at the tournament and helping out until he was finally ordered to go home and get some rest One year Red and some other organizers of the tournament decided to slip away for an evening to see a local team In a playoff game While they were gone a few kind souls decided to surprise them planing the ice surface for the following day s act Ion It proved to be quite a surprise especially when the Inexperienced planers toot the Ice down to bare concrete Fortunately games could be rescheduled to the Acton Arena until the Georgetown Ice Red was one of the Initiators of local Tyke hockey In Its
