Where possible, present N.H.L. greats, some of the venerable N.H.L. greats and stars of hockey leagues generally will be sought as guest re- ferees, autograph signers and as you will.’ In some areas the games and celebrations will be held in indoor arenas ranging from the lavish to the strictly utilitarian. A great many centres will, of necessity, con- duct their programs on outdoor ice surfaces and consider themselves fortunate that the weather was so cooperative as' to ensure a good, fast ice surface. No matter where, or what conditions prevail it will be a busy week for minor hockey executives across the length and breadth of Canada. _ It’s that week in Canada again! What week? Why, Minor Hockey Week of course! From January 25 through to February, from Newfoundland to British Columbia, civic bodies everywhere will be issuing proclamations making the week an official event in every bailiwick and hamlet where water turns to ice.
