They all played in the Memorial Cup final before going on to professional hockey careers. . In the 60 years, the Memorial Cup has been ‘awarded to the best junior hockey team in Canada, countless other players have gone on to outstanding pro careers. And for even more, just being members of Memorial Cup teams was the highlight of their careers. Thanks to the New Wesiminster Bruins the fabled old mug has rested the last two years al the British Columbia Sports Hall of Fame & Museum. Bruins coach Ernie McLean is confident his charges can ma it an unprecedented three in a row this season. Bruins, of course, ate the Most successful western junior team in recent history having been to the final in 1975 and again in’76 — both losing efforts -- before bealing Ontario and Quebec champions in the "77 final tournament in their own backyard, at the Pacific Coliseum. Last year they repeated in Sudbury -- Sault Ste. Marie. But just how did the competition begin? Well, 60 years ago the Ontario Hockey Association offered the Memorial Cup for a national junior cham- pionship. And it was with a certain degree of trepidation, (he west ac- cepted the challenge.

For William Rangers won in ‘22° and University of Manitoba in '23. Western teams Louk seven Memorial Cups between 1921 and 1931. The next 16 years produced some mammuth struggles wilh the Cup ex- changing hands an equal eight times each. Through the 1950s and ‘60s, however, the Easl regained its domination. The West won only four Memorial Cups between 1949 and '69. In 1971, however, the Quebec and Ontario junior leagues threatened not to play because uf an uver-age rule in the west, Edmonton Oil Kings’ locquacious Bill (Red) Hunter was moved Lo claim: “the burning am- bition of every Canadian boy is to play for the Memorial Cup as a junior .” Handa Avsord Test drive a Honda today at Y Honda Casic Sedan TERRACE HONDA SALES 4912 Hwy. 16 Terrace, B.C, VaG 1L8 St ae 638-9171 HONDA Dealer Licence Number 020664 | 1_ OF ”7-~ SAVINGS STARTING WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 25th You'll roar with delight at all the money you’re going to save!
