ju venile squad Of course it will have to be like Aurora junior C seems to favor a divided group of and teams Personally we dont go for that It would prob ably mean Aurora and Newmar ket would have to join Colling- wood and Midland in a north group It seems like a lot of nonsense Why make the clubs do all that travelling Why not a North York loop of Newmarket Aurora Stouffville Richmond Hill and include and listen That would cut travell ing to a minimum The minor executives to our mind have a better system than the OHA in this regard They allow the teams to form a group regardless of rat ings They give each team more or less a temporary rating via population standards and revise the same where necessary when the team certificates arrive to be passed Usually there isnt a great deal of difference and teams and grouped with Aurora etc seemed to hold their own with the higher rated teams Besides cut ting down on transportation costs an around home group would probably build up district fan interest something that ap pears lacking at the moment Right Decisions Aurora minor hockey men we feel have made a wise decision that will pay future dividends said they were recently approached about taking players from Newmarket or vice- versa to strengthen an midget entry Personally while we all like to see hockey titles come this way like the majority of minor hockey directors we are more interested in seeing as many hoys as possible playing hockey win lose or draw After all when 000 odd teams arc scrapping for titles they cant all win Another thing we cannot see using a player through the regular season and then giving him the heave for an outsider come playoff time Prediction befit Seems were hound to get into a terrible argu ment with sidekick this week Rut before

chine Maurice Rocket Richard of the Montreal whipped home his League goal he set a record that may never be equalled A little chap named Guy Rousseau who plays junior hocJtey for Quebec came up to on a threegame trial A mere 19yearold kid who playing his first game with on foreign ice and second in the National Hockey League it was who slipped Richard the workman like pass off which he scored the big goal with a lightning sweep of his stick in the third period of a game at Chicago on December last When the team left Montreal Chicagobound Conch Dick Irvin said to Richard want to look after this little fel low Rousseau Im going to put him in to room with you Hes fast and ambitious but shy and it will help his complexes if hes with you Richard put an arm around the little fellows shoulder Youre with me kid Rous seaus eyes fairly out at this sudden intimacy with a hockey great A broad grin of sheer Joy split his features He nnd Richard palled around together oddlyassorted pair of buddies from that time on started Rousseau on the line and kept him there much of the game And in the third period he flipped a smooth pass to Richard who was skating behind him and like a flash Richard blasted the puck deep Into the Chicago nets After the goal was scored Canadicn players hoisted Rich- chard high on their shoulders They planned to carry him on a complete circuit of the rink But Richard didnt want that at all and the players let him down if I had scored that goal in Detroit or Toronto or Mon treal I wouldnt mind the boys carrying around dald Richard later But it didnt mean much scoring it against the tailend team and I didnt like the parade idea at all It seemed like rubbing it in This we thought was nice sporting sentiment But Richard noted as a fierce and fiery competitor has made similar gestures before since Not long Richard and other Canadiens went to Annes Hospital near Montreal play in a game for wounded war veterans They visited the wards afterwards Many of the patients asked for Rockets autograph One who had his legs in a cast was particularly insistent He had been badly wounded and Ids broken leg hadnt healed obliged then asked for his should be asking you who have done so much more than I said Richard quietly The sporting circle of the feat was completed when after the presented Richard with he promptly turned the complete amount over to
