IO DEPL OHAIA 85th YearNo 50 Hat Trick Harold Hopper And HighScoring Buichnni lor Ilyer Forward Lines Happy Emms search for talllioppcr who played IliS carlItr out along the wing lanes came to an end last Weekend when he executed fourfortwo deal with Alfie Moore of Gait Rockets Back ed against the wall and directly behind the eightball due to Ms clubs unadmirable position Moore was forced to part vith forwards In order to cash in on rearguard and front line strength Emms had gross of extra mat erial around his stronghold which could bolsitcr many weaknesses on other clubs in the Junior cir hockcy with Crothers BlllldOLCIr of the THL and King Clancy series has already fired two but tricks for the lowly Rockets and if he maintains that pace should be well up in the scoring while in llyer uniform He saw lot of work with Gait Ordinarily he was used at left wing or centre but even skated around on the blue line for power plays Last season Hopper secured 12 goalsand 15 assists while serving 81 minutes in the penalty box just cult Oshawa Generals were In the type of player Emms likes Search of scoring punch as well but Galt satised Emms with pair of Burcham tallied eight goals and five assists in his first year with nifty highscoring winemcn inlonii Hopper will likely line up Harold Hopper of Toronto and George Burcham of Port Dover In return the Flyer mentor gave them an experienced and hard hitting lefcnccman in Ken Schwartz of Yorkton Saskatche wan and complete attacking unit in Ernie Keefe of Timmins George Ford and Ken Green of Toronto Both Keefe and Ford participat ed in many games for the Flycrs andshowcd plenty of speed and fight injected through the coach ing of Emms They will denitely be decided lift to the club Green saw action in the first trio of the schedule but sat on the sidelines for the others Keefe will give Gait thc neces sary strength down the centre He tallied five goals while performing for the Flych but excelled espec ially in the role of penalty killing Ford is swift shifty and ag gressch rightwinger who was in his second year with Barrie He only found the not once in 16 games but despite his low scoring record he won thcadmiration of the fans with his checking ability Green failed to register point in his three games but is known to be good playmaker In Schwartz Galt will have one of the toughest dcfenccmen in the league His two years experience in junior company in the West along with his one season of senior amateur with Baltimore Orioles allows him to have slight edge over most juniors He possesses wicked shot from theiblucline which will not him lot of goals in regular play but most import ant he will team with starry Pete Tkachuk to give the Rockets steady rcarguard On reviewing the effects of the with Rick Hogg and Real Thevrc flls while Burcham will probably display his wares on right Wing with McNabney and Ashbcc Ash bcc has becnforced to move over to right wing recently due to the addition ofMcArthur and Hagah but Burcham will give him chance to return to his familiar stamping grounds Both lads arc in their final year but of great importance is the ex pcrience they hold Their last sea son in the company has been decided factor in Gait obtaining what wins they already have With Hopper and Burcham Flycrs will 100m as even greater threats to maintain the 011A junior suprcm acy Meanwhile Gall rclcascd four of their players one of whom was Bill Boychofl of chroy who didnt appear to provide his bcst effort in the game in Barrie last Friday rare Jim Ycaman of Toronto and Angelo Defclice of St Catharincs for refusing to dress for game Emms gift of four players will definitely be regarded as shining light for Gait BARR Joins Flyers Triiiiriiii 1911 TOP SPOT HERE 9139 15 Barrie llycrs will come off road trip of four games on Wed nesday Dec 15 when they meet St Catharines VTcepccs in their first home appearance in 12 days During this stretch they will have played at Galt St Michaels College Guelph and St Cathar incs They began the grind when riding in first place in the league standing but this important run could easily knock the Flycrs back to third or even fourth place However the addition of Harold Hopper and George Burcham to the roster via Emms fourfortwo trade with Gall may give the Bar cvcning On the suspended list ric squad that extra victory boost while 011 the road something which no club in the league ap pears to have The game here with St Cathar ines will be the first time Hopper and Burcham will be seen in ac tion wearing Flycr sweater and the
