This morning, we're moving forward a little bit with the Red Feather Tournament first mentioned in a post from March 18th.
In 1950, Ottawa Tech was once again undefeated and considered to be the top high school team in the city. As a result, they were the logical choice to represent the capital in Toronto for this tournament, as they did in 1949.
Here they are, looking rather dapper and about to board the train to leave for the big smoke. This was on the Thursday before their scheduled Saturday night match-up against Sudbury.
They won their game but the tournament title was given to St. Catherines Collegiate on the strength of a 52-00 win over a team from Guelph. That, at least, makes more sense than the previous year's result.
The uncredited Ottawa Citizen article below, from October 30th, 1950, details how the game went for Tech.
Good luck overcoming that Gray-Walker-Thompson wingline.
And so at this point, Ottawa teams (the same one, granted) are 2-0 at this tournament. I don't plan to build a page dedicated to it, since it's all exhibition anyway, but I'll continue to add results from the event when I happen to be in that area time-wise.
