_ SUMMERSIDE got the 1959-60 hockey season away in great _styfe last night at Civic Stadium and now it remains for Char lotfétown to do a repeat tonight when Lorne Hennessey’s Perfec- Penguins cross sticks with Angie Carroll's and Sandy Frizzell’s

*Folks in and around Summrside made last night’s opening ‘eerémonies a real success and they have indeed thrown out a challenge for fans in this section of the province to come ‘through with a similar showing.

And we think that they will. ' ‘

IT’S BEEN @ long, long time stace’a league went into bust- ness on such solid footing. We shudder when we think of some of

se leagues in the past, leagues that were destined ‘ only and that was failure. No such thing should be in for the Island Senior Hockey League of 1959-60 because a amount of preparatory work has gone into its formation.

*Players on the four teams seem to realize fully that this son's operations are going to, be conducted on business-like These players know they have am executive that will attend to evefy detail. Things will not work out by chance. There'll be order all*the way, otherwise president Ivan Doherty and his associates will not have anything to do with the league.

“Fans should also. know by this time that every possible Measure is being taken to insure them first class hockey entertainment all through the winter months.

‘-OF COURSE the best executive in the world -caii’t make a hockey league. These leaders are indeed a most important part but they must receive fullest- coo) ion from both players and fans. It’s a three-cornered affa ecutive all in leading roles.

:

2We feel certain that the players and the éxecutive are.,deter-

mined to go all out-to do their part to insure a successful on. What is. needed now is the attendance at hockey games

in Charlottetown and Summerside. : Both these centres have demonstrated in the past that when

see that everybody means business they are most certainly to wend their way to the Civic Stadium and the Sports Arena. That’s all that is needed now to put things over with a bang.

ANGIE CARROLL and Lorne Hennessey, the rival coaches, re optimistic about their chances for tonight. Both these gentle- men want to make good. -impressions before the home fans and tonight is the time to start.. ‘

Carroll announced yesterday that he would start ‘Butch’ Ward in the nets. ‘Butch’ performed with Garrison Juniors last season and made good throughout the year. .

_ Defence protection will ‘be looked after by Ralph Josey, Kip Ready, Stu MacLure and possibly—Bert Steele. The veteran Steele may not get into action for some time yet but coach Car- roll-maintains Bert is really looking great in recent workouts. .

Up front the Royals have three good looking lines. The old lamplighter. Roy ‘Buck’ Whitlock will centre Angie Carroll and young Freddy Burke.’ Willie Dunn will act in a similar capacity for ‘Buck’ Davey and Wally Shepherd and Gerald Cftuwys will eentre Dick Carroll and young Stan Pearden. .

This team certainly doesn’t took like any pushover ne

AT THE OTHER END of the rink, Lorne Hennessey has Thane Doyle back again guarding the twines. Doyle, a top notch netminder, is making a comeback after one year’s absence from competition.

On defence the Penguins present a solid quintet headed by eaptain Junior MacLeod. His associates are -Jimmy Duffy,” Merle Longaphie, Doug Williams and Joe Coyle. Joe has shed about 25 pounds in the last while and-is dead serious about gett- ing. into real playing shape this season. That’s good news for

_ Hennessey and bad news for forwards on opposing teams.

, Hennessey appears to have-plenty of scoring punch on the forwards lines. Jack Kane wili pivot Merril Pineau and Apps Arsenault. Next comes Billy Hughes at centre with, Brian Lewis ii his ‘wings. The-other line is composed of with brother Vince at left wing and Wayne MacDonald on right. This last line will be ‘a real kid line but it should provide Hennessey with plenty of scoring punch.

So there you have tonight’s opponents—two hockey clubs that should come through with the type of performance that at- tracts the cash customers. :

"MINOR HOCKEY ACTIVITY is in full swing in both Char- lottetown and Summerside and over 1000 youngsters are particip- ating in the fun.

Promoters in both centres are deserving of congratulations on the efficient manner in which there programs are run off. It's a huge task looking after this great number of young hockey play- ers but those at the helm keep going year after year.

Many of the younger children probably don’t fully appreciate the time and energy their coaches are putting into these games Probably many parents believe that hockey programs such as these just naturally go on by themselves. However, there is ‘nothing farther from the truth, as much planning is necessary in order to have mammoth undertakings like these run smoothly and the programs in Charlottetown and Summerside do run

iy.

Parents shouldn’t just take these things for granted. They should at least show enough interest in the work that is being carried out by .going to the Sports Arena and Civic Stadium and see for themselves just what is going on. :

Surely if-other folks are good enough to look after your kid- dies in hockey for the winter. months, it’s not too much to ex- pect that you as parents attend most of the games in which your children participate.

Think it over. If you really do, then the fan interest at these

*Lorne’s charges helped the Sum- merside team get the lid off the loop last night in Summerside’s Civie Stadium. j

Both teams are confident they can skate away with the verdict. Each outfit has looked good in workouts and is really set for the all-Charlottetown battile. Car- roll and Hennessey will have a feud all of their own going this season as they try their best to

outfox the other in this four- team league. :

Interest appears greater than ever before that is as far as local hockey 'is concerned. The executive, headed by Ivan Doherty has done a great job of putting the league om a sound} basis and fans are looking for- ward to a season which should give them top entertainment.

You can bet that all throughout the schedule the rivalry will be raatly something between. the Royals and the Penguins. Each team will be out to prove it’s the tops from the capital and that kind of spirit should be a great benefit to the hockey-mind- ed public.
