I don't think anyone would con- tradict me if I state it was a complete success and the prestige it brought to Branch 540 is without parallel. There were 27 teams in com- petition with the final result being 'B' division Willowdale; 'C' Division Forest and 'D' Division Zurich. The trophy for best goalie went to Willowdale and the trophy for the most gentle- manly team both on and off the ice was won by Exeter. Of course a tournament of this proportion entailed a lot of planning and work and Branch 540 would like to acknowledge with grateful thanks, some of the people involved - the hockey mothers who volunteered their services to the Ladies Auxiliary in the preparation and serving of meals and snacks, the hockey fathers who made themselves available for anything that was requested of them, our own Legion minor hockey players who worked constantly and for many hours keeping the premises clean - the referees and linesmen who volunteered their services - to the Ladies of our Auxiliary whose task was to feed the hungry 'multitude' (I bet they won't want to see a hamburg or hot-dog for Many months.) To the members Of Branch 540 who manned the door looking after programs and sale Of novelties, A very Special tip of our bereta go to Donna and Jim Freeman who fostered the idea in the first place and worked many hours prier to and during the tour- nament. Mustn't forget the folk of Lucari and area who opened their harries to billet the young visiting hockey players. To niake this tournament the success It 'was required the combined co- operation of many people, if I have forgotten to thank anyone, please believe me it is ari over- sight. So to all of the wonderful people who worked for Many haus to make this tournament so successful, the Members Of Branch 540 say 'Thank You and God Bless.'
