I- hockey title Junior Abbies clash with Shediac Juniors at the Forum io- nlght in the first game of a two- game total points series for the two province title, and fans who have followed the junior branch of the game are expecting another battle much on the same lines as has been witnessed here in the past when local junior squads were battling it out for Maritime honors. I I I Back in the days of the Junior Royals and Junior Aibbics interest in the juniors was at a high pitch, so high in fact that packed houses used to watch the youngs- ters perform. Sorry to say. in the intervening years interest in the juniors has fallen off Lo a large extent but this year the first at- tempt at reviving interest has tak- en place. I I I 118th 111 the season the squad that tonight will face the New Brunswick champions was fornled. The first fe\v practices proved to be discouraging ones with small turnouts but officials behind the move, led by Q3111 Reid, director of physical fitness. stuck to their guns and as a result n team was formed good enough to capture the Island title and at the some time have improved sufficiently to place them as even bets to emerge as the wlrmers of the series they now await. I I I with the Santamarians of Hali- fax undoubted rulers of Maritime junior hockey there are no false irotions being lield of capturing the three province title but there is optimism prevailing that the squad will be able to win the New Brunswick-Hill. crown Tonight members of the squad will be out to gain a big margin to take into the second game slated for Mone- ton icc on Thursday night, and if all-out effort can accomplish their purpose the Abbics viull gain their objective. . - - It is to be hoped tlistagoodslzed crowd will be on hand for tonlghts encounter. The “kids" are deserv- ing of every encouragement in their endeavors to get junior hoc- key back on the high plane it en- joyed ln the past and if it is shown their latest efforts are ap- preciated it. is a certainty that when next season rolls around junior hockey will be put beck on s much stronger footing, And that in all likelihood would lead to Island squads in the next few years getting right back into the thick of the fight for s Ami in Memorial Cup playdowns.
