Word Spreading About CJHL's 50th Anniversary
       
It ain't sophisticated, but it sure still works.  Flyers that is.  Proof of that came recently when
Trevor Tsuji, left, and Bob Fukumoto held up a flyer that publicizes the Canadian Japanese Hockey
League's 50th anniversary celebration.  A representative from the anniversary's organizing committee visited the league
recently to invite players to the event.  Games are played every Sunday at 7pm and
8pm at George Bell Arena.   Distributing the information the old fashioned way, rather
than the modern way through the internet, became a necessity because email addresses of
all the players weren't readily available.   News of the celebration was greeted with interest and enthusiasm, despite the fact
most of the players weren't born when the league started on Oct 22, 1961. Arrangements for
the anniversary have not yet been finalized, but details will be released as they become available.
