Statement To Public By Islanders Hockey Club

Great. satisfaction has been ex- prcssed hy thousands of fans at the return of big time hockey to this Province. This feeling is pronounced in practically every section of the Island. and spec- tators from extreme east and west and intermediate Points are found at the contests in this City.

This happy result is due to the initiative nf the islanders Hockey flltib. who at grr-at expense of lime and r-ffnrt. have produced in (ram of outstanding talent. ac- claimed in all parts of fhc Mari- times. and held In high regard by Island hockey lovers.

it is generally understood that the cost. of operation is high. To carry this expense :4 reasonable spectator charge was fixed. At thn outset. the impression left with the Club directors was that no amusement. tax would he rol- l4-rtcd and on this bclicf the schedule was begun. However. the Club Directors have been noti- fied that the tax will have .10 be paid on each game so far play- ed. and all future games. The Government. tax is twenty-five

com: on 51.50 tickets. seventc:-n ('('lllS on 31.00 tickets. and fif- tecn-cents on .85 tickets.

The Islanders Club feels that It is unable. to pay this tax on each game. and believes that the pub- lic. will be pleased to contribute an that opcration can ,be contin- ued.

The Directors therefore are asking that spectators pay ten cents on each ticket purchased.

equipping, transporting malntcnancc of the Club runs at so substantial a sum that the Directors are confident the public will be.glnd to pay this additional ten cents to permit the Cluh'lo operate at its present successful level.

Club members. coach and mem- bers of the hockey team have fully co-operated in the creation of a team which has come to be thP pride of Islanders. The pub- licity value of the success of the local team is enormous. The press not, only in the Maritime-s, but aQoss,Canadn have carried many fluttering notices.

It is doubtful If any single lactor has done more to favor- ably publicize the Island Prov- lnce than the exploits of a team which has come to mean so much

Two lcsscs tor Islanders and as

many wins for Halifax during track-end play in Maritime Senior Hockey League competition has made a drastic change in the Lamourcux-coached squad's stran- gle hr-Ed on the league leadership nrrr the second place Santama- riuns. Picking tip four points to add to their standing in Friday and Sattird-ay night games, Saint Mary's liavc narrowed down a wide 11- point gap bcviweeii the two clubs in now trail by seven poitii.s. the lowest since islanders chalked up their 10-game winning streak early in the season.

With wins coming harder as t-he season progresses. a three and a not any too much to come and go on and the Islanders are really going to have to sit up and take not.F,".e i-f they cxpzct to stay up on top of the .-tanrling C-lv:lC21(l of a much improved last year's M. S. H. L. championship agziegatloti. 1n the past six starts lfalifax has won four, tied one and lost one. while the locals have won two. ticd one and lost three. This shows a marked improve- ment in the performance of the Saint Mary's squad of late. tv-htlc Islanders showing is a long shot from what it was earlier in the sca- son.

Of course this is no more than can be expected. A team can't be in the winning bracket all the time, and if they were it would be an uninteresting league to follow. WhcnChani-bervlain first put the

Jnhnny Duchahhusky Islanders : islanders on tile road there is no

fl0Ll:'.)l. about it that they were the best conditioned team in the cir- ct'-tt and were having little diffi- culy in piling up a substantial lea- gue lead over the other three clubs. But l'lOlV 1l1t'sc teams are reaching the peak of their condition too. and are hitting their seasonal stride to make every game a battle before it is decided, which in the inter- ests of good hockey, is as it should be. . . .

The boys who are carrying the Islanders colors are a fast skating. rugged outfit, and you can't let a few losses take that away from them. They have what it takes to pack cvery rink in the Marltimcs with their performance and that same calibre of penformance is go- ing to ma-ke any team in the lcaguc stop if they are harboring -any thoughts of distputin-g their present league leadership.

Their last. two losses have been closc. ones, both by a one-goal margin. In fact. those two losses have been so similar in every re- spect. that they are to be viewed with 51 point of interest more than the fact that they have been losses for the local Club. In the Friday night game here against Halifax. the Islanders led by one goal well into the second fr e before their rivals deadlwked the count. and battled it out at bbos even terms until late in the flna seg-ion before llalifax garnered the winning counter. one of those goals coming while the locals play- ed two men short.

It was the same story again on Saturday at Moncton. Islanders picked up the only first period tal- ly and led by that margin until nearly the midway mark in the third before I-Iawks garnered the tying goal while Islanders were playing 11 man short. With the game progressing into the final minute of play in a 1-1 stalemate that looked like a deadringer for an overtime session, Mousey Dowllng. who started the season with Islanders. fired the wlnnlm marker for Hawks while Islanders again played a man short.

But even a loss has its funny side. because it means a Victory for the other team-and that win meant a lot to Monotdn fans and the cellar-dvwelllng Hawks. It was the first time this season that Moncton fans have seen their home team score I victory over the Islanders on Moncton ice. That. fact has resulted in I falling off of attendances at. the Hub city rink. and nobody who follow: hockey needs to be reminded that such I situation as that can easily spell "flnls" to any club if they don't got the support of. the .rash customer.

That victory over the Islanders may be just the shot In the arm that has been eded to renew public interest at Moncton games and will strengthen the efforts of the Hawks to pull themselves out of their losing slump. A few more wins like that could put the Mime- tonlana right. into the picture into but let's hope that they VoI'l't be all at the expense of the Islanders.

Kevin "Crusher" Conway. color- ful 20-year-old Islanders defence- man. may be leaving the local squad to join the professional ranks on the west Coast it was learned iiere last. night.

Following up on rumors float- ing about the City, Club President Major T. B. Rogers confirmed last night that Conway has had an of- fer from former coach Murph Chamberlain to join the Vancouver

Canucks of the Pacific Coast Hockey League. "If: is entirely up to Conway

himself" Major Rogers stated last night. "If he has an opportunity more advaiitageotis to his future hockey czurcer. we won't stand in his way." President Rogers stressed the point, however, that there have been ii lot of rumors making the rounds that Conway had been in contact with Chamberlain over the situiitioii. '”I'liis is not so." Maj- Rogers said, "neithcr Conway

negotiations, but was brought about. when coach Leo Lamoureux received a telegram from Chamber- lain last. week. making an offer for Conway's trelcase."

Major Rogers informed this pap- cr that under the present player regulations "if we let. it player go to the pro ranks, we will he allow- ed to lring in n repliicrmeni, and if Conway decides to take the of- fer. we'll probably bring in anoth- er forward.” Continuing, he said

iCanadien.s Get Sweet lReven.ge For Saturday's

DETROIT, Dec. 3-(CF)-Mom treal Canaciiens got sweet revenge for last. night's '1-t drubbing by the Detroit Red Wings as they walloped the Detroiters 4-1 tonight. in a National Hockey League game before 12,616 fans.

Canndiens broke loose with a three-goal. onslaught midway in ,the final period to rreak up a 1-1 ldeadlock and sooth their hurt 1fee1ings after last n,Lght."s. whipp-

trig.

' Rookie Tom Johnson was the Hi: gun in the wlnners' attack and defence alike. He poked in what proved to he the winning goal at 8:22 with a sizzling 30-footer that

opened the door for Montrealts victory rally. And he played a lasuislng, rugged defencs game

breaking up several key Detroit plays with his hard-checking tac- tics.

The Canadians played stubborn 'defenslve hockey all night long as they handed Detroit. its second set- back in 11 home games.

Maurice Richard and Baldy Mac- Kay added the other Canadien goals in that game-winning up- rising. Twelve penalties were called in the rough. hard-fought game. Prystat tallied the Detroit

goal. Elmer Lach scored in the first period for the Canadlens. But top honors unquestionably

went to Johnson. whose scrappy hard-checking game drew the wrath of the big crowd down on his head.

Johnson's play was invaluable to Canadien goalie Gerry McNeil who had to make 34 saves. while Detroit's Terry Sawchuk was kick- ing out 23.

THE HOCKEY SITUATION

Sir.-As I keen follower. and supporter, of the brand of hockey being played here I feel that there are a few questions which should be answered.

Last week we were informed through your paper that the Hoc- key Club intended to ask us to pay an extra 10 cents on each ticket because of their having to pay an amusement, tax.

Since everyone knows that amusement tax must be paid on all such sporting events. did not the club know it. and count that into the original charge for our llckets?

I am. theoretically. I share- holder through having in holding ticket. Before the start of the season I promised to support the club by laying my money on the line in hdvance.

I have not yet. missed a game nor have I failed to buy a pro- gram-and at least a hot dog or

some peanuts and bars. Tint runs into n bit of money each week for the two games. I am

just another working man, like the majority of fans who are (:0- lng to the Forum twice ll week.

I am not responsible for the cnpacity of the Forum not being able to hold enough people. But I am paying a higher rate than fans in other cities. 51.50 per game.

Now I ask why I should have to pay more? Earlier. I said I al- Wllyg bought it program. Arcn't these program; sponsored by someone for each game and thus the printing cost paid for through mlvertlsing? If they are. why should they be sold for 10 ccnis each? Who get: ihat money? If it is the Club. then that is the 10 cents they are asking for and why should they want another similar amount from me and other fans?

Admittedly We are getting hoc- key. but I feel that having made ii bargain wlthgme to sell tickets for the season at 51.50 each the Club should not now ask me to pay more.

I agreed to pay my moncy be- fore I really knew whether or not it would be good hockey. I took it chalice then. but it looks as though the Club now wants to stick me for an cxtrnvcosi: lust because we think the team is good. I dont tlilnk that is fair.

Why should we pay more than the fans In Halifax. Saint. John and Moncton when we have a better team?

If the Club needs money so badly they have to ask us for an- other dime. why don't they set the extra money from the other Big Four rinks where the Island- crs pack them in every lime Hi?! play? 1: :5 Am: Islanders wno draw the crowds on the main- land and the other clubs bette- fit from it. Why not let those same clubs help the Islanders? H the local club gets 10 cents from every fun here. at most it would only be 3600 a week. If they got. 5200 a week from each of the other clubs they would have the amount. And the other clubs should be well able to pay it for the sake-of keeping the Islanders in the League. They are the real drawing cards and are maklnlz money for the rest. of the league. A good many of us have been talking It over and we feel the same way. We can't afford to My any more and if we have to it means that most of Us Wm Only go to one game a.week instead of two; in which case. from me.
