SPORTS FRONT

By PIUS CALLAGHAN

This Is The Night

THIS Is the night that Ivan Doherty has been waiting for all season. At least it's supposed to be the night unless a group of hOCKe'i’ists from Dartmouth known as Hoyt's Movem decid. not to co-operate.

Yes. the time has arrived to crown 01d Spain Penguins champions of junior hockey in the Maritime provinces and that celebration is on tap for tonight if ‘Bucko’ Trainor and his band can pick can pick up another triumph against these Nova Scotia champions.

After those 8-! and 7-8 verdicts in Dartmouth and Halifax. we‘d be more than a little amazed if the crowning ceremony didn‘t go on as scheduled at Earl Nicholson's icehouse tonight.

MR. Doherty. that pepperpot promoter who makes NHL pubic relations men look like pikers, hasn't stopped talking since that 5-3 decision over Fredericton Monarchs in the New Brunswick capital last Thursday night. That contest Ivan on the warpath and he's been singing the praises of his Baby Birds ever since. Mind you. he didn’t need any encouragement at that. All season long. Ivan has 'been in our ear telling. us about the greatness of is Island Junior squad. His adaectivee were numerous and he tossed them around With reckless aban- don. "You can't say too much about these Penguins he would tell us. “They‘ll not let you down. you can be sure about that.

And so all sport writers in the provmce agreed to jump on Ivan's bandwagon and they were all hoping the wagon would end up in the right spot. There were a few roug bumps on the road (especially In that Fredericton series) but now it ap- pears as though the wagon will reach the end of a most success- ful journey tonight at The Sports Arena.

It's Expected

YOU can hardly blame anybody for expecting the Penguins to grab the Maritime crown tonight. After all. those convincing wins on Nova Scotia ice seems to establish them as top heavy favorites to close out this Maritime show tonight. We Just can‘t see these Movers doing anything but losing tonight to the Old Spainers.

Usually if folks think a game is really in the bag. they’ll not show up for the attraction. But this one is entirely different. Local hockey fans have been waiting a long, long time for a Maritime junior champion and now that they appear to have it The Sports Arena should be packed for the crowning ceremony. Everywhere you go folks are talking about the Juniors and those talking are most likely to be present tonight for what they expect will be the grand finale...

li’s An Island Effort

REMEMBER this junior effort is by no means}: Charlotte- town one only. Five Summerside boys are making a. eat contribution to the squad. Indeed the leading character in this show is that outstanding defenceman from the western capital. Lloyd ‘Toy Toy‘ Gallant. Ably assisting the_ Penguins' cause are fellows like Ronnie Gallant, Dave Martin. Willie Gallant and Dave Gaudet. The latter is sidelined by injury and is not likely to see action in remaining games this season

Ivan Doherty. coach Wes Trainor and manager Myron Bell. all are deeply appreciative of the assistance from Summerside toward this junior squad. They have never once tried to play it up as anything else but a provincial junior squad. one that all Islanders could indeed be pron of.

And so Summerside folks will undoubtedly join with Char- lottetonians tonight in packing The Sports Arena for this all- important clash. They. like the capital city folks, are anxious to be present for the coronation and everything points to such a ceremony taking place at approximately 9:30 tonight. .

And after that. it's the Ottawa Valley with Doheity lead- ing the contingent and doing his best to steal the spotlight away from the federal election campaign. e Penguins public rela- tions man will give these sportswriters around Ottawa quite an earful, They may mistake him for a big oil mam from Texas.

And after all, he’s an oil man from Charlottetown

DON’T let these Penguins down. Join with them tonight in their celebration. Let's pack The Sports Arena to the rafters.
