Trenton began to move in the final frame and had whittled the Hornet lead to 5-4. A Hornet goal scored in the dying mo- ments of the game produced a 6-4 win for the locals. A crowd of over 250 were alternately thrilled and chilled as the teams battled it out on very slow ice. At the end of the game players of both teams were ex- hausted.

While there is still almost two feet of ice in the lake, local danger spots can be expected and care should be taken when using vehicles. Conservation Officer Harold Van Wyck at Oriilia. reports that already many fishermen are removing their ice huts. May we take this opportunity to appeal to all hut owners to remove huts before the spring break-up. Floating, nearly sub- merged huts, are a serious ha- zard to boat operators and can ‘cause accidents. Let's all get behind the team and root them home with another OMHA pen- nant. They all played like demons and were worthy of victory. Goaltender Doug Meyers was brilliant througâ€" hout the piece while Ricky Doucette played an outstan- ding game. Every Hornet player is a star and deserves all the support We can give them. The Trenton team were gallant in defeat and con- gratulated the local team on their success and wished them luck in the final series. '|}0n|y Six Jobs Non-Essentials Liberty; in all things Charity” Members of the Richmond Hill Recreation Committee had a very pleasant but very diffi- cult chore to perform last week. In response to an advertise- ment 19 girls and‘6 boys ap- plied for positions as leaders in the Richmond Hill playground organization. There were only six jobs avâ€" ailable, three for boys and three for girls and the interviews be- came a real chore. Interview teams would have been pleased to hire everyone as the calibre of the candidates was very high It became necessary to make choices and selection com- mittee members had much soul-searching to do before they came up with decisions. Successful candidates will be notified by letter in the next week. Similarly those not successful will also be informed. Some very surprising facts came to light during these in- terviews and there are many talented teenagers in Richmond Hill if this group of 25 can be considered a fair sample. The Town and Country mid- get hockey team eliminated‘ Woodbridge from the North York League playoffs by de- feating Woodbridge 7-4 on a two game goals - to - count series. Plans for a final series are still up in the air as rumor has Newmarket dropping from the league. With such a great deal of talent from which to choose the playground program is virtually assured of a successful season. Mrs. Jean Thomson, recrea- tional director of Richmond Hill. will have everyreason to be proud of her staff of young people this year. Woodbridge won the opener 3-1 in Woodbridge on Wednes- day of last week. In a rough, tough game that literally end- ed in a fight Woodbridge out- ; scored the T and C kids 3-1 to carry a two goal lead into the second game. Ken Crook scored the only Town and Country :goal. Richmond Hill On‘ Come-Back Trail?i Richmond Hill hosted Wood- bridge on Friday night. Smart- lng under the initial loss the Town and Country squad threw the book at Woodbrldge. When the smoke and flame had clear- ed the Richmond Hill team had won the game 6-1 and the se- ries by a 7-4 total. Quite a comeback! Town and Country are well up in the play off series havâ€" ing won 3, tied 1 and lost one game to date. Paul Jackson led the Town and Country scoring parade with two goals as Jack Dubkowskl. Ken Crook, Bruce Sim and Frank Pin-i scored single- tons. Phil Dobbs and Mike Howard picked up assists on scoring plays. uuu UL A'LL. u. may v1.51, "v"--.

Some really great hockey is played in this league and some very fine hockey players are affiliated with teams in the league. - ‘ nII,__‘I u; uuv lvubuv- A few years ago the league was a. kind of blood and thunder affair, sort of an icy jungle where the fit and the lucky managed to survive. Spectator inter- est dropped to zero and players with family responsi- bilities were looking askance at the league. For a. time it looked as though the league would fold. In an effort to preserve senior hockey it was decided to adopt international rules. It saved the league from extinction and built it into a. good organization. _ nvnuuvnuu. w.“- "v"... -., n... One of the prime reasons for the success of the league this past season is the work of one Johnny Drummond. Johnny is a Willowdale resident but he has worked so long and so hard for senior hockey in Richmond Hill that most people think he lives at Richmond Hill Arena. Avnuanunuuu ALIAL ‘A- v“... Besides playing a lot of hockey for Willowdale Rangers the tireless Mr. Drummond has taken on many other chores. He has gone around and beat the woods for sponsors. All publicity for the league has been handled by the same J. Drummond and he has done a terrific job. For most games this year he has arranged door prizes and free gifts for patrons, has helped with scheduling and performed innumerable other chores. . 1 VI/llvl. uuuuuuuu At the moment he is just a bit disappointed at l the lack of spectator interest. Willowdale Rangers and the Concord Flyers are locked in a struggle for the Tip Top Tailors Trophy, emblematic of the senior hockey league championship. This final series promises to produce some of the most exciting hoc- ‘ key anyone could ever hope to see and yet spectators will probably stay away .in hundreds. 1 H J 3- -.-.LL.'...._ 1'11: yLva-IN. .1... Like most of us, Johnny Drummond is getting a bit long in the tooth for knocking himself out the way he has done this season. This is, he says, his last season as general factotum of the league. From here on in he’ll just play hockey in the time he has left and enjoy himself. _. _-_. no u: ‘19,,1' “nu. v.5; VJ ........... Who can blame him? He’s so tired by this time of the year that he’s virtually operating on sheer nerve alone. As he says, his wife and children hardly know him and he’d like to renew old acquaintance- ships. If however this final series should prove so interesting that fans cram the arena to the bulging point, he’d feel that it was all worthwhile. And knock himself out again next year. .ununuvu. v..- mo“--- _,_,, He’ll be a tough man to replace as workhorse and the league can only be the poorer for his loss. With a refurbished arena to operate in next year the league could really roll and attract a fan follow- ing. The senior hockey league needs people like John Drummond and needs our Johnny Drummond in particular. Let’s get together and help to change his mind by turning out in force for the second game of the series on April 2nd at 8 pm. Admission is 50c and torrid action is a guarantee. Let‘s turn it into a surprise party for one J. Drummond and give the league a big lift at the same time. Don’t forget the date and time - April 2nd, 8.00 pm. See‘you there, 0K?
