- A blue (faded to purple) felt patch with stencilled painted designs, lettering and a stylized hockey player. The patch has upward spiked edges and a round top; near the bottom there is a lettered scroll. The patch has an orange-painted centre with downward pointing spiked shapes in contrast to the outside edge; at the bottom this flows into a painted and lettered scroll. Inside the orange oval is cut-out (so the blue felt is visible) stencilled lettering “JUVENILES”, (0.80cm high ) below that is a painted-on hockey player holding his hockey stick in a shooting position. The hockey player has black hair, orange face, yellow sweater, black pants, yellow stockings, black skates with yellow laces, black gloves and a black hockey stick. In the middle of the scroll are the words “BANFF” (1.50cm high) in yellow on orange. On the left side of the scroll, a rolled scrolled edge in orange, the number “44” (.90x.50w cm) in black on the yellow fold and on the right side of the scroll another rolled scrolled edge in orange and the number “45” (.90x.50w cm) in black on the yellow fold.
