During the last month the coaching of Magna Midgets B has been taken over by Ken Ham, who is no stranger to the local hockey circles. Under his direction the club is working hard and appears now to be making progress. ' Schomberg came to town December 21 and the Magna team came up with a good effort to win 4-2. The locals gave up two goals in the first period and at one point trailed 2-0. They came back strongly on two goals by Green and singles by Williams and Ferrone. Neither the King team or the referees were in the holiday mood December 22 as they defeated Magna 4-1. Richmond Hill’s only goal Magna Midgets show continued progress The boys of the Thornhill Minor Midgets would like to express their thanks to two men who took on a last place team and helped them to enjoy hockey and win a few games.

What baffles me (and what doesn't baffle me these days) is that the Rams are tied for second and are still fighting for a playâ€"off spot? And there are eight teams qualifying for playoffs in the 12-team loop “This is the first season since I've ’been coaching in this league that we‘ve had a race like this," said Brimblecombe. “A few games ago we had a seven game winning streak and we just stood still. Imagine if we had lost those games? We‘d be out of con- tention.“ 16 â€" THE LIBERAL, Wednesday, Jan. 15, 1975 (Continued from Page 15) bination of four wins for us and four losses for Dixie puts us in.“ tun-LIV: Injuries Injuries threatened to flatten the Rams for a while, with five regulars out at one pint, but most of them have straggled back. Dear Mr. Sports Editor “We’re still hurting but most of them are mobile now," said Brimblecombe. Absent is Rick Febbo who is recovering from rib injuries suffered in a recent car accident. He might, just might make it back if'the team lasts into the third playoff rounds. In the meanwhile, Juvenile Tony Robinson was brought up and played very well. " "I‘m also happy with the way Mitch Edwards has come on.“ Said Brimblecombe. “He’s really picked up the slack.“ Finally: “It’s a pretty odd situation. We’re tied for second, have a better record than last year at this point, and we‘re still fighting for a playoff spot. And we can still finish first." Don't go on, Karl. Can‘t stand the tension. Get down to the arena and see some exciting hockey. I mean you hockey fans. January 22 Which one is the Weber? Give up? Well, that‘s Dick on the left and Bill on the right.

We play basically a man to man game and attempt to capitalize on fast break and turn-over."
