DUPLATE HOCKEY LEAGUE 'S 1965 -66 CHAMPIONS Now Intermediate Hockey Big Thing In P.E.I. Loops side, P.E.1., Junior Canadiens, By NICK FILLMORE CHARLOTTETOWN (CP)-- Senior hockey, now a thing of the past in Prince Eward Is- land, has been replaced in the last 10 years by the greatest surge in intermediate hockey _ the province has ever experi- enced, Construction of more than a dozen new rinks--outdoor, in- door and artificial -- in all areas of the province has lured many of the 106,000 is- landers to take to the ice. Most communities have their own amateur teams where participation, not perfection, is the key word. i Twenty-seven of the esti- mated 60 teams above the mi- nor classification play in the intermediate B and C brack- ets, organized by the P.E.I, branch of the Amateur Ath- letic Union of Canada and the provincial department of physical education. Teams play up to 20 games a season in several district leagues. League champion- ship and provincial trophies are vigorously contested. "Anyone who can lace on a pair of skates is playing this year," David Boswell, provin- cial director of physical edu- cation, said in an interview. "We were sorry to see senior hockey fall apart but we're very pleased with the devel- opments thr ave taken place," SET SIGHTS TOO HIGH Senior hockey had its last glittering days in Prince Ed- ward Island in the late 1940s and early 1950s when Char- lottetown Islanders played in families.

But the Big Four, consist- | ing of Saint John, N.B., Syd- | ney, N.S., Halifax and the Is- | landers, was forced to fold when players began demand- ing upwards of $150 a week, If clubs couldn't pay the big money they often lost players to Quebec, Ontario and: the United States. Attendances decreased and clubs went bankrupt. A lower calibre of senior hockey hung on in Prince Edward Island for a number of years with sponsors suf- fering substantial losses. The island had its own intermedi- ate A League in the late 1950s but that didn't work either. Teams still lost money. Finally Charlottetown Roy- als, refused entry into the Maritime Senior League he- cause of travelling difficul- ties, entered Maritime play offs in 1963-64. Royals got past Sydney but were then whipped by the _ powerful Windsor, N.S., Maple Leafs. | "It's doubtful if P.E.1, will | be back in senior hockey for | a number of years," said Boswell, a part - time scout for Boston Bruins of the NHL. "Senior hockey has killed itself here and in all areas of the Maritimes." Besides an active interme- diate program, P.E.I. now has a promising four-team junior league in Charlotte- town and teams in all major junior and senior high schools. x "The minor programs are producing some top - calibre prospects," said Boswell. "It won't be long before the pro | teams begin realizing that there is plenty of young hockey talent in Prince Ed- ward Island." The island province now has only one player in the National Hockey League, Forbes Kennedy of Boston Bruins, but Boswell said oth- ers may be on their way. He said Billy MacMillan of Char- lottetown, with the Canadian National Team, is a top pro-- fessional prospect, and Paul MacWilliams and George MacNeil, | _ both of Summer- REMEMBER WHEN ...?
