Novice tea
After some exhibition
games with Mitchell. the
Novice road team had its
season opener on Nov. 18
with Elma Logan winning 7-5. •
Seaforth played very defen-
sively considering they have
only two players from the
previous year.
On Saturday, Dec. 4 they
met Mitchell in Mitchell to be
overtaken again by 6-1. The
goalie was doing his job very
well or the score would, be
larger.
On Friday. Dec. 10 the
i s opener
team produced a good game.
John Moylan played goal and
did a good job of defensive
hockey. Jason Beuttenmiller
scored three of the five goals
with Steven Dapple assisting
on one of the goals. Steve
Papple scored two goals and
was assisted by Thomas
Wheatley on one. The team
as a whole showed aggressive
qualities and both teams were
equally matched in strength.
Dec. 1I the team showed
the home town fans that they
will come on very well by the
end of the year. John Moylan
made some outstanding
saves which he himself was
surprised about.
Steve Papple who suffered
from the flu the night before
showed no ill effects but
scored five of the six goals
unassisted. Jason •Beutten-
miller scored one goal unas-
sisted. In every game
strengths of the players
come through and there will
be definite progress. Keep up
the good work.

Opinion
Book honours Morenz
BY KRIS SVELA
Aggressiveness, style and an enthusiasm
to improve the sport of hockey were the
trademarks of the sport's first superstar,
Howie Morenz, as documented by former
Mitchell resident Dean Robinson in his
newly released biography of one of hockey's
truly great players. It was his display of
ar. all -overpowering need to excel and to
improve the game that won Morenz a place
in hockey history.
Born in Mitchell on September 21, 1902.
young Morenz was the youngest in a family
of six children. to which Robinson attributes
his spunk and determination in hockey,
having to compete against older children on
and off the ice. it began on the ice of the
Thames River in Mitchell with young
Morenz. his brothers and neighbourhood
children learning the skills of the game with
catalogue pads and hand-me-down skates.
Howie Morenz would start to polish the
skills that would make him a hockey legend
during his early days.
Eventually he played through the ranks in
Mitchell and Stratford before signing a
contract with the Montreal Canadiens in
1923 at the age of 21. Together with such
greats as Aurel Jdlat, Billy Boucher and
others; Morenz helped to forge a strong
Canadiens team and set the foundations of a
hockey dynasty that Continues to this day.
The story of Howie Morenz is also a story
of pain and tragedy in the formative years of
the National Hockey League. His contribu-
tion to the Montreal franchise helped the
team to accomplish back-to-back Stanley
Cup wins in 1929-30 and 30-31 seasons..
In 1934. Morenz was traded from his
beloved Montreal Canadiens to the Chicago
Black Hawks. According to Robinson's book
the trade devastated Morenz and seemed to
impair his playing style. His goal average
plummeted apd so did the fortunes of the
Montreal Canadiens. In 1935 he returned to
the,Montreal lineup. but his reunion was
short-lived with his death on March 8. 1936
of what doctors termed, "heart failure, on
the heels of a nervous breakdown."
Since his untimely death. Morenz has
been honoured on many occasions, for his
contributions to the' sport of hocke. •
Dubbed the Mitchell Meteor and the
Stratford Streak in his playing days, his
contributions include several scoring re-
cords as well as a three -time win of the Hart
Trophy as the NHL's most valuable player.
During his days in Stratford one sports
columnist wrote about Morenz "He is the
world's cleanest. fastest and best hockey
player."
Dean Robinson has uncovered and
documented the life and trials faced by a
great hockey player and a major contributor
to the sport. For those of us too young to
remember Morenz, the book is a tribute to a
hockey enthusiast as well as a historical
documentation of his feats. To those who
remember thishockey hero, the' book
represents a prized documentation of a man
who gave his all for the improvement and
promotion of Canada's number one sport.
The book is available at Tremeer Commer-
cial Printers (autographed by the -author).
CENTENAiRES OPEN
The on again off again Seaforth Cente-
naires will meet their traditional rivals of
the Junior D Western Division, the Mitchell
Hawks. in the first game in the new arena on
Friday at 8:30 p.m. The team is continuing
to make progress over last year's poor
showing. although they are having some
difficulty establishing a consistent game
plan.
For fans and supporters of the team who
have been eagerly awaiting the first game in
the new Seaforth arena, Friday's game
should prove to' be a perfect opportunity. to
give the team a morale boost. Come out and
cheer your team in a game that should prove
to be exciting.
Centenaires blank Thedford 3-0
BY GARY GRAY •
Goalie Dan McClure
kicked out all thirty-five
drives directed at him and the
rest of the Centenaires played
excellent two-way hockey for
the entire sixty minutes as the
Centenaires shutout the third
place Thedford Browns 3-0 in
Hensall Friday night.
After a scoreless first per-
iod in which the Centenaires
were outshot 9-7. the puck
started to bounce right in the
second frame as the Cente-
naires got goals from Jamie
McClinchey and Dave Mur-
ray just 19 seconds apart to
take a 2-0 lead. With only 37
seconds remaining in the
period and the Centenaires
enjoying a man advantage.
Dave Erb scored what turned
out to be the final goal of the
game as he converted passes
from Jim Campbell and Tom
Turner. Thedford once again
outshot the Centenaires this
time by a 11-10 margin.
In the third period the
goaltending at each end was
superlative with Milner of
Thedford stopping all thir-
teen directed his way.
The shutout for McClure
was only his second since
joining the Centenaires four
years ago. and that came
against the Lucan Irish in a
playoff game in Lucan.
Centenaire Scents: This
weekend marks the return of
the Centenaires to their new
arena. On Friday night Dec. ,
17th they host the Mitchell
Hawks and on Sunday after-
noon they tangle with the
Exeter Hawks. If the Cente-
naires are going to make a run-,,
at a play-off position they are
going to have tb win both of
these games.
Also. the management.
executive and players would
Tike to thank all the arena staff
at Hcnsall for their friendly
and .courteous service over
the last year and a half. It was
all much appreciated.
