Carbonear, Feb. 25.
A full house was on hand to see the Air Cadet hockey team engage the St. Bon's Senior Inter-collegiate team in a most exciting game last evening. From the starting whistle the players gave all they had and both teams showed good combination and, while your reporter knows very little about hockey, she knows that it is "team work" that wins the game.

The first period was anyone's to the final whistle and it ended 3-1 in favour of the Air Cadets. The second period was definitely that of the Cadets, who seemed to have it all over the visitors. It ended 8-2 in favour of the Cadets. The third period saw St. Bon's put on a scoring spree, netting the puck no less than 7 times, as against the Cadets 2 goals. Excitement in this period certainly ran high and when we say it was anyone's game to the last we are quite correct. The period ended 10-9 in favour of the Air Cadets.

Gillies for St. Bon's was outstanding scoring 4 of the 9 goals. Redmond netted the puck twice and Wakelin , Barrett, and T. Murphy once each. Curley Penney did for the Cadets what Redmond did for St. Bon's, netted the puck 4 times. Jim Penney and Fred Rossiter scored 2 goals each, with Reg Parsons and John George chalking up one each.

Players for St. Bon's were: Robert Redmond, Billy Gillies, R. McCarthy, Dave Barrett, M. Frelich, John Royal, A. Manning, Brian Wakelin, Joe Murphy, Pat Melvin, Tom Murphy, Bob Dunne, David Sinnott, and Billy Ryan.

Referees- D. Sharpe and N Sparrow.

The Air Cadets were represented by: goal, Guy Brien; defense: Reg Parsons, Pat Dooley, and John Furey; forwards: Curley Penney, Billy Pumphrey, Ern Cole, Jim Penney, Fred Rossiter, John George, and Dave Thomas.
It was a good game of hockey and the fans certainly enjoyed it.

On Saturday, March 10, 1956, twenty five fans accompanied the Carbonear Cadet hockey team to St. John's by bus where they played Prince of Wales College. The score was 6-1 in favour of the cadets. The fans were enthralled with the splendid passing and clever play of the cadets. Curley(Carl) Penney was a spark plug for the cadets and dipsy-doodled through the whole P. W. C. team to score. The line of Carl Penney(3), Fred Rossiter(1), and Billy Pumphrey(2) scored all six goals for the cadets. Banjo Winsor scored the lone goal for P. W. C.

The 1956-57 cadet hockey team had their own uniforms. Many of the boys from the previous year had returned and there were several new recruits. However, this was to be the last year for the hockey team as the S. W. Moores Memorial Stadium opened in Harbour Grace the next year and many of the cadets went on to form the Carbonear senior hockey team. It is not known what became of the new uniforms.
