Zur- ich goals.
