1951-52 South Bathurst C.Y.O. Juveniles

Category: Team

In 1951-52 there were very few juvenile hockey teams in the province of New Brunswick who could hold up against the powerful C.Y.O. Juveniles of South Bathurst. After winning the league in Bathurst, the squad, which was supported by the South Bathurst Catholic Youth Organization, went on to down both Campbellton and Chatham in two home series. The NB Championship for juveniles was decided after two hotly contested matches between Bathurst and the Dieppe Royals. The first game in Bathurst ended in a 3-3 draw and the C.Y.O. Juveniles pulled out the championship victory with an exciting 2-1 victory in Moncton.
