a-Trail Times-Friday, January 2, 1981 I The Christmas season is rapidly running out for another year, for some I guess it was a hectic time, we actually spent it quite quietly at home with friends, we hope that all our friends and acquaintances thoroughly enjoyed it as we certainly did. Now we are easing into the New Year 1981, we hope it will be a great year for all of you. We hope our country will come through all the difficulties she has experienced in 1980. Between Christmas and · New Year's, a new trend was started in the sports field as far as Rossland is concerned, Sunday, Dec. 28, the Warriors of today hosted the Warriors of the past in a very pleasing spectacle of hockey; I would very much like to s~ggest that this event be made an annual affair. Young men who used to wear the red and white of the ,~PP-]ALK Warriors, some from teams back as far · as the early seventies and some . just removed from the junior age group were on hand to show that they still are able to skate with the young 'uns. 1 The crowd on hand, while not large, was better than some we have had. A gettogether was held in the lounge following the game and everyone of the players was there plus a goodly number of fans. It was indeed a night to remember,. renewing old acquaintances and hearing how this one and that one are proceeding with the busin~ss of living. It was indeed a pleasure for me and I imagine it was so to a lot of the people who crammed into the lounge. The game itself was really a great effort on the part of both teams. It made one feel pretty proud to know that all the young men out there on the ice had once been proud to be a part of our Warrior organization. They are scattered now through this province and into Alberta, but they were still happy to be part of the plan to help the present-day team in their effort to add a little fuel to the financial burner. The game was barely 15 seconds old when Murray Price showed us some flashes of his former brilliance with a drive down the wing and a perfectly timed and · executed pass across the goal mouth which Doug Davis had no trouble converting for the first score. .The Warriors, realizing that they maybe had a tiger by the tail, pulled out all the stops and had a 3-1 lead until the closing minutes of the first period when the ex-Warriors got a goal from John McMaster to mak-e it close.
