  1. You little monsters! I can picture you all speeding away with your banana seat choppers , pedalling like crazy.
  2. Yup, I can picture our place on the school wall like it was yesterday and I haven’t been there in 55 years. I was always going after the Bruins cards. Too funny us older guys retired and reminiscing in the middle of a work day.
  3. Those were my favourite. Always waiting for the 65 Chev to need fuel and begging to go to Esso. The rosters in those years are still imprinted in my mind.
  4. Originally the skates were entirely white and it looked strange on TV as the skates blended in with the ice . Finley later decided they needed a little colour. I think he was bat poop crazy.
  5. We used to prop a hockey card up against the cement wall in the school yard and challenge kids to win it by flicking other cards towards it with a twist of the wrist. The more desirable the target card the further you had to shoot from. If it didn’t get knocked down you collected all the missed shot cards. That was our video game , amongst other outdoor games we played.
  6. Here’s an article about the owner, his lack of hockey sense and the white skates. http://goldensealshockey.com/?page_id=31
  7. I remember when the CGS owner had them all wearing bright white skates. Strangest thing we had ever seen on ice. Seem to recall they claimed were kangaroo hide leather.
  8. Van 5-3 Miller gwg Thanks for maintaining this so well g13. You never skip a beat!
  9. Your reply to Max’s good or not goal question seemed pretty sarcastic to me. Perhaps I mis-read that into it.
  10. I believe Bo was describing Bruce coming in and saying “ believe in yourselves “.
  11. Flights been rerouted through Whitehorse with a 5 month layover.
  12. So good that it was Garland that got the ball rolling with the first goal.
