Galt Homebrew Bill Wylie Succeeds Balfour As Coach
GALT, Ont.— Galt hasn’t had a resident coach since senior hockey was revived here with great success eight seasons ago. That oversight was corrected with the appointment of Bill “Wiggie” Wylie as coach of Galt Hornets for the 1967-68 senior OHA season.

Wylie will be a non-playing coach, the first in the Hornet regime. Defenseman Ivan Tennant and left winger Balfour each served two year terms as playing…

Landlords of the Sports Arena, the town’s only quality indoor facility, originally refused and continued to refuse Cooke any hockey dates so long as the Western League Blades had a contract for hockey there. Conversely, however, the landlords say they would welcome a new basketball…
