It should be pointed out, the members of the exec- utive committee will not stand for rough playing, and the older boys do not take advantage of weight and age to outplay a smaller boy on any team. After a slow beginning, the league will pick up tempo as the games go along, and Richmond Hill arena will be buzzing with boys of all ages anxious to get on an organized hockey team, with proper supervision such as they have at the arena. The members of the executive committee who hold monthly meetings to discuss the welfare of the boys in the league, deserve a lot of credit for their will- ingness to spend time on Saturday afternoon and for practices that are held to help boys improve their hockey skill; not counting the sponsors who were so generous in outfitting the teams with sweaters, stockings, sticks and other equipment thstis necessary. Next year this league will expand with more players anxious to play, and in all probability several more teams entered in the house league. Members of the com- mittee present were George Chassie, Don Thurston, Barry Brent, Al Awsey, Les. Markle, Ed Garner, War- ren Daisy, Austin Boland, Jack Seaton. On Saturday afternoons parents of boys playing come out to watch their boys play hockey. On the majâ€" ority of Saturdays, there are in the neighbourhood of 200 boys at the arena, ready to go on thedicc. , In interviewing members of the committee, the general idea is to develop a hockey playgrqund in Rich- mond Hill, where boys start from scratch as 8 Pee Wee, and when he is no longer eligible to play in that age group, place him on a team in a higher age group, such as bantanis, midgets, juveniles. In this way all boys will play together as a line or defence, from year to year, which will eventually produce some outstanding boys’ hockcy teams in Richmond Hill and district. Several parents have refused to allow their boys to play midget hockey. In order not to deny any one boy the chance of being entered in a good clean competitive sport, the executive committee has arranged to interview the boys’ parents, so that they may be allowed to play in a house league. RICHMOND HILL MINOR HOCKEY A'SSOC. A meeting of the Richmond Hill Minor Hockey Lea- gue executive committee was held on January 22 to discuss the question of a player stepping out of Rich- mond Hill Minor Hockey League to join other teams. There will not be any money refunded, if the player should do so on his own accord, it was decided. YOUNG CANADA HOCKEAY WEEK FEBRUARY 4-11 _----- â€"--_ --.-J --- -_-v .7- It was my pleasure to be invited to this meeting, and I was very much impressed with the way each mem- ber on the committee discussed ways and means of helping boys who are interested in playing “Minor” hockey in Richmond Hill and districts. . 1 A Boy's Dream of Playing Qrganized Hockez COme Tn}; Across Canada from February 4 to February 11 will be “Young Canada Hockey Week”, nearly every town in Canada will participate to make this one of the mOat thrilling experiences in a young boy’s life. Several points were brought out into the open, to enlighten players and parents of boys as to procedure of remaining in the Minor Hockey League at Richmond Hill arena. A player who is entered in a league elsewhere cannot play in Richmond Hill Minor Hockey League. The executives of the leagues are very fair minded, and interested only in, the boys’ welfare. . . .1 - 1.0,, ., One of tie niost healthful éportg plziyed throughout Canada, Hockey teaches the boys how to handle them- selves in a sportsmanlike manner. HOCKEY MIDGETS Thornhill Midgets have won three out of five games to date. In the last two games against Lake Wilcox they scored 21 goals all told. One of the most improved play- ers on the Thornhill team is Don Anderson who account- ed £01 three of his team’ 5 goals in the last game against Lake Wilcox. In a previous game he scored four goals, which is an excellent record, to say the least. Throughout Canada there are some 150,000 boys playing on organized hockey teams, which proves the widespread interest. taken in the fastest indoor sport in the world. ’ ‘ If it is possible for parents and all others interested ln hockey to attend these games, it is with great pride the boys will show you what good coaching and training tan do towards the development of future hockey talent around Richmond Hill and district. This week Thornhill will play a doubleheader agâ€" ainst King City, and it will be interesting to see the re- sults of the games. King City has defeated Woodbridge several times this season, while on ”the other hand W00d- bridge has won over Thornhill twice.

These two' met some monthse ago and at that time Mangotich snatched the middleweight belt away from Orlando only to lose it to Hal Van Dyke shortly after. Orlando feels that Mangotich used some unethical methods on ,him to gain the victory and wants to re- deem himself to the fans. Mango- tich, one of the greatest wrestl- ers, bar none, dismisses Orlando‘s chances and feels confident that he can whip the speedy Italian star.
