The last game of the 1054-55 hockey season (until we get arti- ficial ice one year covers the season pretty well) will take place at the Raceway Stadium tonight. The game will be be- tween the Montague Primroses and a junior hockey team from Summerside. Because this terri- tory is a little scarce of juniors of sufficient experience to take on the Montague club. Ron Mc- Arihur and Paul Schurman will be used to bolster the local boys. The movement is strictly jounlor. however. and it is hoped to put away a litle nest egg from the receipts of the evening to start a junior hockey club next year. Some of the juniors for this game will be recruited from surround- ing districts. and Glen Gamble. that sensational goalie who per- formed so well with O'Leary this

year, is expected to be in the nets. 0 O 0 Joe Hunter is putting on a

really ambitious boxing and wrestling card in the recreation hall at the RCAF Station in Sum- merside on April 1. Jerry Allard and Ken Greer, those two local grunters and groaners who put on such a crowd-pleasing exhibi- tion with the Bablneau brothers last year, will be in the ring grappling with Chuck Brown of Kitchener. Ont.. and Danny Mc- Cowell of Hamilton. Ont. There will be two other wrestling events. The boxing section headlines J. Lewis of the H.M.C.S. Haida. and C. Kowalsky of I-l.M.C.S. Micmac in s 5-rounder. There will be five other bouts, one of them featur- ing two young lads from the local station. If this card comes any- where near in entertainment value to the card last year which fea- tured the Babineau boys, you'd better be there April 1 or this time-honored day will be dedi- cated in you.
