mama seasonr DALE RdLlE The ontarlo liockcy Association Junior cries closest to home holds all of our lnlcrest at the moment And Judging from the questions asked since local hockey story last week we are not alone in our wonderings night all the hot everyone can see that the leugpe is minus tow oi the guys termed as stars The fellows who put the crowds on their laet every time they pick up the puck The same guys that the Nallon 11 League scouts praise or criticize nte same guys that newspapnrmcn no exceptions really love necause it makes writing copy so much easier You probably already know that we are referring In the likes of St Mikes Frank Mahovllch and Guelphs Eddic Shack Both boys had that watch cm go style of play Shack loomed around the boards and lilahovlich daTZItd cm right up the middle Both boys are given better than average chances of catching on with big league team For Mm hovllch the lByearold whiz of the St Mikes Majors its the Toronto Maple Leafs For Shack who is on old for another season of junior plil its the New York Rangers Will the absence of these hoya irom the circuit hurt the Junior attics Not likely And thats the way its been with Junior hockey since its inception Theres always tow superstars hndding through the ranks St Caillflrlnes chlces look It the club to come through with rnuple of starry performances leading the list is husky Bobby Hull the

in the league ln his first year in the OllA McKenzie finished well up in the sour ing parade and proved one of the most colorful stars of the game Then theres Stan Mikita tsayearold who made his league scouts go hugoycd The rangey youngster played like seasoned veteran irom the start and is undoubtedly one oi the nest prospects in hockey today The Hamilton Cubs canle up with huge dcfcncentan last season who could scare many iorward into going the other way ilis name is Dave Amddio who packs 240 pounds on his big frame it wildman Howie Young returns to the club this season Hamilton will have little lrouble paoking them in The Guelph Biltmores will be without Bill Sweeney and anal Shack their onetwo punch oi last season am that still leaves them with pretty exciting lineup Well go way out on tho that and say that young Ritchie Tennant firstyear man with the club last season will he their big drawing card it nothing else The huge delenceman stands well over six tact and carries close to 200 pounds Hes danger ously rugged type and should do both the aiilmnres and the league lot or good The Toronto lliarlhoros who usually wind up with all oi the silver wnreexpect deteneemdn Cote to keep the Gardens seals warm Cote played tow games with the Dukes last winter and aiioctod the crowds in two ways illarlia ians loved him Hes hated in the other spots hcs pcrtormed in one oi the iinal appearances oi the Dukes here last season coach Turk Broda opined that Cotell giro anybody rough time No we havcnt forgotten the Barrie Flyers Heres club that could come up with more than couple at top players One is Panagahko from Saskatchewan This boy rated star at last years Boston Bruins train ing camp in Hcrshey Then little Billy Forhan who can score almost as many goals as he wants to when he wants to should be in for dandy reason Danny Patrick has all of the go power of jet Jimmy Josephson will be looking tor hig season after several months oi mediocrity last winter Dale Rolfe if he can put totwork the know ledge he has gained under Hap Emms could rip the league apart Bab alaekhurn may stand numerous opponents on their ears it only tow oi these boys actually develop into leaders this winter sndthe others play good sound hockey behind them the Barrie Arena should draw crowds as in days oi old The Petcrborough Pete and the St Mikes Majors dont have any thing too
