The village on the Balm Beach road is dwarfed by her neighbours to the north and east, Penetanguishene and Midland, does not have the industry of the two larger towns, or the benefits of a home arena, but that doesn't stop the locals from playing hockey and playing it well. The Perkies, the pride of Perkinsfield, play out of the Elmvale Senior and District hockey league, an industrial hockey system, composed of teams from Elmvale, Midhurst, Wyevale, and Midland. And despite the fact that the other communities with the exception of Wyevale are all larger than Perkinsfield, the Perkies are a com- petitive team. They're the defending league champs and although the team is floating somewhere around third or fourth in a six team nobody's taking them lightly. Last Thursday they knocked off league leading Mansfield 4-3 on a last minute goal by Richard 'Beans' Lafaive. Mansfield is noted as the tough physical team and didn't sway from that brand of hockey last week. The Perkies let Mansfield play it tough and while Mansfeild was roughing it up to the tune of 27 minutes in penalties the Perkies simply skated, checked, and in the In recreational hockey end outscored their in- timidating opponents. The Perkies were assessed only seven minutes in penalties. The Perkies enjoy playing hockey and their fans enjoy watching them. They're the only team in the league which consistently draws fans year in and year out. Mansfield has been drawing good crowds this year since it has become a winning team, but the Perkies still get the most fan support in the league. According to manager Niel Lesperance the reason for the good turnout is that almost all the players come from Perkinsfield. One player brings his father, Uncle Bobby's beats RCA RCA lost another game to Uncle Bobby's last Monday in recreational hockey action at the Midland Arena Gardens "-- only the team's second loss of the year. Paul Brissette and Wayne Miller, each with two goals, provided all the fire-power needed in Uncle Bobby's 4-3 victory. Ken Laballe with a pair, and Butch Smitham replied for RCA's squad. In the face-off between Bausch and Lomb and Mr. Car Wash, Glen Leonard led the way with three goals to pace Bausch and Lomb to a solid 7-4 win.
