      Back in the sixties we had a decent senior circuit down here around the lower mainland. Some ex NHLers like Long John Henderson played in it. HI Lo Warriors, Maillardville Carlings, I wish I could remember all the teams. The Smyr Flyers dominated it though, they were a barnstorming outfit without a home arena consisting of the Shmyr brothers and a few other high level players. Kind of like basketballs Globetrotters except they played for real and kicked the crap out of everyone. They were suspended from the league a couple of times for brawling, they intimidated the other teams something awful, but were quite an attraction. I have had a hard time finding info on the old lower mainland senior league or the Shmyr Flyers, but I keep my eye out.
