Yes, it's playoff season and I must say the kids over here at the Pigdump office are a little bored with it all. Really, the Habs don't make it, the Maple Leafs show themselves to be truly Make Believes and it's gonna be a sunny 23°.
So instead of pretending to get excited when the Canucks beat the Wild or the Devils beat the Lightning (yawn), we're going to go back 30 years when in early May, the hometeam Orillia Terriers delighted the hometown crowd at the Orillia Oval by winning their first Allan Cup (that's the Holy Grail of Senior Men's Hockey, eh?) It was even more exciting than Henderson's goal in Moscow six months earlier.
Ladies and gentlemen, your 1972-73 Orillia Terriers:
Back Row: Raymond Hollywood (stick boy), Billy Harris (assistant trainer), Ray Dupont, Garrie Vaughan, George Vail, Charlie Cipolla, Peter Lemay (trainer).
Middle row: Gary Milroy, Jim Keon, Ron Clarke, Jim O'Brien, Claire Alexander, Gary Marsh, Ernie Miller.
Front row: Jean-Louis Levasseur, Mike Draper, Doug Kelcher (playing-coach), Don Stoutt (club President), Al Beausoleil -G.M., Tom Polanic (team captain), Grant Moore, Jim McWilliams.
