Time Sure Flies When Counting Anniversaries Spent an interesting couple of hours up in the archives of The Statesman this past Friday, researching the beginnings of the Bowmanville Men's Non- Contact Hockey League, who are celebrating their 20th anniversary with some exhibition exhibition games and a dance this Saturday night. The search for information information began with the bundles from 20 years ago (1977), which should have contained stories on the beginning of the league, the players who comprised the teams, playoff champions, and any other information that may have been of interest. After over half an hour of sifting through the sports pages of every edition, there was nothing to be found on the league. So, with some uncertainty about the league's beginnings, the files from 1978 were retrieved, with the same result. No mention of the league. It wasn't until October of 1979 that the first bit of nostalgia on the league was found. It was a puck-dropping prior to the first game to officially kick off the new league. NEW LEAGUE? Can't be. A 20th anniversary celebration would mean the league started (check my math) in 1977. Apparently, that's not the case. The league began 18 years ago, in 1979. So, it was one of those good news/bad news, phone calls that was made to organizers organizers of the league who are putting the finishing touches on their big celebration this Saturday. The good news, obviously, was that I was able to find the first official official news item on the league to appear in the paper, an article on who the playoff champions were in the first year, a story on the league's first annual non-contact tournament, and a photo of the winners of that tourney. Now for the bad news. The league is only celebrating its 18th anniversary, not its 20th. Despite the historical findings, everyone is guaranteed to have a good time this weekend, regardless of what year the league is celebrating. The interesting part of all of this is: what will the league do for its 25th anniversary celebration? celebration? And, more importantly, importantly, in what year will they hold it? LONGSHOT WINNER It would be a wise investment investment to drop down a couple of bucks on driver Paul MacDonelf every time he gets into the sulky at a Breeder's Crown race. The Orono resident guided another longshot to the winner's circle on Friday night, steering Village Jasper to a victory in the $594,000, 3-ycar-old colt pace. The son of Jatc Lobell paid $ 14.80 to win on a two dollar bet in a time of 1:51 4/5. It was the fifth Breeder's Cup win in just 27 drives for MacDoncll. With the close to $300,000 earned in the race by Village Jasper, the horse's earning on the year went over the $1 million mark. MacDonell also had a third place finish finish with Armbro Rocker in the 2-year-old filly trot. The eighth race, the $4.1 million Breeder's Crown was held at Mohawk Raceway. Clarington's other famous driver, Doug Brown, drove Lord Stormont to a third place finish in the featured 3-year- old colt trot.
