Montague’s Minor hockey program will get the benefit of | the gate receipts when Charlo- ttetown Irving Oilers and Mon- tague Primroses tangle in exhibition hockey game Saturday night at Montague rink.

The Oilers have a combina- tion of youth and maturity but the latter group could be a little beyond their peak. At any rate, they intend going all out in an effort to throw the homesters for a loss.

Former president of the Is- land Senior Hockey League, Ivan Doherty, is lining up with the Irving team and Ivan is making some loud boasts about his ability. All this will be told Saturday night.

The Charlottetown team will leave the Irving office at 6 o'- clock Saturday night and ail players are advised to be on hand in plenty of time.
