The players out an the ice are our family • members ay family of eur friends , and neighbours. We're a small commpity, but loyal in our support of the teams and or- ganizations that represent --us.-4t-least.thaes.the-way-it. used to be.. At a recent 'game between the Seaforth Centenaires and the Lucan Irish there was plenty of room, and need, for some of that support. The arena was nearly empty. The young men on our team are competing with the tele- visibn sets of town re- sidents and loasing. The fans who do not come out are missing some excellent hockey and hurling the ' team by their absence. Gary Gray; President of, , the Centenaires BOoster Club, said that "ticket sales for Sunday's game would generate only enough funds to, pay the officials" and will be $US short for arena rental expenses. This is. 'typical of all the home town games. "To help with ex- penses this year" Gaiy said "it was necessary to ask the _ployersio_pay S40 Parb " The small caslrflow is net what bothers Gary the - most. He feels a team cannot plak their best with- out people in the stands, cheering them on. If you would like to help, do not send money. The Centenaires are not a charity. They are a group of young men, paying for the privilege of playing hdckey to entertain you. You can help by coming to a game. Bring your family. Bring a friend. Enjoy yourself.
