Black Will Not

lleium This Season

The hopes of the Islanders Hockey club that Edmonton's left winger Jolmny Black might. be back with the team for the play- offs, were dashed to the ground last night when Forum manager W. .1. "Bill" Brown received a telegram from Black that read as follows: "Will be unable to play on knee this year."

In a telephone conversation with the local Forum manager last week. Black had intimated that there might be a chance of him xct:irnir.g if the knee (just operat- ed on rcceriily) held up under a few practice skating sessions that hi doctor had given him permis- sion to undertake. Mr. Brown stated last night that "apparently the test didn't take. and I'll prob- ably get a letter from Johnny in the near future giving fuller de- tails of the experiment."

The re-instated pro came to the Islandors Club in December from the Vancouver Canucks in a player trade for defenceman Kevin "Crusher" Conway. and had only played two games with the team before suffering furthco: hurt to an old knee injury. ,

The Maritime Major Hockey League schedule will launch into its second last week of competit- ion here at the Forum tonight when the Islanders play host to the visiting Moncton Hawks in what will be the third last meet- ing between the two clubs. The Islanders will meet the Hawks again at Moncton on Feb. 21th.. and will have one more home game with the cellar dwellers. is postponed contest from Jan. 30th., the date of play not having been decided upon yet. The game to- night will only leave six games each to be played in the remain- ing section of the schedule before playoff time. scheduled for either the second or third of March.

0 O 0

According to coach Lamoureux, he will be icing the strongest squad possible here tonight in an effort to garner one of the two wins needed to put the Islanders out of reach of second place Hall- fax for the first place position in the league race. and to atone for their 8-2 defeat at the hands of Hawks at Moncton last Friday night.

0 C O The game should be a good contest here tonight. Although

Moncton lost a 7-3 verdict to Saint Mary's on Saturday, the Hawks were really in the game for two and a half periods before wilting under a. powerful Halifax scoring spree that netted them six quick goals. They had battled Halifax to a. 1-1 draw in the first canto. played to a scoreless second frame and banged in two quick goals in the early part of the third for a. 3-1 edge before Saints lowered the boom. t O O 0 There will also be an added feature on the program for attend- ing fans. when the Labor Union boys (L.P.U.) will tangle with the City Employees in a return Broom Ball contest that prom- ises plenty in the way of fun and top notch entertainment. The special contest will get underway at eight o'clock and will last for a half-hour of three, ten-minute periods. It was just a week ago Monday that the boys played their first contest. and those that saw it, have been clamoring for more ever since. 0 0

Well there is little doubt that Roy "Buck" will be the Maritime Major llockey League's scoring ace again this season. and with it will be setting a new all-time high in Maritime hockey circles, The sharpshootlng Charlotteton- lan. who has been sparking Big Four clubs from his pivot posit- ion for the past four or five years, jumped his leadership another three points on Saturday night and now has the large total of 117 scoring points to his credit.

I O 0

Although the league has a larg- er playing schedule this year than ever before. 78 games per team. Whltlock has nevertheless done better than in previous years in the way of polntgettlng. Leading the loop with Saint John last sea- son with a. total of 113 points in 59 games played out of a schedilled 72. Whltlock has only played one more game to data than last year, but has four more points to his credit. In the" same number of sums played (69) up to last Thursday, Buck still had his last years total topped by one point.

0 O I

Up to and including Saturday night's game against Islanders Whltlock has a scoring record of 53 goals and 64 assists for 117 points. while his winning summary last season was 64 goals and 49 assists for 113 points, which shows him 11 less in goals scored as compared with last year. but up on assists by 16.

Major T. B. "Tom" Rogers. President of the P. E. Islanders Hockey Club gave a large galli- ering of shareholders is pleasant surprise here last nlkht at I special hockey meeting when he stated that "three or more un- known supporters have backed the Islanders Hockey Club's fin- ances to the extent Of 36.000"

The statement was made follow- ing a not so bright financial statement which showed that the Ciub had a deficit of 54.25351 held in the form of an overdraft at the Bank of Montreal as of Saturday, Feb. 17th. The finan- cial statement issued was endor- sed by H. R. Donne and Com- pany, Charlottetown, chartered accountants who are handling all the Club's financial affairs.

The special meeting, presided over by President Rogers. was held at the Clover Club and was called by the executive to discuss with the shareholders the present financial status of the Club and to devise ways and means of raising funds to offset their pre- sent financial deficit.

In making the statement, Major

Islanders Hockey Club Receive h6,000 Loan From Unnamed Backers

Rogers said that he did not know the names of the backers but that they are known to one or two members of the 9X9W”V9 and that the specified amount of 36,000 hng been pledged "with no strings attached" in the 1101105 that the Club will make an hon- est effort to repay it through playoff receipts or by other means that the Club mlaht ll9' Vise to pay it off.

On the motion of the meetlllk a twom-an committee of Dr. Roy Kennedy and Dr. L. E. Prowse was appointed to wait on His Worship Mayor B. Earle Mac- Donald to ask him to head a fin- anelal campaign to put the club on a financially sound basis. The committee will report to the Club Executive following their aud- ience with Mayor MacDonald and is future meeting will be held to discuss the manner in which the financial campaign will be carried out.

A number of other matters dealing with club affairs were also brought up and discussed but no definite decisions were reached at last night's meeting.

It looks very much like the Moncton Hawks, who will be making their second last appear- ance over Charlottetown ice be- fore playoff time. will make it a real battle here tonight at the Forum when they clash with the league leading Islanders in a regular Maritime Major senior Hockey League contest at 8:30.

The cellar dwellers have been looking more than impressive during recent games. They down- ed Islariders by an 8-2 count over Moncton ice last Friday night and went on to wallop Saint John Beavers 6-1 again over Moncton

ice last night. Although both the Islanders and Beaver teams were playing

considerably understrength due to illness and injuries in their re- spective clashes. the Moncton squad nevertheless made impress- ive showlngs in both matches. and should make it 2: real match here tonight when they meet the Islanders.

Lunoureux To Play Tonight

Coach Leo Lamoureux of the Islanders stated last night that he will ice the strongest lineup possible for tonight's clash and that he will don a uniform him- self to assist his team to victory over Moncton.

There will also be the added at- traction of a. return Broom Ball game between the City Employ- eos and the I... P. U. that will get underway a half hour previous (8 o'clock) to scheduled game time and promises plenty of fun and entertainment for attending hoc- key fans. -

February 9. when the Islanders means of -transportation. a chartered bus, was stolen from its parking lot:-

"On Friday. Feb. 9, the hockey clu-b I coach and manage - namely the P.E. Islanders Hockey Omb- were unfortunate enough when in Halifax to have their means of transportatloti stolen. That is, when we were ready to proceed to Charlottetown from Halifax the morning following a game the bus had been removed from its park- ing space. Naturally this caused some consternation. and when word got around the city numerous re- porters appeared at the hotel look- ing for an interview, and I have been credited with melting the statement that Hive have had games stolen from us and now the only thing left to steal was our bus!
