season the ice on the arena is an uncertainty tttefooys have reached the end of the 1946 47 hockey season and perhaps we should make some editqrial c6mmcnt first let us say wc were proud of thehowing made by aclon players this year it didnt turn out to be a championship ycar but the interrrfcdiatcs went wellalong the way and in elimination they were certainly not disgraced we ore pleased too that in the season when i jchoice hft to bemndere resident or non-rco- ldcnt players that the management chose to go the route with the boys who are resident of acton and the district it does seem that if hockey is to suruve incoinnuinities such ns this withautbecomjng financial burden some group will have to be set up by the o ha that will offer a championship to an allresident team we dont believe communities enrh ns nnrs have rcachgdthe wh financ ial returns arc sufficient to use a professional seal of payment to participants in the game such as is used in maple leal gardens we feel there has been too much trend already in that direction and a new change of outlook is necessary if the sporr is to survivein the smollertownswejiopethis will be taken into consideration seriously before
