Itwas Minor Hockey Week across ?eti | Canada and this evening was held in conjunction with many other towns and cities in Can:lt;kJ j ada^°| To get the evening off to a roaring start the two teams ke m the broomball division of ’n* | the Pee Wee hockey league j played a half-hour exhibition j game and they provided thrills and many spills for the crowd. The boys were decked out in their new sweaters signifying if they were a “Tiger” or a “Lion”. Alter 30 minutes oflt;hard play the score n-1 a 3-3 deadlock.lt;aay13h-aticofihr*The Pee Wee and Bantamteams from St. Laaare were invited to take part in the evening’s program, and first to see action were the Pee Wee teams. This was a Snake Creek League fixture and the score of 13-3 did not indicate the play. Craig Loney put on a display of fine hockey and * came up with the amazing ' number of 10 goals. These 12-and-u.oder boys have been put 31 ting up a fine brand of hockey. nd I all season and are undefeated ,KTAgames to date. e | In the Bantam game the Russell boys made it a complete victory night and came out on top of a 84 score. The Bantams under Coach Jack Dow have only one loss in j € league games. | ftM Minor Hockey Night 1963 was not only a Mg night for the players but for myself as well. The presentation of the Minor Hockey Plaque to me by Mr. Logie SmeUie. on behalf of the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association, is one of, if not the nicest thing, that has happened to me. I am positive this award would not havej j eonre about if I had not had j p. the wonderful co-operation of friends, boys and parents during the past eleven years. Working with boys from Russell has always been a pleasure to me. and if I have given them any incentive to becomefine young men not only in sport hut hi community life then I will say I have been paid in full. Although names should not be mentioned I feel I must name one who has been a tremendous help to me in past years, so I say thanks to George Allen I hope I will be able to carry on a few more years, promoting the interest in Minor Hockey inMklt;Elt;S|neIderGiS3EcRussell.—Jack Thom, Coach eh
