November 23,'1978 Sports Spotlight Sy Ross Haugh Goo° hockey This fall the South Huron intermediate hockey league is starting its sexenth•consecutive season of operation with nine teams in competition. We would like td.pass on a bit of the background information on this very popular apd 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 Fw(ston of Huron Park were consulted to determine if the were a sufficient number of good quality hockey p yers in the South Huron area to corm a men's hockeyleague of calibre between recreation hockey and ORA 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 bard work. Stephens, Bedard and Funston along with a few others put together the first constitution and.' successfullysolicited 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•regi Oar schedule Arkona moved in. In 1%7445- the entry from Huron Park withdrew and a team from Exeter was entered; The following !. year- the league - expanded with a new entry from = Parkhtil and -tie recur- n oT-T iron ParkT .— — The next year 1976-77 further expansion took place- " with Watford and Goderich moving in and the returns. 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 acid held that position for one year. He was succeeded for the next two years by Exeter policeman.Ardell MacIntyre. The fourth .ear the league made an unsuccessful attempt to operate *ith a committee rather than a president. The big improvement. for the league and .its. reputation came atthe beginning of the 1974-75 season when John Ansley. then of Huron Park 'and now of Grand Bend was brought in asleagiie president. -Ansley was given a free Band to do what was necessary, in order to improve the quality. of hockey. refereeing. league administration and team manage-. rent ' • , We would like to pass on a large bunch of personal congratulation!, 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 F.orest 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.
