Jack Shropshire, Sandy Dunlop. Jim Wilson, Reg Acomb, Gord Pipher, Brydon Ellis, Red Garner and the Rev. Paul Morley are other names that spring readily ‘to mind. And let‘s not forget Jim Pollard and Les Markle, Walt Donkin, Edward Brown and Larry Oliver. Ray Brooks has put in more than his fair share of work while the incumbent president, Earl Methe, needs no one to thump the drum on his behalf. Wally Stothers put in many a year both officiating and coaching teams as did “Doc” Atkin- son. The recent title won by the North End Clean- ers bantam hockey team at a tournament at River- side, Ontario, served to remind us of just how far and how fast minor hockey has progressed in Richmond Hill. Seven years ago any bantam hockey team in the Richmond Hill organization would have had trouble taking the ice against Havergal College seconds. And now they can defeat the Detroit Teamsters, a club that had a record of 48 straight wins until they met the Cleaners. If that isn’t progress and improvement then nothing is. With each passing year the improvement in all grades and age categories of hockey has been very noticeable. It would ‘be nice and tidy if credit could be given to one or even° two individuals but unfortunately it is not the case and it wouldn’t be true. This has been brought about by the concerted efiorts of a large group of dedicated individuals -â€" some of them still very active while some, by force of circumstance have had to step down. Their names are legion and, in trying to name them all some are going to be left out â€" there’s no slur or slight intended it's just that our memory is not that good! But name some of them we must â€"- they deserve a great deal of credit for providing good, clean hockey for over 800 boys eachfiseason. Here goes !! Ted Dobbs has handled various jobs in the Richmond Hill Minor Hockey Association from coach to registrar and statistician. The hallmark of any Dobb’s chore is 110% thoroughness and if that’s a failing it's a good one! Elgin Barrow, Bob Jackson, John Gropp and Wick Mills have all done their share on the executive side as have Freddy Waters, Bob McKenna and Bob Pimm. For many a. year Brother Pimm handled the finances and handled them so well that the organization is still solvent.

The “roaring” game is just getting well under way for this season, and there is still lots of time left to enjoy this great game this winter. Dalt closed out his seven years in the NHL at the end of last season on a less than happy basis with the NHL powers-that-be. “We couldn't see eye to eye for another season,” he said. “There were things I wanted changedand things they wanted. You might say we just decided to disagree.” Dalt has yet another way of phrasing it. “My friends would say I quit but my enemies would say I got fired.” You can take The romance is over.

Dalton has had his share of bad games as well as good games. “Everyone has them,” he saw, "and sometimes they’re not easy to forget.” One of his more classic “goofs” as he refers to it came one game when he called a penalty shot and let the opposing team select the player they most wanted to see shoot it. times they’ll tell you to let up on it because you’re slowing the game down.

SCORING LEADERS (Up to January 3) STANDINGS “Most of the filayers were pretty good guys," he states. “They had bad games and they know refs had them too. The most trouble came from the borderline players. They com- plained the most.” One of the more prominent “criers”, as Dalt puts it. was Montreal coach Toe Blake. “Toe was crying even when he had that great Canadian team of a few seasons back. He‘d win by nine goals and still be unhappy about the refereeing." As to how he took up refereeing at all: “I wasn’t a very good hockey player,” he says, “and so I drifted into it when I was asked to ref. some peewee games around 1949. I then kept it up, went into the Toronto Hock- ey League, and then into the OHA and fin- ally the NHL.
