February Hockey: That Very First Goal

Brian, Great story. Your Grand Dad played with some of Hockey's Legends.He also played on the 1930/31 New York Americans with a man named Ellis Pringle who was from Sutton West Ontario. My Dad, Charles was the stick boy on many of the local teams in Sutton at the time. Dad considered Ellis his idol.Mr Pringle is buried in the local cemetery next to one of Canada's renowned humorists Stephen Leacock and Charles' parents. Funny how the Six Degrees of Separation works.Hope to read more of your articles. They bring fond memories.

Hey Brian, great story about your grandfather! As always, beautifully told.
