Stanley Cup colorful past 15 By ED HARPER Chay The Stanley Cup emblematic of the Worlds profes sional championship wi soon be determined lot of hockey has been played since Lord Stanley gave $50 gift which was used to buy cup that was named after him The facts involving the donation of the cup and the ex traordinary shift in the ownership of hockeys most prized possession are as follows Lord Kilcoursie later Lord Craven Field Marshall in the British Army during World War was in Canada in 1890 and became interested in hockey When he had gained enough knowledge of the game to play with fair bit of finess the members of the Rebels Hockey Club in the On tario Hockey Association had him join their team Leaniing that the brave lads had previously been con testing for nothing more than the honor and glory associated with winning Lord Kilcoursie communicated with his friend Lord Stanley and in response the $50 was donated and the trophy was bought trophy that was to become the most prized possession in all of hockey At first the Stanley Cup was emblematic of the amateur worlds championship but late in the 90s some of the star amateur hockey players who were desired by opposition teams were offered money to jump This actually made them professionals Through the late 90s and until about 1908 teams presum ed to be purely amateur outfits actually had anywhere from one to four professionals in the lineup But no one fussed about it The had no simon pure scruples in hockey in that era Along in 1908 the organization that is now the National Hockey League NHL was formed and became profes sional circuit In 1911 there was created the Pacific oast League another professional unit which started play with the 191112seasoii At the end of the year the Pacific Toast championship team challenged the National Hockey League winner for championsip game to decide possession of the Stanley Cup The trustees of the cup objected at once claiming that the cup was for amateur competition only The pro leagues retaliated by minting out that for many years the different clubs which won the cup had been at least partly profes sional and that to ban wholly professional teams from comlt petition was hypocrisy The trustees finally yielded to the logic of he situation The pros played for the cup got it and it has been pro fessional trophy ever since Second in importance only to the Stanley Cup in annual competition is the Allan Cup donated for amateur competi tion in the senior class The trophy was gift of Sir Montagu Allan of Montreal The first teams to win the trophy were ttawa liffsides in 1908 and Queens University in 1909 It is interesting to note that ice hockey as played in Canada and the USA had its European debut in Belgium and France in 1907 31 The following year the Lige lnternat ionale de Hockey sur Glace was formed in Paris for the purpose of developing the sport throughout Europe Representatives from France Belgium England Switzerland and Bohemia later zechoslovakiai attended and these countries became charter members Other nations affiliated with this amateur hockey group were Germany 9091 and Russia i1911i But hockey in Europe did not gain its real impetus until anada and the USA sent teams to compete in the Olympics at Antwerp in 1920 The progress of the European teams since then has been splendid and it seems that it will only be short time until the European teams come into the NHL and maybe thc old Stanley up will add yet more history by travelling to Europe Zone gymnastics title is won by Barrie Central

games As it turned out the series was real homer affair with all games decided on home ice little more depth and fourgoal spree in the third period boosted Stayner over Tavistock It probably was one of the better games played in Stayner this year noted coach Paul Carruthers Stayncr trailed 21 at the end of the first eriod and 43 heading into final period Four straight goals propelled the Siskins in front to stay John Nixon Rick Hannon Brent Dobson Bill Priddle Jim Haliday Brian Coker and Brian Franklin scored for Stayncr It was fast game lot of good body checks were thrown Carruth ers said Siskins open bestofseven final against Exeter about 40 miles west of London Sunday on the road Second games is in Stayncr Monday beginning at 15 pm Carruthers thought Siskins had the edge in play with their depth Stayner had the habit of outscoring their opposition in the third eriod They fairly balanced hockey club except that we ust had little more depth an they did Siskins have won the all
