been received from the executive the P. E. Islanders' Hockey Club:

"Immediately following the an- nual meeting of -the P. E. Island- ers' Hockey Club in June last. at which time the present directors were elected. and as soon as the new officers had been chosen. a committee of the Executive met with our auditors to attempt to figure out with pencil and paper whether or not the Club could actually continue to function at all another season from a financial point of view. Faced with a large deficit from last season and a somewhat smaller one from the year before, the Executive real- lized that it would be extremely unwise, if not impossible. to at- tempt to carry on Major Hockey again this season should the pros-

ect be another deficit or, more likely, failure in mid-season. '

”(5) An inventory of equipment on hand at the start of the sea- son was prepared under the Ex- ecutive's direction and the pur- chase of new equipment has only been authorized when absolutely necessary. Orders have been issued that no player, trainer or coach can charge the Club for any pur- chase without first securing a. written requisition signed by the Secretary-Treasurer. All items of equipment purchased to date have been paid for in cash and it is our intention to continue to operate on a pay as we go basis.

Weston tBucko) Trainor and Phil Vitsle for the job of playing coach. Vitals while still under contract to the Club wrote us to say that if we didn't give him the job as play- ing coach he wouldn't return to play in this city under any cir- cumstances. While the wisdom of bringing him back as I. player has been the subject of much debate not only within the-Executive but also among hockey fans in general. the fact remains that he has since persistently refused to return to this Club and only two weeks ago stated on the telephone to a member of the Executive that if we didn't release him to Valley- field he would "hang up my skates for the rest of the season."

"We were fortunate to secure the services of Erwin Groves (Murph) Chamberlain as coach and we feel that the hockey public generally approved our action in this respect. The team under eoach Chamberlain has already be- gun to recapture some of the fight- ing spirit which carried it to Lea- gue leadership in the fall of 1950 and we feel that with his able and experienced hand at the helm our chances of proceeding against the winners of the Quebec Loa- gue come next March are excel- lent indeed.

Meuuru Adopted

"In order to place the oper- ation of the Club on a more busi- ness like basis the Executive has taken the following measures:

"(D Plt)'ei'I' salaries have been reduced over last year and none hev xfeen signed to a salary ex- ceed.i g the ceiling limit imposed by the league. The weekly pay- roll to date has averaged at least seven hundred dollars less than last years payroll.

would be lightly regarded. At this very appropriate time a. group of ardent hockey fans in this city have come to us unsolicited and volunteered to raise the necessary funds for this purpose. They have founded an Islanders' Booster Club. They want the Isianderr Hockey team of 1952-58 to be the best in the league and they are prepared to give of their time and efforts to assist in making it so. The Executive have been greatly encouraged by their initiative and timely assistance. They have our full support in their endeavour to give us the additional strength that will make our team-and yours- one of which the Island fans can be justly proud regardless of whom we should meet in com- petition.

Methods of Assistance

"There are a number of ways in which hockey fans and the gen- eral public can assist the Execu- tive of the Club in its endeavour to put hockey on a permanent and succeuful basis in this common. ity of ours. Here are some which have occurred to us:

"l. First and foremost by your faithful attendance at the home games played by the Islanders' hockey team. And if you can per- suade a friend who hasn't been following the hockey to go along. you might find that he or she will return again to another game without an invitation.

”2. By contributing to the Booster Club if they contact you, but, if you are unable to con- tribute, by giving them encourage- ment and not abuse.

"3. Don't undermine our coach's efforts by-to use a. barracks room expression-"agitating" the play- ers. Dissention among the mem- bers of the team did equally as much perhaps to defeat the Is- landers of 1951-52 as Danny Nixon and Company. Team spirit car- ried us to the top in 1950-51, we can recapture it again this year. By all means boo or cheer the players on the ice-thatls your privilege-but please don't teeny it into your contacts with 1 the players in the restaurants, shops and private homes. Let the coach "coach" the team. That's his job -he is being paid for it-and he is more qualified to do it than you and I."
