We recreated the jerseys and socks and held a Heritage Hockey game on Clear Lake in Feb 2017 to honour and celebrate the camp workers and the hockey players. https://www.pc.gc.ca/en/pn-np/mb/riding/riding/ROT-ne/hockey-2017Herder of Sheephttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15350363118790715145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28305337.post-73908060557617671672014-09-09T05:56:50.293-07:002014-09-09T05:56:50.293-07:00when Richard scored all those goals in 1944 every...when Richard scored all those goals in 1944 everyone including TERK was overseas in the army and all the good goal keepers were fighting a war to defend our canadian principlesroly armitagenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28305337.post-45397744167992912532014-09-05T16:15:07.651-07:002014-09-05T16:15:07.651-07:00No doubt in my mind he was the best the Maple leaf...No doubt in my mind he was the best the Maple leafs ever had, just compare his record to any other goalie that has ever played for the Blue and White. Nobody even close to his record. It is too bad the younger Maple Leaf fans did not have the opportunity to see him play. The older ones will remember him as the great one, as far as goalies go. Not only was he a fine gentleman he always had time for the kids. Hard to believe any "Coach" placed more players into the NHL when he coached the Marlies from 55 to 57 with two national championships. To name a few Baun, Pulford, Harris, Nevin and many many more. He also had a hand in the success of London Knights and Darryl Sittler as the coach of the Knights. If he is not one of the Toronto Maple Leafs Legends it would be a real tradety...he truly has a record that may never be broken.<br /><br />DonDon Tushinghamnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28305337.post-18446050747308724272013-10-01T18:00:20.859-07:002013-10-01T18:00:20.859-07:00Getting Broda on my Leaf sweater this yearGetting Broda on my Leaf sweater this yearAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28305337.post-9223220936419097112013-06-07T20:28:08.505-07:002013-06-07T20:28:08.505-07:00while growing up as a young boy in Victoria BC.

My dad would be in the locker room at the end of the game and there would be shots lined up on the bench for the Turk. I guess you would need that at the end of the game back then.

My parents moved to Hawaii in 65', so I was born in the islands. Needless to say, hockey wasn't really that big in Hawaii in the 70's and 80's. But, my Dad had a book, I believe it was called The Complete Encyclopedia of Hockey. I used to read that book, amazed at the guts these guys had for playing such a crazy sport, with no real protection.<BR/>I remember many names from that book, but the two I remember the most are Maurice 'The Rocket' Richard(sp?) and Turk Broda. I grew up playing sports, mostly in the goal. Turk Broda was my inspiration, although soccer and waterpolo aren't hockey, I still found myself drawing strength from examples of Turk's obvious hard core attitude in this book. <BR/>Great article and thanks for the memories.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
