Maritime School Big Success For 232 Youngsters
TORONTO. Ont.— Hockey in July is only for the very young—and the very eager. But in Kemptville, Nova Scotia, the very young and very eager, 232 strong, were on the blades as early as 6 o’clock in the morning waiting for their tutors. The tutors were two Torontonians, Hank Goldup, ex-Leaf and ex-N.Y. Ranger, and Greg Currie who coaches Brampton B’s, and who doesn’t like to be reminded he coached Toronto Lyndhursts on their ill-fated world hockey trip a few years ago. “Greg and I,” recounted Goldup, “came into the rink one morning at about 6 a.m. It was in complete darkness.

STRATFORD, Ont.— Bill Durnan has been re-appointed to handle the Kitchener Dutchmen in senior “A” OHA, and also for their trip to the 1960 winter Olympic Games at Squaw Valley, Calif. Johnny Horeck, of course, will be back at the helm for the Chatham, Maroons, but Windsor Bulldogs, so far, have not come up with a successor to Murph Chamberlain, although Andy Bellemer turned in a fine chore when he supplanted Chamberlain at Windsor late in the season. Ike Hildebrand appears solid as the playing-coach of Belleville MacFarlands, and probably Sid Smith will remain as nonplaying coach of the Whitby Dunnies. The unsettled financial picture in Belleville senior “A” hockey, so far as the city council is concerned, awaits the result of an investigation, following the disclosure that considerable civic funds had been used…
