Sunocos Champs of Valley League

The Wolfville Sunocos were Champions of the Valley League and were semi-finalists in the Nova Scotia Senior Championships during the 1937-38 hockey season. The team included men who had played hockey for Wolfville High School, for Acadia University or both. During this period, town and gown vied for the Callender trophy. As reported in the March 1938 Athenaeum, “Smarting from its defeat of the week before Wolfville outplayed and outscored the Acadia sextet by a score of 7-1. By the victory Wolfville retained the Robert Callender trophy, emblematic of town hockey supremacy.” The line of Sanford, Lockhart and Lockhart were high scorers for the Sunocos.
