ATTENTION EX -SERVICE MEN AND WOMEN AND DEPENDANTS THE ROYAL CANADIAN SERVICE BUREAU OFFICER MR. HARVEY S. PERCY a really outstanding hockey game: They came out ahead by a 3-1 score. Goal scorers were Mike Watt two and Kevin Vandenneuker one. Assists went to Mike Moylan, Joe Murray and Ken Hilde- brand. , f The defencemen all'piayed)ttn outstanding game with Pat Maloney pulling one off the goal line for us. The boys had a tough game to play but it was much harder on the parents who watched. A dream came true To . most amateur athletes, playing alongside famous professionals of their sport is something that only happens in dreams. In fact, some people would even pay thousands of dollars to make' 'those dreams a reality. But, in 1952, the Seaforth Junior B hockey team rubbed elbow pads with such hockey greats as Rocket Richard and Boom Boom Geoffrion when the Montreal Cana - diens played an 'exhibition game at the Seaforth Community Centre. The arena was packed to the rafters. I think they were on a road trip back from Detroit or Chicago to Montreal and someone with connections . set up The game," says Don Morton, a Seaforth player who was 19 at the time. "It was a pretty good thrill." _ Even though the Seaforth team played only the first period, with the Canadiens." dividing into two teams for the second and third periods, the game was "quite an experience. It was something that doesn't happen every day," says Whitey (Ron) Broome. "We had a pretty decent team but we found out we weren't so decent after that game. At the speed the Canadiens were travelling. it was pretty tough keeping up," he says. Though he was a fan:of the Detroit.lted Rings, :Rocket Richard was • an ide40of 19 -year-old Whitey who tdld his teammates he was going to knock Richard over. "He (Richard) -was setting a few records at the time and I told the lads'he wants to keep his head up because I'm going to dump him, but it turned out differently. He was coming down the ice at full speed and I got in his road. He said. 'Look out' and hit me and sent me flying. He went flying too. When I went back to the bench. I said to the lads, '1 told you 1 was .going to get him' " Goalie. Gar Baker remembers that, incident as one of the highlights of the game. It was a wonderful thing. Whitey always liked to check the strongest player of every team and Richard was the strongest and the hardest todumpIt teas j''ast automatic for him to check Richard," he says. The 'Canadiens played like the°profes- sionais they were, with tricky maneuvering like dropping their shoulders because "they knew we would fall for that," says Mr. Baker. •". A 1952 write-up' i i the Huron Expositor says the Canadiens "treated -the crowd to a free-wheeling'dis�play of stickhandling and passing" and' the 'Rocket' Richard, perennial league scorer only once or twice turned on the speatacular'bulrst of speed which gained him the gickname." The Canadiens showed the crowd "what they could do, says Mr. Baker. I remeniber the first shot they took. Boom Boom let one go from the blue line and I 'caught the rebound off my chest. It stung but that was something you didn't want to let on," he says. As one of the youngest players on the Seaforth team at the time, Jack McLlwain says he doesn't remember a lot about the game but says, "It was good to be able to play against those fellas. ' He was 15 years old then and when he played with the Seaforth line which traded with the Canadien defense line, he had to wear Geoffrion's sweater: which came down to his knees. Another incident remembered by Don Morton was the clowning around by Butch Bouchard that earned him two penalties and laughs from the crowd. Bouchard had the reputation of a. really tough defenseman,and he picked on Bob Doig knocking=blrn'Lmiied whtde he was • clowning," he says. After the game, both teams enjoyed a meal together and the Seaforth players' discovered that the Canadiens were just average guys, friendly and easy to talk to. "When we.got talking to them, we saw they were pretty decent. '`hey had several tips for us," says Mr. Broome. And, though it happened fairly often then, professional hockey .teams probably wouldn't play another Junior hockey team again, most of the players agree." "Players in the NHL have such a busy schedule today that they wouldn't have time for it," says Mr. McLlwain_ Wayne Gretzky and the Edmonton Oilers may not take on the Centenaires in an exhibition game but Seaforth has seen it's share of hockey legends when Rocket Richard and the Montreal Canadiens carne to town to play the Seaforth Junior B team on Nov. 20, 1952.
