Little known facts about Cup by ARNOLD BURGHER Centennial Cup is emblematic of Junior A Hockey supremacy in Canada. _The real name of the cup is the Manitoba Centennial Cup. It was presented to the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association in 1970 to celebrate the centennial of the Province. It came abou! because the CAHA instituted Tier one and Tier two Junior Hockey. This was done away with in 1974 when the CAHA wisely dropped the "'tier" label, as it implied a lesser product. They opted for the move significant Major Junior and Junior A tags. Back in the mid seventies there were over 200 teams in Junior A but now they number of 78. The reason is ihat an administrative grant of up to $5000 was available for Junior A hockey from the National Hockey League. But that grant has since been dropped so most teams have reverted to Junior B. The host team or center has won 11 of 14 cups while the same numbers apply to winning Western teams. Blair and Brian McReynolds are the second set of twins to participate in the Centennial Cup. Rich and Ron Sulter helped Red Deer Alberta 'o the 1981 Cup in North York. dwards:acog Sports notes Penetang Recreational Hockey League held its Awards Banquet al Penetang Arena, Saturday evening.

Orillia Travelways has a distinctive local flavour. It is a well known fact that Blair and Brian McReynolds of Penetanguishene and Doug Kirton of Elmvale have contributed greatly towards the team's success. However, there is another local personage connected with the club who doesn't get credited with scoring goals, or for that matter, preventing them. But he is a very im- portant cog in the Travelways machine. He is Chuck Edwards of Midland, head trainer. Chuck has up to five people assisting him including two assistant trainers. Edwards' graduated from the _ Athletic Training and Management Course al Oakville's Sheridan College, the only Institution to offer the course in Canada. Edwards found employment' with Zeller's after attempts to find employment in the training field fell flat upon graduation. Then in January 1984, he was laid off so he decided he would make another attemp! into the sport's field. Ross McConnell, coach of the Midland Centennials directed him to the Travelways and Chuck was ad- mitted into their fold almost immediately. Edward's record is quite awesome. He has been connected with only one last place team. He has one second place, one championship, one Centennial Cup runner- up, plus this year. He says Orillia had no real serious injury since he's been there. That was made as a statement of fact rather than a boast. Edwards works in conjunction with the team doctor. They discuss the injury and decide the treatment. Edwards feels that the first twenty minutes are the most important to a player's injury. The application of ice and the massage therapy immediately after the injury occurs can go a long way to preventing long term effects. This nonpaying position with the team is on a year to year basis for Chuck. His aim is to find a job with a professional or university team. He's hoping he can make 100 Random Draws From 15 Branches All entries throughout contest period will be eligible. 4 winners each week, each week a new contest.
