Ernie Wakely Ernie is a true case of real perseverance. He turned pro in 1960 and by 1969 had played a grand total of 2 NHL games, both with the Montreal Canadiens and those 2 games were 6 years apart. Montreal traded Ernie to St. Louis in 1969 and that season he led the NHL in goals against average after replacing Hall of Famer Glenn Hall in the nets! How’s that for sticking with it only to prove yourself! He must have learned a lot as a back-up to the legendary Jacques Plante with the Blues. The next season, Plante was gone from St. Louis and Ernie had the main role to himself. He played 51 games that season, losing only 14 of them, and played in his first and only all-star game. He led the Blues to the Stanley Cup finals only to lose in four straight games to Bobby Orr and the Boston Bruins. After one last season with the Blues, Ernie signed with the WHA’s Winnipeg Jets in his home province. After two seasons in Winnipeg, Ernie traveled throughout the WHA to teams like the San Diego Mariners, Cincinnati Stingers, Houston Aeros, Birmingham Bulls and Phoenix Roadrunners. He was a WHA Second Team All Star in 1978 with the Aeros. Ernie was an outspoken Christian during his years in hockey and it was his witness that led teammate and fellow goaltender, Joe Daley, to give up drinking and give his life over to the Lord.

"I don't like to see anyone getting away with any pussyfooting." Ms. Arkin. a Business Administration student, said there is plenty of Red River Community College Student Newspaper room for improvement in the Vice-President's position. • "I don't want secrets kept from the students." she said, pointing to the housing project as an example. "A lot of people knew nothing about it while all the decisions were made. Students were kept in the dark because the S.A. didn't want any opposition." She also had harsh words for the isolated stand of recent Vice- Presidents. "They have lots of power," she said, "but they should still be Election Candidates close to the students." "I'm also for cutbacks in expenses," she continued. "I understand at one meeting someone seconded a motion that Christmas bonuses be given - Who Are They? largest margin of victory was by to executives — it was recorded in the minutes." She stressed it was this Kathy Eaton who led her nearest kind of waste of students' money that she is against. the community really don't know Business Administration rival by 171 votes (410 to 239).

Season IV: 1975-1976
Season IV: Jets Capture First Crown Tardif & Cloutier Scoring Stars 1975-1976 Fighting Mars League Image The World Hockey Association opened its fourth season with high hopes after Award Winners three previous seasons of steadily increasing attendance figures. Two teams would not be back for the 1975-76 campaign: the Chicago Cougars folded immediately after the previous season’s end, and the Baltimore Blades ceased operations not long after. In their places were two expansion franchises: the Cincinnati Stingers and the Denver Spurs. There was just one franchise shift: the Vancouver Blazers moved across the Rockies to Calgary, becoming the Cowboys. The fourteen teams were divided into three divisions. Calgary, Edmonton, Québec, Toronto and Winnipeg made up the Canadian Division; Cincinnati, Cleveland, Indianapolis and New England comprised the Eastern Division, Most Valuable Player Rookie of the Year Gordie Howe Trophy Lou Kaplan Trophy while the Western Division included Denver, Houston, Minnesota, Phoenix and Marc Tardif Mark Napier San Diego. Québec Toronto Denver’s Spurs could not make it to the new year; they vacated Denver at the end of December, played two home games in Ottawa in early January 1976, and disbanded altogether two weeks later. Six weeks after Ottawa’s departure, the Minnesota Fighting Saints folded, paring the league to twelve teams. The patchwork schedule used for the remainder of the season saw some teams play 81 games so that other teams could reach 80. Disparities abounded: Québec and Toronto tangled 16 times, while Winnipeg and San Diego squared off on only three occasions. Best Goaltender Best Defenseman Winnipeg and Québec fought hard for the top spot in the Canadian Division, Ben Hatskin Trophy Dennis Murphy Trophy Winnipeg squeaking ahead with 106 points, two ahead of Québec.

For the Record
FOR THE RECORD MESSAGE FROM PRESIDENT HUGH VASSOS We are entering a new era in the life of the Saskatchewan Sports Hall of Fame. We need to make improvements in virtually all areas of our operations while focusing on our core business…the preservation and education of this province’s rich and proud sports history. Now is the time for everyone with a vested interest in the Hall of Fame to step forward and do their part to make this a better place. Our Board of Directors and Staff are leading the way. Over the past few months we have reviewed the way we are currently operating and developed a plan for the way we need and want to work from this point forward. On April 16th we announced the first of these plans including a new visual identity that replaces a dated logo with a more dynamic image that better reflects our new attitude and sense of direction for the future. A new online presence and domain name (www.sasksportshalloffame.com) that adopts a more contemporary look and meshes with our social media applications (@SaskSportsHF and www.facebook.com/SaskSportsHF). In order to put our new Strategic Plan into motion it will take resources and that’s where you come in. We have made the decision to create our own destiny and have launched an exciting new self-help program entitled the Sports Investors Club. This program is poised to generate up to 50% of our operating revenue while allowing us to also start funding new exhibits and programs.
