Good hockey
This fall the South Huron intermediate hockey
league is starting its seventh consecutive season of
operation with nine teams in competition.
We would like to pass on a bit of the background
information on this very popular and each year more
successful hockey league, thanks mainly to the fine
executive in charge.
The idea for formation of the South Huron hockey
league originated in the summer of 1970 from John
Stephens of Centralia College of Agricultural
Technology in an effort to provide suitable competi
tion for the students.
Percy Bedard, Zurich and Frank Funston of
Huron Park were consulted to determine if there were
a sufficient number of good quality hockey players in
the South Huron area to form a men’s hockey league
of calibre between recreation hockey and OHA in
termediate “C”.
There proved to be enough players and a definite
need for the formation of a South Huron hockey
league.
Through a lot of hard work, Stephens, Bedard and
Funston along with a few others put together the first
constitution and successfully solicited teams from
CCAT, Dashwood, Hensall, Huron Park and Zurich.
Derry Boyle of Exeter was named the league’s first
president.
Many changes have taken place over the years
which have altered the appearance of the league. In
the 1972-73 season Dashwood dropped out and was
replaced by a new entry from Shipka. The following
year, the team from Hensall dropped out and part way
through the regular schedule Arkona moved in.
In 1974-75 the entry from Huron Park withdrew
and a team from Exeter was entered. The following
year the league expanded with a new entry from
Parkhill and the return of Huron Park.
The next year 1976-77 further expansion took place
with Watford and Goderich moving in and the return
of Hensall. Watford withdrew before last season
started. The league is back to nine teams for the
current season with the acceptance of Kettle Point.
Derry Boyle was the first president and held that
position for one year. He was succeeded for the next
two years by Exeter policeman Ardell MacIntyre. The
fourth year the league made an unsuccessful attempt
to operate with a committee rather than a president.
The big improvement for the league and its .
reputation came at the beginning of the 1974-75 season
when John Ansley, then of Huron Park and now of
Grand Bend was brought in as league president.
Ansley was given a free hand to do what was
necessary in order to improve the quality of hockey,
refereeing, league administration and team manage
ment.
We would like to pass on a large bunch of personal
congratulations to John Ansley for his hard and
dedicated work in bringing real respectability to the
league.
John is starting his fifth year as president. Ted
McCahill of Forest is the vice-president, John
Stephens is treasurer, Ken Fagan is recording
secretary, Faye Reichert recording secretary and the
league statistician is Bob Somerville.
Somerville has handled league statistics since its
inception and also deserves a hearty vote of thanks.
Brian Campbell of Hensall is referee-in-chief for this
year.

Saddle dub to end season
One of the least publicized sporting groups in the
area will be holding their annual awards banquet and
presentation Saturday, December 9 at the South
Huron Rec Centre.
We are speaking the Exeter Saddle Club. Com
posed of about 68 members, most of whom live within
a 30 mile radius of Exeter, the Saddle Club is incor
porated as a non-profit organization under the Cor
poration Act by Letters Patent issued by the Province
of Ontario and all funds received are used to sustain
existing activities and to develop new programs.
Since its inception, the primary objective of the
Saddle Club Association has been to encourage and
promote knowledge in the care, handling and enjoy
ment of horses and in the science of horsemanship and
equitation.
In addition, through its youth activities the club
has enabled junior riders, most of whom are active
members of area 4-H clubs to obtain practical ex
perience in the art of pleasure and trail riding as well
as provide aspirant competitors with supervised train
ing in all aspects of performance and gymkhana
events.
Hensall tourney
