DE$ERYES YOUR $UPPQRT
By the time all our readers fat latest count
we've built it up to six! sit down to read this
column, Minor Hockey Week will be half over.
However, it will still afford'Ume for you to get.
R
out and support the kids.
On Saturday night, Exeter bantams and
midgets will host a pair of top notch clubs from.
Detroit, and should prove worthwhile for hockey
• fans in the area. The -midgets have already tackled
this Detroit club, and although they came out on
the short end of a 6-5 count, observers described it
as one of the best games played in the Exeter
arena this year.
After the locals overcame the shock of see-
ing these "giants" from the Excited States step on
the. ice, they settled down and played hockey the
way they are capable of doing. Down five goals in
1
the early minutes of the contest, they came roar-
ing back to .conte to within a single tally of ,draw-
ing even with the visitors.
The Detroit bantams are still an unknown
quantity, but if they match up to their older co-
horts' standards, they will undoubtedly be tough.
However, they will have to be, because the local
kids have one of the best bantam teams iced here
for several seasons.
As yet, they have not tasted Defeat, and have
only been tied once, that being their first game of
the season, Since that time, they have run rough-
shod over their competitors and have built up a
very creditable record. In . Shamrock play they
have popped in a total of 60 goals in eight games,
and have been scored on exactly five times, Al-
though we don't have statistics on WOAA play,
they have a similar record in this league against
all-star teams from the neighboring communities.
The first game of this big doubleheader gets
under way at 7:00 p.m. with Mayor Pooley drop-
ping the first puck. Admission is only 500 for
adults and 250. for children. and advance tickets
are on sale now. So, remember the theme of hockey
week—take, don't send your, boy to the arena. Iii*
fact, take the whole family,
THEY HELP TO MAKE IT POSSIBLE
.Although we realize Winston Churchill was
not referring to hockey when he said "never has
so much been owed to so few by so many",
the statement is certainly applicable in the case
of the minor setup in Exeter.
It may come as a bit of a surprise to many
of aur readers, but there are well over 250 boys
playing on 19 hockey teams in the community,
under the recreational program directed by Larry
Heideman, and sponsored by the Exeter Legion,
Kinsmen, Lions and RCAF Station Centralia.
Naturally, a vast setup such as this cannot
he handled by one man, and so we find a long
list of "heroes" appearing on the scene in the
persons of coaches and managers,
Unfortunately, these are usually "unsung
heroes" and many persons do not realize the great
amount of–time and effort given by these men.
Some of these teams play as often as three times
a week, so you can see these -nen are called on
to give up considerable of their personal time to
help these kids—your kids.
They have the arduous task of picking out
the all-star teams, molding thein into a winning
combination, making sure all the players know
where and when they are playing, seeing that the
team has all 'the necessary equipment, and general
Ply looking after the players' conduct at home and
away.
Not all the players :in the minor setup are
good enough to make all-star teams, so a complete
house -league division is set up to make sure that
all kids who want, to play hockey have the oppor-
tunity.
The men responsible for this work are many,
and because we know that many parents do not
.,even know who looks after their kids we are go-
ing to print the names, trusting that we have not
omitted, any,
The house -league coaches and managers are
Norm -felly, Doug Allen, Doug Grayer, Al Hinton,
Art Storey, Gord Bny.nhain; Bob Burns, Bob Rogers
and Arnold Wedge, The all-star coaches include;
Red Loader, Gord Baynhani, Jim Glover, Bunny
Ford, Gerry Smith, . Art Storey, Doug Allen, Lloyd
Cushman, Neil Cam bell, Derry Boyle, Larry Heide-
man and Don Grav tt.
Another group ( volunteers, who perhaps have
the hardest task, fate the referees, These men also
give tip much of(their time, and also have to listen
to the complairts of coaches, niaragers and fans,
We are certainly not suggeati:ng that these. fellows
are incompetent, just; pointing out the well-known
fact—that you can't please 'ern. all.
Tlie referees include: Iry Ford, Don Gravett,
Red Loader, Sill Waghorn, Bill Batten, Derry
Boyle, "Blackie" !Blackburn, John Fleming, George
Kelly, Cy 'Blommae't, Jim McDonald, I loyd Moore,
Claude Duval, Gary Parsons, Peter laeVries and
Claude Audet,.
None of these men receive any monetary
returns for their efforts, but are paid in, full by
watching the smile of a youngster scoring his
first goal—sharing the elated feeling of the kids
after winning a game—watching` proudly at; they
take their share of defeats graciously.
You',nay think it is anoversight on our part
that we fail to mention that they men are "paid"
by knowing they ha' e the thanks and support, of
the parents arents Of the kids they look after•, UnfortUtte
ately this is not the case,' and these volunteerg;
have never met the majority of parents and never'`
see them at a game.
This is the only sad part of ! ter's minor
aettipd We certainly hope that these parents will
take the Opportunity before the season is over= to
go to the arena and personally thank these hen
fol', their efforts. We think it is the least they can
do,
• As 'a closing -tote, we might mention that
the parents we see at the games are: usually those
