Sports flashbacks are from November 1960
This week’s flashbacks are from 60 years ago, in November of 1960. Flyers beat Kings in overtime The Leamington Flyers opened their Border Cities League season with a 6-5 overtime victory over the Dresden Kings at Leamington Arena on Saturday night. The Flyers fell behind 4-0 in the first period but roared back on the strength of Art Verhaeghe’s hattrick, which also included the overtime winner. Clair Sherk, Max Riediger and Fred McDermott each had single goals. Flyers goalie Paul Burgess was sensational during the overtime to preserve the victory. Omsteads hammer Honkers The Wheatley Omsteads remained undefeated with a 10-4 win over the Kingsville Honkers on Monday at Leamington Arena as the South Essex Hockey League continued their season. John Gillespie, Terry Jackson and Don Robinson each scored twice for the Omsteads, with singles to Jerry Liddle, Jim Elsley, Bruce Hodgson and Bob Goetz. Max Riediger managed a hattrick for the Honkers, with a single goal to Reg Switzer. Jaycees beat Team 3 in midget action Despite the efforts of Team 3 netminder David Enns, the Jaycees shut them out 4-0. Bruce Knight scored twice, with singles to Mike Sherman and Harry Scratch. In other midget action, Team 2 beat Team 1 by a 6-3 score. Larry Mayhew scored twice for the winners. Single goals went to Johnny Weisz, Bob Van Tieghan, Dick Ura and Bruce King. Dennis Jackson, Henry Patkau and John Enns scored for Team 1. Wheatley shuts out Mersea 5-0 The powerful Wheatley Squirt house league team whitewashed Mersea by a 5-0 score. Wheatley was led by five different scorers in Doug Lamb, Bruce Baker, Larry Hyatt, Jim Lougheed and Doug Coulter. Seacliff Merchants win big in Juvenile play The Seacliff Merchants trounced the Knights of Columbus in Juvenile hockey play at the Leamington Arena, by a score of 7-1. Paul Child had two goals to lead the Seacliff team, with singles going to Bob Van Teighan, Danny Vickery, Barry Thompson, Dave Prpich and Haggith. Harold Konrad and Ernie Banyai each picked up a pair of assists. Jack Slaney was peppered with shots in the Knights’ net, but held them off the best he could. The Knights’ lone goal was scored by David Cole. Edwards TV Peewees kick off season The newly named Edwards TV Leamington Peewees beat Riverside twice on the weekend, with 4-1 and 2-1 scores. On Friday, Leamington was led by Dave Hewett, Dave Ginter, Wayne Pye and Dick Neufeld, who each scored once. On Saturday, the local boys edged their rivals 2-1, with goals from Bill Wright and John McCarron. Goaltender Danny Coulter got the win in game one, and Randy MacKenzie took the honours in game two.

The GOJHL cancelled the playoffs at the conclusion of this game and suspended the 2019-20 season. The Flyers are tentatively set to kick off their 2020-21 regular season on December 4, if all health guidelines fall into place. Sun photo
GOJHL issues ‘return to play’ guidelines By C. Scott Holland With time winding down before the Greater Ontario Jr. Hockey League is set to resume playing —- if granted permission to do so by various health units and the Ontario government — basic spectator guidelines have been issued. It has been known for some time that the league is capping attendance at 30 per cent of an arena’s capacity. Each facility will have some type of assigned seating available and where an arena does not have that available, a maximum of 150 spectators are allowed.

That could mean areas being taped or cordoned off. All arenas will implement spectator tracking and not go over the 30 per cent capacity rule. Upon entering, spectators must leave contact info in case any COVID is found among the spectators attending the game. The move is implemented so health officials can monitor any possible cases. In arenas like Leamington’s Nature Fresh Complex, ‘household groups and families’ will sit together and maintain a distance of two metres in front, back and side-toside. No spectators will be allowed
within two metres of the player’s entrance or exit to the ice surface or the dressing rooms. Spectator visiting, moving around, and congregating is strongly discouraged. All spectators must wear a face mask. All players, coaches, team officials and spectators are strongly urged to use the Government of Canada proximity app. Approval must granted by all local public health officials. If all goes well in the next couple of weeks, the league will be prepared to begin a new and somewhat different season.
