THE GUARDIAN, CHARLOTTETOWN

FEBRUARY 28, 1951

In the past two games of hockey that have been played here over

Forum ice, local fans have been treated to wide varieties of play that have been as interesting Int their respective categories as any that have been witnessed locally in Big Four league competition this season. The two games re- ferred to were the Halifax-Is- lenders clash last Friday night. and the Saint John-Islanders meeting on Monday. up 0 0

The Friday meeting saw Halifax and Islanders better one another in probably the roughest, most exciting. penalty-infested game in the Big Four circuit this year that thrill-a-second and enough brawls and penalties to last them a lifetime. But there was good, aggressive hockey being played too. and with the added feature of the Islanders starting out with a 7-man crew for a unique slant on the whole picture, it was certainly a big night for local hockey fans. The 29 penal- ties. that were the result of the frequent outbursts, constituted just about every infraction in the rule bnck and gave the match that extra tcuch.

It was the kind of mntcst... that revives any waning interest in the sport by the cash customer and makes him want to see the next game to see what is going to hap- pen. The Monday meeting was of a reverse nature but accomplished the same end in holding up the interest of the fan. It was all smart. smooth hcckey every inch of the way. minus the rough stuff.

. . .

It was just one of those nights when both teams seemed to want to play hockey and score goals by smart team play Ind passing in- Stead 01' lvfllinll lo bully the puck up the ice and into the net by any means at hand at the moment. The first period was one of the smoothest exhibitions of fast. tricky hockey that has been seen here for some time. and although the Islanders held a 4-0 at the end of that time, Beavers were in it every inch of the way. The. Isl- anders were sharper around the not than they have been seen here since early in the scnscn, and was the main difference between them and the opposition. Both goalies, Hal Gordon and Dennis Brodeur, handled 9 shots on the frame each, and the, four others that got past the youthful Beaver. custodian were labelled "goal" all the way. Gordan was particularly hot in some of the nine shots he turned

performance. A I O 0

The second frame was pretty

much I repetition of the smooth brand of hcckey played in the first, with the exception that it was the Beavers who came out on the long end of the scoring by a 3-1 count. Their goal: weren't as heat as the snappy three-way attacks that notched up three of Islanders four goals in the open- lng session. but were nevertheless hard-earned tallleythat took some nice playing to get the puck within acoi-in; range. Two of the Beavev tallies were more or less tough-luck ones for Gordon. one being deflected in off I stick dur. mg a gang attack. the other be- ing it high "bobble"lahol: that hit Johnny Dutchn.k”I ihoulder "before going into the net. Their third was I nlcc three-way effort by the Beavers. while Islanders lone tally was on another trio attack that wu one of the prettiest of the night.

Once again both goalie: were showing hot moments. with Brod- eur being the one to come up with some really close cIveI,' and Inn: handled In equal number of shots. 11 each. The third union was I closer checking affair, with heavy ice slowing down the tempo but still producing I good brand of play.

Montague Meteor: won theflnt game of the King's County inter- mediate hockey finals last night. defeating Sourls 6-4 at the Man- tague Rink in one of the clenncat. games played here this year.

This was perhaps one of the big features of the game. in that al- though there was considerable body checkinlf. it was done in the open without the usual heavy boarding. The locals fought hard during most of the game, but slackened the pace at the begin- ning of the second period which almost proved disastrous. How- ever. they soon regained their pace. and proceeded to outpass their opponentaln flne style which quickly netter the needed goals. Although the ice was poor they completed most of their long pass- es. and were on the"! puck con- stantly to prevent any brcakways.

The visitors also attacked with vigor during the game, but seem- ed to lack the ability to capitalize on their chances. It was also noted that the team ls ccmposed mainly of young boys. and in an- other year or two Sourls will have it team to be taken into conslde - alzion over the Island.

During the first period two goals were scored by Clements for the locals. both on long shots which the goalie missed entirely to put Montague on the board two up.

In the second session the locals slowed up. and the Sourls squad took advantage to rap in three goals. with S. Paquet. getting one and Mccormac two. Faced with a deficit of one coal the Meteors penpcrl up again and within one minute sank two goals to put them one up at the end of the second period with MacLure and Mac-

Lean doing the honours.

Again Mocormac for souris tied the score shortly after the be- ginning of the third period with his locally famous shot which counted for three goals last night. In order to put themselves Ihead I few points in anticipation of the final game in Souri: on Friday night, the Meteors put on the gang attack to place Power in position. and on two fine angle shots he dented the tiwlnes twice to give Montague the game 6-4.

Mcfiregor Tells Why He) Quit Halifax Club

KINGSTON. Ont.. Feb. 27 - (OP)-George Mccregor said to- day that "financial difficulty" had caused his sudden departure from Halifax St. Mary's of the Marl- tlme Major Hockey League.

I60

Mccregor, highest-paid player on the st. MIry'a roster, said a disagreement with club officials

over living quarters for his fIm- ily had led to his quitting. which resulted in an indefinite suspens- ion by the league.

McGregor said he had been promised an apartment on his ar- rival ln Halifax with his wife and baby. when he arrived. there was no Ipartmeng available Ind the Mcclregorr were placed in I hotel.

Jimmy MacDonald general man- ager of the club had promised him the firat available apartment. A house had been found for Me- Gregor, but he and the manager had agreed that ltwasunsulta-ble.

The player said MacDonald had also promised to look after Mc- Gregor's hotel bill but had said later that the club could only pay 3300 of the total. j

After considerable delay. Mc- Grcgor said. he had pIld the bill himself Ind telephoned Don Murphy. assistant general man- ager. informing him that Mc- Gregor would leave unless the matter was settled.

when no word was received from the club Mt.-Gregor had left Halifax the following day.
