That philosophy paid off with the 1949 championship, a win that brought the whole town out to celebrate. Taking the bus home the morning after the big game, West remembers the team members were unexpectedly detained along the 401 at Bennett Rd. by a local police constable while, unbeknownst to them, the townspeople finished preparing a victory parade. As the team rolled into town, it was met by a fire engine, the Orono Band and a crowd lined up along both sides of the street, that included the local school children who had been let out of class for the occasion. There was even a chicken dinner awaiting the team members at the Masonic Hall.

"We were wellknown all over Ontario," recalls West, who was just 18 at the time. "It was an historical moment that never will happen again." Found was a familiar face in the OHA, and in Junior hockey in Toronto, and as the team's manager and publicist, he helped Orono become well-known too. Many decades later, the Orono Orphans were even inducted into the Clarington Sports Hall of Fame, and the team's 1949 Championship photo was featured in a video section of the Toronto Hockey Hall of Fame. "The village of Orono was very lucky to have a man like Dane Found," says West. West wants to ensure that Found's efforts will be remembered, believing more recognition should be given to the man who brought organized sports to town. "There's a small picture of Dane at the Orono Arena," notes West. "There should be more, maybe a full-size picture of him, and a plaque saying that he was the organizer and founder of the OAAA. That should be there." Following Found's lead, perhaps the OAAA and some local business owners would be interested in forming a committee.
