quctea i from the world ef pert the hockey season is slowly and perhaps painfully drawing to a close for the acton tanners for from u statistical point of view the vikft season has been one local fans would just as soon forget after completing 24 games of u 2 game schedule the locals huve managed only a tie and arc mired at the bottom of the ten team intermediate b league with just one point although they wish to offer no excuses or alibis for their showing this season the fact is the tanners have had a very tough row to hoe in several respects to start with the return of the georgetown raiders to the league cost the tanners the services of talented player like hlake and gerry inglis terry lane and don norton certainly these players had the right of choice of where they wished to play and exercised that right hut there is no doubt that their loss dealt a severe how to this years squad secondly the league schedulemakers did nothing to help the local cause by producing a schedule which forced acton to play an overabundance of away games in the first half of the season the result of courw was disastrous and it was not until the early part of january that the tanners playing in the more pleasant confines of the acton community centre began to show signs of coining to life finally the team was plagued throughout the year by injuries and the absence of key players who were working on shifts granted the other nine teams all had their problems in this regard but it seems that the locals had to contend with the greatest share of these two bugbears however the 6869 season cannot be written tiff as a complete loss the stiff competition against such perennial oha powerhouses as seaforth elmira and durham provided valuable experience for at least nine players all of whom are under the age of 25 and all of whom are expected back next year theres an excellent chance that this time next year theyll be forcing opponents into the same mistakes they may have made this year furthermore the season has proved that the executive coach and players of the acton tanners are not a group that are easily discouraged and this alone augurs well for future seasons we feel that the whole team from the members of the executive to coach harold tdwnsley to goaltender jim sweeney who stopped a multitude of pucks this season right down to each of the players who performed at various times deserve a compliment for their perseverance a compliment perhaps to replace the many slings and arrows critics have hurled at them this year tanners extend raiders acton tunnert guve
