Prior to the Friday regular Juvenile season I was placed on another team, The Leamington Kiwanis Midgets. I remember seeing Maurice Matassa, the goalie on the Leamington 2 [Legion] team. The other Juvenile teams were Leamington 1 [Knights of Columbus], Wheatley and Kingsville.
What I recall about Matassa is that he was older and taller than me, large, wore white pads and his equipment was new.
