The Goderich Signal-Star, 1957-04-25, Page 6PAW SIX 'Young Canada' Entry Costs Nearly $6,00.0 It is costing the spunsors of the Sts J'ohn's, Newfoundland, Pee Woe seme ping like $3,800 to fin anee the team's trip to Goderich for Young Canada Week. ut the St. John's branch of the Canadian Legion figures the re - Mitts are well worth while. Last year, the branch spent $15,000 to encourage and develop pee wee iiteekey, says Eric Piereey, Legion representative vzho came west to G•nderich a^✓ith this year's team. Except for the team officials, Captain Barry Fraser is the only member of this year's St. John's quad who was also a member of the.: team that visited Goderich e est year. Wilson :•utter, St. John's trainer, was asked what he thought had impressed the Newfoundland lads most during the long trip to Goderich. "Food!" he replied with a laugh. "The boys have never stopped eating!" agreed Coach John Doyle. He and Messrs. Butler and Piercey then took pains to explain that Newfoundlanders are noted some- what more than somewhat for their enjoyment of food. Then, in a more serious vein, the coach ventu 'ed to say that the welcome given the Newfoundlaa;d team when it arrived at the CNR station here Tuesday noon was per- haps the highlight of the trip for the boys. The boys had not ex- pected the big reception and were deeply ifmpressed. Poradcd Around Square The Si. John's boys were loaded into conWertibles at the station, and Goderich Pipe Band led a par- ade down •town and around the Square. Mayor J. H. Graham and other officials extended a welcome to the team. At the Legion Hall, the players and officials from St. John's were given a dinner and reception by members of Goderich Canadian Legion. Head table guests at the banquet were Mayor Grahain, "Nip" Whet- stone and Guy Emerson, of Young Canada Week committee; Andy Prizes Offered Players For Their Impressions Of Young Canada Week Young boys can be surpris- ingly observant people. In this category are members of pee wee hockey teams visiting Goderich this week from var- ious parts of Canada. With this in mind, the Sig- nal -Star has invited them - through an announcement in the Young Canada Week hockey schedule -to take part in a letter writing contest. Every hockey player partici- pating in Young Canada Week is invited to send a letter to the Editor of the Signal -Star telling his impressions of Young Canada Week. Possibly, some of the letters will ' contain helpful sugges- tions on the staging of Young Canada Week from the view- point of the participating players. A prize of $10 is to be given by the Signal -Star for the first best letter and $5 for the second best letter. The most interesting of these letters are to be published in the Signal - Star.

"The Royal York Hotel amazed there, too," added Coach Doyle. The boys had stayed at the Royal York while in Toronto. Coact Doyle felt his lads were "lucky" to beat Goderich in Tues- day night's challenge game for the new Wakelin Trophy. Despite the warmer weather, he said he found the ice here to be better this year than it was last year. Comic Books Essential Each of the smartly clad St. John's players is insured for $25,000 while travelling and fully covered for hospital and doctor bills while playing. Before the boys left home, each was given an impressive list of, cloths and personal effects requir- ed MN the trip. Among the es- sentitt3 listed for each boy were three white shirts and six comic books. Each boy was also advised leo take $15 spending money. Another stipulation was that the boys must attend church services. Each had to get a haircut prior to leaving on the plane. The team took TCA to Toronto, then transferred to the train. After winding up their games here, they will return to Toronto, then fly to New York. They expect to land back at Torbay Airport, St. John's, next -Wednesdayt 4-pan. On Monday, the whole squad appeared on "Tabloid," a CBC tele- vision show. While in New York, the players and -officials will appear on the Ed. Sullivan Show. They plan to present Ed.

Pee Wees Battle To Finals As Tourney Nears Climax With outside temperatures more suited to swimming than hockey playing, the biggest little hockey tournament in the world today nears its roaring climax at the coolest spot in town - Goderich Memorial Arena. "Everything has been running along very smoothly so far," re- ports "Nip" Whetstone, originator and chairman of the Young Canada Week pee wee hockey tournament. This year about •1,300 players, •re- presenting 74 teams from four pro- vinces andone state, are par- ticipating in the great, eight-day event. There was a special parade Tues- day noon to mark ,the arrival of the St. John's, Newfoundland, Pee Wees. On Wednesday at noon, Vince Leah's Winnipeg Mustangs arrived at the •ONR Station. They, like the St. John's Pee Wees, were greeted by Goderich Pipe Band and accorded a civic welcome. The first U.S. entry, Port Huron Pee Wees, made an inauspicious debut,' absorbing a 10-0 whipping from Goderich in an exhibition game last Saturday night, but the Michigan lads were1not discourag- ed. They play St. John's here Thursday night. Goderich Pee Wees--defeated two other "B" entries to earn the .srigh4 to play against St. Marys_ in the "yB" final game Friday night at 6.30 pan. At 'feast three players here for the tournament decided it was warm enough to go swimming -last week -end. They didn't gtay in long, but more ,lads were seen heading dawn to the harbor intent on the same purpose on Wednes- day afternoon. First Series Winner Hensall was . the first'series win- ner, capturing the "D section rtitle by defeating Belrnmont 2-0 on Monday. Thus, Hensall replaces Shallow Lake as holders of the 'Pfri'mmerjos. Trophy. The gra championship of the tournament is to be decided in a game to be played Saturday even- ing, starting at 7 pdm. Later, at 8.30 p.m., •Goderich plays Winnipeg in the annual challenge game, last° game of the tourney. The only happening to mar the schedule so far was the failure of the Hornepayne club to show up on Tuesday afternoon for a game with Harriston. The contest was for- feited to Harriston. When contacted, the Hornepayne coach said he was in hospital and there was no one available to take the team to Goderich. He claimed he had sent tourney officials a telegram to this effect a week and a half ago. Tourney officials said they did not receive it. -As far as billetting for out-of- town players is concerned, Ebb Ross says, "The response of citi- zens has been very, very good so far." Crowds so far are about on a par with last year, according to "Nip" Whetstone. Some of the visiting players have been taken on boat rides here as guests of the Lions Club. At one time, it had been hoped that there would be a team coming from Penticton, B.C., to make this year's totirn, ament a coast-to-coast affair. Those plans didn't material- ize, but there is an excellent chance Penticton will send a team next year. Opening Ceremonies Young CanadaWeek was official- ly opened with a brief ceremony at 1 -p.m. on Friday. Only a small crowd was on hand for the start. 'After welcoming the players, of - Metals and spectators, Guy Emerson introduced Reeve E. C. Fisher. "We are proud. in 'Goderich to play hosts for this tournament," said the reeve. There followed short addresses by Sheriff Nelson Hill, president of the WOAA, and A. P. Boutilier, president of Goderich Lions Club. While most of the credit for the tourney's expansion must go to `.`Nip" Whetstone and his commit- tee, said Mr. Boutilier, "I believe at .least part of the responsibility lies "with the pee wee ,players." He said that townsfolk had been im- pressed with the sportsmanship and good beharvior of the boys Toronto Teait'Sends Its Tribute To Y.C. Week A nostalgic note, recalling the pleasantness of their visit to Young Canada Week here last year, is sent by Ted's Pals Hockey Club of Toronto, for publication in The SignahStar. The letter, which follows, is self- explanatory: Tedi Pais HockeyeClub, Toronto, Ontario, April 18, 1957. Editor, Signal -Star, Goderich. Sir, -The management and all the boys of Ted's Pals Hopkey Club, of Toronto, would, like to take this opportunity to wish the people of Goderioh the utmost success with this year's Young Canada Week Pee Wee Tourna- ment. We would like Goderich to know through the Signal -Star, how the boys wish they could once again return to compete . in your\ ourna- ment, but with the passing of time and the coming of the . teen ages they find now they are not pee Wees; but ,bantaans. Sending thee -trophies 'back to Goderich in a cardboard box is not the way they would like it to be. Mr. Adel, who sponsors the team, 'his often voiced his desire to once againtake a team to Gode- rich, and because of his love for pee wee hockey, has once again started to build a contender. ' Hp how sponsors a minor atom team in the Toronto Lockey League. These boys are now nine years old. Hundreds of Canadian boys have the memory of a Goderich Pee Wee Tournament to think of for years tp come. The memory of their rip to Goderioh, the butterflies that gnawed at their tummies as they awaited the first big game ;still lingers. They will remember the boys from the many cities and towns of 'Canada and the keen competition of each contest. They also will think of the first flight when they were guests of a Gode- etch family. All these things are held dear in aboy's heart. So once again to the people 'of Goderich we say, "Keep up the good work with the citizens of tomorrow and your jab of building good sportsmen can be sum,fhed up in the tournament motto, "When the one great scorer comes to write your name, itis not- of What you won or lost, but how you played the game."

Saturday Games Port Huron Pee Wees, first U.S. team to ,flay in Young Canada Week made an inauspicious debut Saturday night when they were dumped 110.0 by Goderich Pee Wees. But Fred Laenline, Port Huron manager, was not discouraged, "We expected to get beaten by twice that score, so we are quite happy," he said after the contest. For the most part, 'the Port 'Huron lads have had to do their practising on natural ice on a corner lot. The Michigan club is entered in the `SAA" series here and is scheduled to face St. John's, 'Newfoundland, Pee Wees Thursday night in the first regular gone for both squads. In the first period of the Satur- day night exhibition, Gary Doak, Doug Harrison and Don Yeo scored for Goderich.
