@ THE OSHAWA TIMES, Wednesday, December 16, 1964 Generals Make Opener Perfect Memory Event By GERRY SUTTON A case of stage fright stag- gered Oshawa Generals be- fore they rallied for a 6-4 vic- tory over St. Catharines Black Hawks in their Civic Auditorium debut here last night. Minus three top players, Gen- erals fell behind 2-0 in the first seven minutes of play, but quickly grew accustomed to the new surroundings and held the edge for the remainder of the game. The win broke a two-game losing streak and moved Gen- erals to within two points of third place Peterborough Petes.

H. Campbell SPORTS EDITOR 'Everything From Soup To Nuts' MUSIC TO OUR EARS! We've been looking around for @ fitting description, something really colorful, soul-stirring and worthy of posterity, to write into the records concerning the opening of Oshawa's new Civic Auditorium -- and know what? -- we ended up with a lump in our heart, but music in our ears. And at that -- we are probably most accurately describing the sentimental re-actions and true feelings of not Only all the 'oldies' but most of the 4,109 cash customers (plus a couple of hundred "'guests") on hand for last night's memorable event. The thrill of seeing hundreds of fans file into the beautiful new building more than made up for the frustrating traffic jams encountered en route. There was one noticeable change in the appearance of the crowd -- we saw only one "'scarf" and a couple of "mufflers" and not a single "muff"? -- almost half of the male customers were wearing heavy wool sweater coats or pullovers. On the distaff side, about a third were in slacks and another third in furs. Now, we didn't intend to launch into a fashion parade trend, in talking about a hockey game, but let's face it -- back in 1930, when the Oshawa Arena opened, the customers did look entirely different. x x x x WAYNE CASHMAN but skidded into the net with the elusive disc.

(The clock is expected contest.) BLUELINE NOTES -- Goal- tender Dennis Gibson, rookie Jim Booth and team-captain Danny O'Shea watched from the sidelines. Gibson suf- fered a chipped bone on the finger of his catching hand when hit by a puck in practise Monday and needed four stitches to close the wound.| Booth was out with the flu and O'Shea is still out with strained knee ligaments. Booth is the only player expected for the game against Wings on Satur- day . .. Three players from Huron 'Biddies' AS WE SAID -- we got a thrill watching the fans come into the building. There were a lot of old familiar faces too-- the "regulars" of yesteryears. But when the great cheer burst forth, as the Oshawa Juniors skated out onto the ice, to the strains of the familiar 'Generals' March'? -- that's when the lump came to the throat. Back in 1930, when we wrote about "'the death" of the Oshawa Arena, we recalled the popular song of 1930, the one that went something like "And I'll Be There With You" -- 'When My Dreams Come True", etc. That old number was still on the hit parade last night. Twice in a quarter-century, Oshawa lost its "house of hockey" due to fire -- this one is almost entirely fireproof, there shouldn't be a third time. About the only musical touch that was missing last night was brought vividly to us, when the Generals scored their third goal. We fully expected the P.A. system to give out with the kell-known strains of "Why Don't We Do. This More Often'. At any rate, when it was. all over--we found ourselves whistling 'I Get That Old Feeling". x x x x OFFICIAL opening ceremonies were delayed when the visiting OHA delegates and other dignitaries were delayed by the traffic jam on King street, between Park Road and Thornton's Corners. However, they held it between the first and second periods. Russell Humphreys, chairman of the Oshawa Generals Hockey Club directors, was master of. cere- monies and first speaker. Others who spoke, all briefly and wisely, included 'Dick'? McLaughlin, chairman of the Civic Auditorium Committee; Matt Leyden, Oshawa's own OHA 1st vice-president and manager of the Generals in yesteryears; "Pat" Patterson, OHA president and Weston Adams, president and owner of the Boston Bruins NHL Hockey Club. We thought the official ceremones were carried out in excellent fashion, brief and to-the-point, they added to the occasion, when a long, drawn-out affair would have irked the impatient | fans. True, there were dozens of others who deserved. to be honored with a special introduction last night -- but' we'll not even name one of them, rather than maybe forget one-- but the 'souvenir program" took care of almost all. Yeah verily -- 'twas a wonderful night, a great show -- and the Generals gave it the perfection touch with a victory for their first game in their new home. Encore! |Condiveo each collected a pair.
