Il was exciîing for the boys to make the long 'trek tu Buffalo, book int a botel and, enjoy eacb others'company. Hopes were higli. However, Ilirougli a combination of bougli competition, bad bounces and untimely breakdowns, the teain came up short in their quest 10 win one more championship. t is, arguable that the large olympic- size ice surfaces made it difficult for the 'Selects 10 organize their Dufferin Aggies win With a record of 6-0 in the round robin, Dufferin Aggies faced MacGregor I.D.A. in the "A"' Championship.
