Pickard Faces Western Hockey War of Words After Final
Western Canada junior hockey final sparked a dispute as Maurice Smith of the Winnipeg Free Press accused the CAHA of pursuing profits. Al Pickard of Regina defended CAHA profits as benefiting Canadian hockey and argued a neutral site for the deciding game, noting Winnipeg’s rink was booked for an ice show. Smith countered that western fans helped fund a $100000 year, and suggested venues like Winnipeg Amphitheatre or Brandon could have hosted a game. Tony Allan predicted players would enjoy performing in gardens, but acknowledged it would not ease western disappointment.
