Senior Hockey League may become farm leaiii for the Barrie Flyers The Flyers have dealt Jack Smith loii Hammond Bob Monteith and torby Adams to the lerriers Adams was dealt to the Terriers last year but ended up playing for Brantford last season Adams signed with Orillia earlier this season The most recent deal that of Hammond is probably good move The Flyers are deep in centremcn and Ham itioiid would have been the tifth tnfortunately the Flyers cannot afford to sell too many players The team is in one of the wars slumps in the clubs history and need all the help they can get Hammond may have been an extra player but perhaps the Flyers should have traded him ash and future tOltSitltttt tioiis were the terms of the deal but what the Flyers need now is ablehtxhed men particularly defencemeii tash will always come in handy and future LOllSltltlIL tioiis may help the team in the future but the Flyers SMITH Sold need help now Obviously the signing of Tannahill will help the Flyers but the
