Virginiatown Ontario,
Boys' Hockey Teams, 1950s & 1960s

I've placed these four photos in approximate chronological order based on the apparent age of Martin Budden who appears in the first three. Due to a tremendous response to this set of photos, it took only three days to put names to most of the players. But there are still several unidentified and a few uncertain IDs.

Note that this photo appears far right on the wall in the background of the next photo below.

Back: Constable Colin or Bob Cousins ("who chased us many times for raiding gardens").
Middle Row, L to R: Martin Budden, Peter Campbell, possibly Ken Berard, Bob Bourne.
Front Row: Wayne Thomas, Brian Graham, Gordon Smith (goalie), Bill Raney, Paul Baker.


Coach: Possibly Veter Slater(?).
Back Row: (unknown), Murray Fulkerson, Larry Sauer.
Front Row, L to R: (unknown), Lloyd Gore, Ray Lafrance, Martin Budden.

This photo is more likely from the mid-1960s.
Back Row: Winfield Budden (coach), Ron Acton, John Henderson, Germaine or Claude Noel, Jaan Aaviku.

Can you provide the two missing names or more details?
