COONEY'S SCHOOL PICTURE These are
the students, of S.S. No, 8, Tuckersmith or the.
Egmondville; School., Ralph "Cooney" Weiland
is •ttt:estudent on the upper leftcorner, and Mrs.
Scott Habkirk is the student on the upper right,
Cooney Weiland:

snapping turtles, fishing, budding rafts,
bull -basting frogs; . with' short sticks,
running, jumping and racing."
Cooney soon also became a leader at the
Egmondville school (S.S, No, $ formerly
Van Egmond's School) and was usually the
centre of attention,
APPLES'
Mr, Hart tells of one day when a young
lady was filling in for the school's absent
teacher,. George Holman, and the boys in ,
the class kept dropping apples onthe floor
to annoy her. Finally, unable to control her
temper any longer, the teacher said, ' `This
' afternoon 1 am going to , collect all the
apples and take them home."
This was enough of a'challenge for
Cooney Weiland' and so during the noon
hour, he led a gang of students•down to the •
Van Egmond's orchard and: theyloaded up
. with. apples,
"Every boy filled his pant -legs and
shirt -waists and away back to school," Mr
Hart. said. . • . , .
As soon as the students werclback in.
their desks, the apples started to roll out So
• the teacher made all the boys march to the
front of the room and deposit the.apples on
• her•desk. But in the end, the joke was on
the teacher, just as Cooney had intended.
She ended up with three ;times as many
apples as she could carry.
By the time Cooney reached high
shook his sports career was beginning Ito
attract as much . attention as his hijinks
had. He won both the junior and senior.
championships in sport and, proved to be
one of.the best short-stops in the collegiate
league. But perhaps most importantly, he
started taking, hockey seriously.
His first skates.were the old flat rule -mac
skates, a bit too large for him and perhaps
handeddown by an older brother. But
large or not, he mastered the skates and
soon perfected the art of scoring goals, One
of his tricks was simply to camp in front of
the netand wait for an opportunity to; •
score.
Vincent •Line of St. Columban, who
played hockey at about The same time as
Weiland did, remembers Cooney coming to .,
the old arena to practise skating before
school in the mornings and then again; after
school at night. He said the local players
considered. Weiland a ``river .rat" but
Vincent Lane remembers him as: ``a wizard ,
with the stick."
ON.Y5'6„
By today's standards,, Cooney Weiland
wasn't even professional player' material-
he
aterial he only stood about 6" and.as Mr: Lane,
said, '"he wasn't a big boy 'at all." But
skill, not size was the determiningfactor,
and even when he was playing in the local
Teague, "you couldn't get the puck off
him" said Mr. Lane. • •
• Mr. Lane . said "1 remember. scrimma
: ging with him and 1 learned a lot from him
about stickhandling-and: `we played on
natural ice in these days::'
Picked to play for the Seaforth Junior
O.H.A team,. Cooney Weiland's stickhand-
ding technique was impressive enough that
a scout from 'Owen Sound, offered him a
place OR the famous "Greys" team.'
In 1923, when he wasstilh a 'teenager,
Weiland went to play for the Owen Sound
Greys. The next season Owen Sound won
the Memorial Cup, the junior champion-
ship of Canada, and Cooney Weiland
attracted the attention of scouts from one
of the American leagues:
The Egmondville native was welLon his
way to hockey stardom..,
