Andy Wojna scor- ed the hat trick with three goals and Terry Gain banged in the other two. Denny Connors netted all three for the losers On Sat- urday, January 23, the Flyers used fantastically good hockey to down the Wings 4-2. Terry Gain fired two goals for the win- ners. Singles went to Rodney An- derson and Ronnie Simpson. The Wings finally broke through when Blake McMaster bagged a pair in _the third period. On Saturday January 23 the Dynosaurs had their hands full with the Calypso Kings but fin- ished up with a 7-5 win. Brian Henderson scored four and Bob Beatty scored three for the win- ners. Roddy Huggins beat the all star goalie of Dynosaurs David Reid three times and George Neeland twice. On January 24 the hapless Mustangs bowed to the Dyno- saurs 5-2.

The night will be upcoming in February and the evening will be fea- tured by a visit from Detroit Red Wings’ great stars, Gordie Howe and Red Kelly. It is hoped that auto- graphed hockey sticks will be given to all the top scor- ers in the various leagues and that Messrs. Kelly and Howe will possibly ofiiciate one of the games. This will be a big night at the arena, so whatever else you do â€" don’t miss this great night. â€"- SPORT SPOTS â€"- The public skating sessions on Saturday nights at the arena are usually fairly well patronized and things run smoothly as a rule. However, some of the customers are so young they have to chin themselves to get their money up to the box office window and are not accompan- ied by some older person who would be responsible for them. They are getting out on the ice to skate with a crowd that is just too big and too fast for their skating abilities and one of these tots is going to get accidentally clobb_ered some fine evening. The ofiicials who run the games in the Richmond Hill Arena would not tolerate such conduct even once and a player would be straightened out in very short order. If you ever hear a word out of place at a local game rest assured that it won’t be tolerated once and the offender will have to answer to league officials. Your daughter, wife, or even your grandmother ,won’t be offended at the local arena. Just recently the Toronto Marlboros have been on the griddle again for using bar room language during a hockey game. What beats me is the fact that the game was allowed to continue at all without the officials crack- ing do_wn if the language was as bad as reported. In Richmond Hill, teams are composed of players from all parts of town and every boy knows, plays along- side and likes boys from every part of town and from every walk of life. We don’t have any “ends” to spark unhealthy rivalries, we just have Richmond Hill and district and the result is a good cohesive town. If you think back to your own childhood, you’ll know what I mean. This leads to a situation where a town becomes split into groups and factions and sometimes intense rivalry between the children who live in different sections. Un- der 9. system such as this it is not uncommon to hear things like “We’ll ill those so and 50’s from the south end or the north e d or some other end.” Not too happy 8 state of affairs at all. The important thing is not whether a boy is a real whiz bang hockey player but that he is given a chance to play with others and learn the real value of team play. In some towns the hockey teams are formed on a school or district basis. If you live in a certain area, you have to play for certain teams and never, or seldom, meet players from the other end of town except during the heat of a hockey game. There is no doubt at all that the quality of the hockey to be seen is improving. Kids who could hardly skate two years ago are now very competent hockey craftsmen. All this augurs well for Canada’s national game and seems to ensure an ample supply of talent for years and years to come. écémontl MIIOI' flacéey caugue “m- __ The slogan for the week is â€"- “Don’t send â€" Take your boy to the Arena.” This slogan contains a very wise and much needed message. There are still some parents who have not seen their sons play a game this year but we hope that by this Saturday all parents will have made at least one pilgrimage to the local hockey shrine. 12 THE LIBERAL, Richmond Hill, Ontario, Thursday, January 28, 1960 Last Saturday ushered in Minor Hockey Week in Canada. By this coming Saturday the week will have drawn to a close and just how many thousand games will have been played is anyone’s guess. From St. John’s, Newfoundland. to Nanaimo, B.C. there are over 100,000 boys registered for Minor Hockey. c SPORT SPOTS + T422213 133577 W666431 111111 P111111 PWTLPt L T Pts. 4 16 2 14 2 14 2 10 0|me by Ron Craine 'idlricl J The Wing} took advantage of a poor turnout on the part of the Calypso Kings to score a 6-1 vic- tory.

NORTH YORK JUVENILE 0.M.H.A. PWL TPt The junior team of Richmond Hill defeated the Newmarket Juniors by a 31-19 score. The game was very fast and some hard checking sent one Richmond Hill player and three Newmarket players out of the game via the personal foul route. Roy Finlayson of Richmond Hill was the out- standing player in the game as be checked hard, rebounded well, scoring 11 points along the way. Bill Munro was the game’s top shooter, racking up a total of 10 points. In the second game of the afternoon, Doug Madill scored 22 points as Richmond Hill Sen- iors walloped Aurora Seniors 47- 22. Too bad Doug wasn't playing for Aurora that is from the Aur- ora point of view. On Thursday. January 21, the Richmond Hill Juniors sharpened their claws on the Aurora squad, winning 39-26. On Friday night the Richmond Hill Midgets won their sixth game in a row as Bob Lewis scor- ed 11 points. The final score was Richmond Hill 30 - Aurora 11.

In the initial game, the Richmond Hill Juniors lost to Potexborough 43- On Tuesday, January 19, the Richmond Hill High School bas- ketball team defeated Newmarket 27-16 in a fairly close, hard fought game. High scorer of the game was McLaughlin of New- market as he scored 12 points â€" eight points being on free throws: To-morrow night the Bradford team will be visitors at the local arena. The Hornets have beaten the Bradford team in two prev- ious starts this year and seem a good bet to repeat. Remember that this is Minor Hockey Week in Canada and your attendance at the Arena is urged to-morrow night. The local squirt entry sponsor- ed by the Uplands Golf Club av- enged the defeat of the previous meeting by dumping the New- market team by a four to one score. The disappointing thing was that the crowd in Newmarket was very sparse and the game was something of an anti-climax after the previous meeting in Richmond Hill with a large crowd spurring the kids to great- er efforts. Richmond Hill Putters 4 Newmarket Squirts l The only goa‘ for the Hornets was scored by Phil Dobbs on a play from John Boakalam and Gary Charity. Billy McVean played well in the Richmond Hill goal and the score could have been higher but for some great scores. Bernie Dugwid in the Newmarket goal was particularly alert. The Newmarket team seemed to be "up" for this game as their passing plays were clicking to perfection. The Newmarket de- fence was particularly sound and many threatening Hornet attacks fizzled out harmlessly as they were smothered in the corners. A hard skating, free shooting Newmarket team laid it on the Hornets and made them absorb a sound 5-1 trouncing. _ Richmond Hill Hornets 1 Newmarket Pee Wees 5 Jackson seems to ‘be coming into the form he displayed last year and is making things very hot for the opposition. The team as a whole seems to be hitting into peak form just before the playoffs start. Bob Ritchie continues to turn in sparkling performances in goal and seems to lift the em tire team to greater efforts. Paul Jackson had a very very large night as he scored five goals and picked up an assist on a goal scored by Jackie Dubkows- ki. The seventh goal was scored by Anthony Crack on a very fine solo effort. Richmond Hill Bantams 7 Woodbridge 3 Bobby King tied the game up at the 12.40 mark of the third period on a fine unassisted goal. Coach Wally Stothers and spon- sor Wick Mills are very much concerned over the injuries to .two of their starry forwards, Gord Pipher and Jimmy Rushlow. Pipher has a leg injury that may bench him for the rest of the season, but it is hoped that Rush- low will be available for play-off action which gets under way very shortly. Bobbie King was the architect who fashioned the first goal of the game for Richmond Hill at 11.50 of the first period. Bob roared in and scored on a very fine solo effort. John Lightfoot scored the second goal of the game, assisted by Brian Atkinson hat the 7.30 mark of the second period. The first Aurora goal was scor- ed by Michael Patrick from Glen Bennett at the 10.00 mark of the second period. Aurora tied the game up at 11.45 of the sec- ond period on a solo goal by Charlie Leeming. Ken Taylor scored from Terry Murphy at 12.65 of the second period to give Aurora the lead for the first time in the game. January 25 Richmond Hill Juveniles 3.

The Seniors are out to defend their laurels as they won the January 9 set-to by a close 51-49 score. Wally Stothers has his fingers crossed in the hope that Rushlow and Pipher will both be back in shape for the O.M.H.A. playâ€" downs. Here’s hoping that Wal- ly's wishes are granted as this team can be a real threat in the 0. M. H. A. series. The Hill team scored four times in the third period while Nobleton were able to light the lamp only once. Atkinson open- ed the scoring in the third per- iod assisted by Eddie Gainer. Dave Iverson then scored unas- sisted followed by Bob King and John Lightfoot, both solo (fforts. At this time Bowen was in- jured and forced to retire with Dave Iverson taking over as net- minder. Dave did a creditable job and gave up one goal in his twelve minute stint to Neal Cut- ter of Nobleton. In the second period Bill Tom- linson scored his third goal of the game on a very fine solo ef- fort. Bob King scored for Rich- mond Hill on a pass from Brian Atkinson. _ _ The first goal for Nobleton was scored bv Bill Tomlinson assisted by Dave Flasker and Neal Cutter. Gordie Pipher scored the fourth Richmond Hill goal with the assist going to Brian Atkinson. Just before the first period end- ed, Bill Tomlinson scored for Nobleton unassisted: ...__.. we, Lightfoot seems to have come out of the doldrums and is now playing the type of hockey that was expected of him earlier in the season. The first period saw some fast action with six goals being scor- ec‘. Bob King opened the scor- ing on a pass from Pal Green- field._ Brian Atkinson scored the second goal on a five solo effort and John Lightfoot scored the third goal ‘unassisted. _ Wick Mills team has been run- ning into a spell of' bad luck lately as Jimmy Rushlow is still on the inactive list with a badly broken nose. Regular goal tender Harry Goodma-kers was on the sick list and Red Rowen replaced him in the net. With about 12 minutes left in the third period Bowen got a six stitch cut in his head and had to leave the game. FOrward Dave Iverson replaced Bowen and did a good job, al- lowing Nobleton to score only one goal. ' Richmond Hill visited the Nob- leton Arena and came home wearing a large Nobleton scalp. The team did not come out of the game unscathed as Gordie Pipher suffered torn t. .dons in his knee in the first period and Coach Wally Stothers is not yet certain just how long Pipher will be out of action. Richmond Hill Juveni'es 9 Nobleton 4 The last game of the regular season wil be played at Aurora to-night at 7.00 pm. The Rich- mond Hill Bantams will then go on into the playoffs against the Newmarket team. Coach Jim Pollard gives great credit to net-minder Bob Ritchie as his brilliant play kept the 10- cal team in the game. Some of Ritchies scores bordered in day- light robbery as the Newmarket team seemed to have him com- pletely at their mercy. The Richmond Hill Bantam team dropped a tight game to Newmarket by a 2-1 score. Both teams played hard clean hockey and the game was in dispute right up to the final whistle. Coach Jim Pollard gives great Newmarket 2 Richmond Hill Bantams l ‘first goal of the game with the assist going to Midge Hiley. Dave Brodrick scored two goals, one of them a solo effort and the other being set up by the ever ready Midge Hiley. Harvey Gor- don scored the fourth Hill goal on a very fine solo performance. Ron Hogarth was a very steady performer in the Richmond Hill goal and seems to gain confi- dence with every start.
