On Thursday, December 26 the team left Seaforth at 6 a. m. and headed for the airport in Toronto. There they boarded a plane and flew jo Li Guardia Airport in New York, then travelled by bus to Kennedy Airport. From Kennedy Airport, and more than 12 hours after their initial departure, the team was on a jet and headed to Copenhagen, Denmark. Once in Copenhagen they changed planes once again and flew to Arhus, Denmark. For the last leg of their journey they travelled by bus to a town called Ebsjerg, They arrived there at approximately 5 p.m. December 27. Upon their arrival in Ebsjerg the team was filmed by a local television station, and that film .was shown later that night on the local news. The hockey players were billeted in the homes of hockey players on the Ebsjerg team, and parents and coaching staff were taken to a hotel. On Sunday. Decemher29, the bantam age players on the team played in the Bernina 'burnament of Denmark. Only 11 of the midget players were eligible for the tourna- ment because of their age, but despite that gave a strong showing and came out the winners. They recorded scores of 5-0 against a team from Sweden, 7-2 against Norway, 4-1 against a second Norway team, and 9-1 against Denmark. The wins gave Seaforth the championship and trophy for their efforts. One of the highlights of the, tournament was the chance for the Seaforth boys to meet members of a team from Baden-Baden, W est Germany. Those players were the children of Canadians stationed at the Canadian Armed Forces base in that town. ' On the day following the tournament the Seaforth team spent a day sightseeing before suiting up for what was supposed to be the first o 'tidal game of their European visit. They won that game 7-5 over a team from Henning, Denmark. In a second game against Odensk, Denmark the Seaforth team also came out the winner by a score of 11-4. They lost their first game on Sunday to Copenhagen 11-5, The midgets have three more scheduled grimes before they return home. All in all the comments being received by the families of the boys is that, "they're having a wonderful time," "the people are very friendly and hospitable" and that "they're being treated well," and "that the food is very expensive with a hamburger costing four dollars and pop $1.50." in honor of the teams return and their "international"• success there will be a welcome home reception at the arena' between 10 and 1 t p.m. on Saturday.
