I would. like to present m y
opinion on "Whät is ailing Junior
hockey today and how the situation
can be remedled.".
The first thing that comes to my
mind; is "Is jimior hockey really of
junior calibre?'.' L i most team sports
there are midget, jqveni]e,'Junior, i n ­termedia
te and senior classifications.
In hockey, much more than any other
sport, the Junior class is more or less
the stepping stone to. Professional
hockey (NHL).
Senior hockey is mostly made up of
players who are continually shuffling
back and forth to the NHL, or else
players like Moslenko, Doug Bentley.
and othersvvvho are slowing -up and
no longer are of Professional (NHL)
6allbre.
Because ot the near-professional
status of the junior teams,-a great
number. of our young hockey players
are left out of organlzed hockey after
they pass the age for-juvenlle. This,
to my ttiind, is ^because of the almost

It is true that «hese sports dubs, no

tells the S t o r y of the ,women, the chili
