Trainor Work Appreciated By Grand Falls' Citizens

Following is a leading editorial of appreciation. which appeared in a recent edition of the Grand Falls Advertiser for Charlotte- town horn Weston ”Bucko' Train- or. presently holding the position as Athletic Director in that New- foundland center and former coach of the Charlottetown ls- landers and member of the New York Rangers.

QUITE A Gl'1'l

That is how we think of Wes '1'raiiior. our local Athletic Direc- tor. and while the phrase may not sound very dignified for editorial comment in a reasonably conser- vative Weekly. The Advertiser feels that it describes Wes most gptly and accurately.

There is no doubt about it aly

all, but Wes Trainor is ”quite a

guy.” He is not only a top notch. hockey coach. but is a most dew

nirable and admirable citizen as

well. The men of his hockey and.

baseball senior squads respect him. his Juniors otter him hero worship as viell as respect. and his Little Lcaguers love him. What more can we say of one humble individual. and what more could one poor human want? And if this vtr-re not enough. the peo- ple ol this area. lhosc who act- ually know him. and those who know him only by repute. also hold him in the highest esteem. We write this today. cause Trainor led his Grand Falls All-Stars to victory in their first encounter against the formidable Buchans aggregate. but because we think the time has come to put in print what eieryone is think- in: and saying about our Ath'etic pi.-gator, Hg 5-: labored tire- lessly since (.3 iiing here last June. first with .ummer sports. including baseball for all ages. swimming. haskcthall. fl eld sports. etc. then with hockey. where he really shines. Our Little Leaguers are doing remarkably well Thov are not

kei. btit they are also learning how in ”play the game" well . . . be it hockey or any other sport.

Contrary to almost all expecta- tions. Mr. Trainnr has succeeded in establishing the new type of hm-key rltihs--inter-town competi- tion as against denominational Associations (tone are all the old feuds. without which people said it would be impossible to gel crowds to the games. This vear. with three league teams. Wind- sor. Bishop's Falls and Grand Frills. over 6.000 more fans paid admission to one less game than those attending last season's local league names. inrliidirw the plavnffs. And for a potential in a town of this size. six thousand per-ole is it lot of people. So at last we can sav proudly the "old” club system is gone for- ever. and It newer. brighter. broader era in local sport has dawned.

a large measure to our Athletic Director. not forgetting to pay a tribute to our hockey moguls for their foresight. their courage and

about the happy change. Not only did the new system bring us bet- ter. more balanced hockey. but it wiped out any of the old ran- cour that persisted. and would in- evitably persist. when games are played on a denominational basis.

On briefly reviewing the whole sporting situation in Grand Falls. as it stands today. The Advertiser is proud to record that the pic- ture is brighter than it has ever

and not because we have hopes of being victorious against out- side competition. Apart entirely .from who wins the All-Newfound- (land titles in the hockey arena ifthough we would not be human

if we did not hope to emerge victorious) this season. Grand Falls -is a much better and hap- gpier place because we are a more active and up-and-coming group of people-and a very great deal of this is dtie to an enthusiastic. .tircless. big-hearted individual ifrom Prince Edward Island-Wes lTrainor whom all Grand Falls lhopes will long remain among us. We can ill afford to lose men like

zwes who is doing so much for us.
