THE HERALD OUTLOOK Saturday Octobers Page Hockey memories revived by chance meeting Everytime I see the children show Elephant with the popular Lois Sharon and think of Bucko Bucko was a lot like Elephant big floppy ears huge feet and lovable You see Bucko was and still is a very popular guy in the north Sun dndge and old Georgetown Bucko was born in Fergus On arm in 1911 and became a great lacrosse star Around here we really started to get to know him when Bob and he became team mates with the Detroit Red Wings in the H Bob s every shift was followed with great interest by all of us here in town and of course we gradually felt Bucko was a soul mate The fans loved Bucko He was a huge barrel chested type strong as an ox and not exactly a Fred on ice but he was a gamer and showman He was colorful So when his professional career ended he kept on playing at the amateur level You know we might never have played and won ovtr Bucko Sun dndge Beavers for the 194748 A Championship if it hadn I been for Coach Doug sharp eye Doug was from and coaching the Georgeiown Club when we lost Milton Milton had brought a id in from Hamilton who certainly played prominent pact in Milton win spitted Iht illegal protest to A and the w is upheld The OH A Ordered a sudden Stones by Steamer Emmerson death play off game which Georgetown won and we finally met Bucko and his Beavers for the Ontario Int A Championship It was standing room only and Bucko won the star attraction Georgetown ws a hot bed of hockey and the fans couldn I wail to pit Delly Beaumont Kenny Nash Nick Fern Rabbit Rhodes Scotty Patterson Jack Bertwhis tie Eddie Binsell Hal Gibson Ken Storty Max and Lee Bradbury Rene Martin Art Murdoch and Emo against Bucko Percy Bl was the manager and as I said Doug Ru nions was Iht conch Bucko was no slouch at picking talent and he had the high scoring line of Bo Wheeler at Mat Lang at centre and Harold Knobby Hill at Bo Whteler h id pi a few with Boston Bruins but on

right in the eye but Bucko Bucko never missed a bet when il came to hockey talent That night he had Bo in the line up and he rewarded Bucko with a goal Bo went on to be the leading scorer in the Northern O H A for two consecutive years so when he and Bucko and crew lined up against Georgetown Ihe fans knew they wert in for some great hockey Mrs Kemshead and Theresa Harrison were rabid fans and always sat by the penalty box and could they yell and shout and apply the needle opposing plajers entering the penaltj box What with hem Bucko Bo Del Nitk and Noel Iht crowd knew it was going to be belttr than Wresllemania I think the night that cemented Bucko into the heart of Georgetown fans was the night he graciously allowed Mrs Kem shead to pin a huge ladies corset on him at centre ice The crowd loved it and Bucko did a little twirl to prove he was a good sport The Sundndge Series and Millionaires Series with Watson Ronnie Low and Nick were classics The year before Kenny Noel came to play for this wonderful team he played in Stratford and the night his daughter Judy was born he scored seven points He was productive on and off the ice Why am I telling you this because I met Bo Wheeler in Credit Valley Hospital in a diabetic class and we had a wonderful time talk ing about Bucko the Sundndge Beavers and that dark haired devil he said was a real player at centre ice He meant of course Bo told me a funny story before we parted I though you might be in in Hockey in its hey day in and Georgetown often had special trains games These were packed and the town would shut down at or so everjone could catch the train to in away game Bo told me one night tht left Sundndge with a population of for Markham and the conductor told him they had a head count an the tram of 790 Bucko long retired from hockey and duties as the local MP holds court at years young in the cof fee shop of the Bernard Hotel in Sundndge every morning to talk hockey politics and even corsets Best wishes
