Saturday morning hockey,
sponsored by the Legion, fin-
ished the winter schedule Sat-
urday, and after each game the
teams were taken to the Legion
and treated to lunch, served by
the Ladies' -Auxiliary.
Over the year, 140 boys—four
groups in all—played in a 12 -
game schedule, with the two top
teams in each group' compet-
ing in the playoffs. This will
lie a two -game goals -to -count
series.
The first of the games will
be played next Wednesday, be-
ginning at 7 p.m., with the last
game on April 2, at 7 p.m. At
the last game, trophies for
teams and individuals will be
awarded. There are 20 trophies
in all, donated by the Legion
and presented by Legion mem-
bers,
During the season, players in
each group have played good
hockey to very few spectators.
In the Bantam group there was
keen interest, the boys being
at the Arena' every Saturday
morning at 7:30. The Pee Wees
played right down to the last
game to decide the second -place
team and a playoff. berth. '
The Squirts were much -the
same, with the exception of the"
top team, who, had a boy by
the name of Paul Kelly,; who
scored 52 goals during the 12 -
game schedule --quite a feat for
a 10 -year-old. -
The Mites under the leader-
ship of Ken Doing, probably
are the ,favorites of the fans, as
these boys, rangingfrom six to
eight years,. , go
aout ht an.
attempt to, put the pink in the
net.
As well as sponsoring Satur-
day morning hockey, the Legion
also looks after the Pee' Wee
team, who last year won• the
Lions tournament in Mitchell,
and is counting on a repeat this
year. They will be playing in
Mitchell on -Mareh 26 at 9 a.m.
against New Hamburg. Also af-
ter an absence of one year they
will be back at Goderich' in the
Young Canada Hockey Week
Tournament, when the first
game for. Seaforth will be Fri-
day, April 8, at 12:15 p,m. This
will be the opening game.
Over the year, teams from
each group played out of town,
the Mites again being entered
in the annual tournament held
at RCAF Station Clinton. Al-
though they did not win, it will
be a day long remembered by
the boys., Legion officials in
charge of the program' said it
had been a good season. They
hoped there would be a big
attendance at the Arena on
April 2nd. to give the Ws the
support they need. Tickets are
available from the boys or at
the box office. Remember, they
say, don't send your boy, take
him to the Arena, on April 2nd,
starting at 7 p.m.
