CURTAIN FALLS ON HOCKEY
SENIOR HOCKEY LEAGUE

An end-of-season party was held on Friday,
April 11th to honour all the senior hockey
players of Cassiar. Hockey committee mem-
bers, officials, wives and friends also attended
this function which was a great success.

During the evening the presentation of a
liquor cabinet was made to one of Cassiar’s
outstanding players, Const. Dave Jackson,
who will be leaving this town for another
post on June 1st. This farewell gift was
presented to Dave by his team-mates and
fellow players and friends as a tribute to
his support and contribution to the hockey
cause in Cassiar since his coming here in
1967.

The senior hockey season this year, although
a short one, was none-the-less one of the best
and most exciting. Ten games were played
in Our areana, six against visiting teams from

Whitehorse and Watson Lake and four between

Cassiar teams, the Wolves and the Rattrays.
Two more games were played on the road by
the Asbestos Kings.

At the end of the season with the Grant
Stewart Trophy at stake, the Wolves came
out on top in a best of three series against
the Rattrays with two wins and one loss.
As for the Asbestos Kings, in an eight week
schedule, they managed to win four of their
eight games, tying one and losing three. The
Whitehorse club won two games and shared
one, while the Watson Lake All Stars got
the best over the Kings only once in three
games.

Now, | would like to take this opportunity
to thank all the players, the hockey com-
mittee members and officials, the company

officers and the numerous fans and supporters,

each and every one who made this year fine
achievement possible.

‘till next season!

L. Marcil,
Coach.
