Dream season
Louzon Flyers
The Louzon Flyers capped an unforget-
table season by winning their 21st con-
secutive game beating Stouffville in
Oshawa to win the OHA Junior C crown.
It was April 8, 1947 and London Free
Press Sports Editor Jack Park described
the win as climaxing the greatest season
ever experienced by a Goderich hockey
squad. The Flyers finished the 1946-47
season undefeated and went on to add
seven more wins in the next year, running
their record to 28-0 before they lost.
The team was sponsored by Ivan Louzon
who owned a fruit stand near The Square.
Walter Westbrook was the coach, Ed Er"
vine the trainer and Arnie Doak was the
manager.
Jim Hayter Sr., who came to Goderich
from Dashwood as an 18 -year-old left-
winger to play with the Flyers, describes
Louzon as a big-hearted man who put the
team ahead of all else. Hayter now owns
Jim Hayter Chev-Olds.
"He (Louzon) was the best sportsman
ever to come out of Goderich. He gave the
boys and their families an exceptionally
good time. He treated the team like pro-
fessionals," said Hayter.
He treated them like professionals and
they played like champions. Time and
time again the Flyers rallied from two and
three goal deficits to win and keep the
streak alive.-. :.._...

back with three goals.

Listowel.
Their grittiest performance had to be the
final game against Stouffville to win the
Championship when they won in overtime
7-4. l
Park describes the action in his story:
Lanky Kenny Doig was the man of the Mo-
ment in the overtime session flashing
down the ice on a clean break in the first
minute of e a time he scored what prov-
ed to be th game winning tally. Not
satisfied wit this slim margin the Flyers
ran through a demoralized Stouffville
team for two more goals by Jimmy Hayter
and Harold Marren to make their verdict a
decisive one.1
The teams, were tied 2-2 after the first
period. Gerald "Ticker" Mero and Bill
Newegme scored for Goderich.
, The ,two teams traded goals, in -the se-
\cond with Harold Warren.scoring.for the
Flyers.
In the third, Hayter scored, ,at 19:30,
what looked like the winning goal.
However, just 11 seconds later Stouffville
tied the.ganie to force overtime.
The 'Most remarkable aspect of the
game never made the newspapers. Most
of the team was suffering from food
poisoning. ,The team had had pork and
beans in a Oshawa restaurant the night
before and ccording to Hayter, they were
in rough sh pe. In fact, Hayter gives most
of the credi for the victory to Dr. Graham
who kept the team going with brandy.
"We would come off the ice and go
staight to the bathroom and Dr. Graham
would insiat we have a shot of brandy,"
said Hayter.
Dr. Graham was only one of a throng of
supporters who travelled with the team.
Edna Doak (Arnie's wife) said the wives
and fans would have to buy their train
tickets ahead of time to ensure a seat. Ac-
cording to Hayter, fans boarded the trains
all along the route to Stratford (the only
articficial ice surface in the area). Even
the' Goderich band made the trips to boost
the team.
When. the team arrived back from
Oshawa, 3,000 fans turned out in Goderich
to greet the team at 11 p.m. The blare of
the 50 piecle Bluewater Band filled the air;
the sky clothed from the light of hundreds
