TRULY A GENTLEMAN AND A FUTURE VICTORIA SPORTS HALL OF FAMER
With style and panache, Wes Goldie patrolled the right wing for the Victoria Salmon Kings over the course of four seasons. In that time, he became the team career leader in many offensive categories. Four consecutive 40 goal campaigns, a remarkable feat that may not be eclipsed for a long time. History was made with his 48 goals in 2008-2009 when he went ahead of the 46 goal single season Victoria minor pro record set by Andy Hebenton in 1954-55. In February 2010, Wes Goldie went ahead of Ryan Wade for games played as a Salmon King; he is truly "The Ironman" having played every game, regular season(288) and playoffs(31). In his last two seasons he was the team captain. In playoffs he had 34 points and 17 goals in 31 games. Off-ice, Wes Goldie and his wife Marsha were strong supporters of the Booster Club. They were sympathetic to the Salmon Kings Booster Club's efforts to promote interest in the team. Whether signing autographs or interacting with fans, Wes Goldie was always a gentleman with a big smile. This winter, with Wes having moved on it will seem strange at SOFMC not to hear Cliff Lequesne's announcement, "Salmon Kings goal scored by number sixteen, Wes Goooolllddiieee!!! The Booster Club wishes to thank Wes for all of his efforts to make Salmon Kings hockey an integral part of the Victoria sports community. We wish him and his family all the best for the future. Flash Forward a few years-----With Cliff Lequesne reading the speech, Wes Goldie is inducted into the Victoria Sports Hall of Fame as a worthy representative of minor professional sports in Victoria in the early years of the 21st Century.
