Charlottetown and Island hockey fans let their first chance of the season to see a hockey game to- night when the Montreal Junior Canadiens come t0ukOWIl to play a hand-picked Island team at the Sports Arena.

Led by Charlottetown's Forbie Kennedy the Montreal aggregation are a power-packed outfit and will he the most powerful junior squad to visit Charlottetown since the day .l3M0d 11 area siirifou iaooi out uaqm in Canadian junior hockey.

Sixteen island players. mostly from Charlottetown and Summer- aide were chosen from a large turn- out at the Arena last week by coach Walter Lawlor and they will be further strengthened by an addit- ional four players from the Canad- iens. As yet it has not been dis- closed who the players will be but it that the Rocket. a l:i-year-vet- of the Mtmtrealers who will line up with the locals.

While Kennedy is the high scorer on the team the Canadiens are by no means lacking in other scoring strength. In 17-year-old Ralph Rack- strom the Canadiens have one of the brightest stars currently per- forming on the Canadian hockey scene. Ralph does triple time, with the Canadians. in addition to his regular shift at centre he acts as penalty killer and also plays thel point on power plays.

Another player who has caught the interest of local fans is Claude Richard 17-year-old in r o t h e r of i Maurice and Henri. Reports have it that the Rockey. a 13-year vet- eran in the N.H.L. and the "Pock- et Rocket". a first year rookie in the N.H.L. Canadiens, will have to move over in a couple of years to make room for their younger brother who has been improving fast. ,

Sports writers in Montreal ancll

elsewhere have been working atl,

the task of picking a nickname to fit Claude. From time to time he has been tabbed with "Vest Pocket Rocket" and "Socket Pocket Rock- et" "Pick Pocket Rocket" and a host of others.

The local squad will be a little!
