However it is planned to go even further and hold a bantam hbckey tourna- ment, This wn! give the youngsters too young ior midget hodtey a chance to show their stuff and will give nearly every boy in town a chance to play. A girls’ hockey tournament is also planned. The cooperation of the Provincial De- partment of Physit a1 Fitness will be sought in carrying out this pro- gram.

Registration for the teams is to commence immediately and will conclude on November 30th Boys wvisiring to oirry junior.
