THE FIELD of PLAY: MILITARY and SPORT in SOUTHERN ALBERTA COMMUNITIES DURING the SECOND WORLD WAR Jennifer Kabeary Bachelor of A THE FIELD OF PLAY: MILITARY AND SPORT IN SOUTHERN ALBERTA COMMUNITIES DURING THE SECOND WORLD WAR Jennifer Kabeary Bachelor of Arts Kinesiology, University of Lethbridge, 2009 A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies of the University of Lethbridge in Partial Fulfilment of the MASTER OF ARTS Kinesiology and Physical Education University of Lethbridge LETHBRIDGE, ALBERTA, CANADA Abstract Prior to the beginning of the Second World War discussions of air force training between Britain and Canada, were ongoing, but never agreed upon. The declarations of war on Germany from Britain and Canada forced these discussions to a resolution as the air force was a crucial component of military operations. On December 17, 1939 the agreement known as the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan (BCATP) was signed. The agreement intended that Canada would train all of the Allied air force throughout the war. The repercussions of the agreement meant that communities across the country became home to training schools and air force personnel. This study employs geographic and relational aspects of community theory in the investigation of the role of sport in the relationship building process between military and civilian communities in Southern Alberta. Sport provided common ties and opportunities for social interaction in the relationship-building process between BCATP schools and Southern Alberta communities. Towns were losing many of the men and women who were playing sport as they joined the services and air force personnel were replacing them; thereby keeping sport at all levels from completely shutting down during the war. This study highlights the changes in the sporting landscape as military sport transitioned from a spectacle to becoming indispensable to local communities. Specific case studies of basketball and lacrosse in Macleod, hockey in Claresholm and Lethbridge, soccer in Medicine Hat and sporting charity events indicate the depth to which schools integrated into towns through sport. Situated within pertinent secondary sources from history, sociology and sport studies this study draws on six Southern Alberta newspapers, town council meeting minutes and archival data from the Nanton Bomber Museum, The Claresholm Museum, The Galt Museum and Archives and the Esplanade Heritage Centre. iii Acknowledgements To all those who have fought for freedom in Canada, we Canadians are ever in your debt.

The game was held at the White City Stadium, built for the 1908 London Summer Olympics. It was played following American rules in the first half and Canadian Rules for the second half. The Mustangs came out victorious in front of a packed house in a game that went in to the second half scoreless. 1 In Canada, similar games among military personnel were taking place in front of civilian crowds. Towards the end of October 1940 there was strife between the western and eastern football teams, due to variations in rules, the impacts of the war, and loss of players and money, which created a situation that was leading to the cancellation of the Grey Cup game. However, the president of the Sport Service League 2 in Canada saw an opportunity to raise some money for the war effort. He organized for two rugby games, one with western rules and the other under eastern rules, to take place between the East and West championship rugby (football) winners to determine who would be awarded the Grey Cup on November 20 and December 7 in Ontario. All of the surplus earnings from the game went towards the Canadian Soldiers Sports Fund. 3 Sport did not die during the war, but it did change. During the Second World War, Canada had the opportunity and responsibility of training the Allied air force under the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan (BCATP) agreement established between Canada and Britain in 1939. The plan brought air force training schools to all parts of Canada. Seven Southern Alberta communities, Medicine Hat, Lethbridge, Claresholm, Macleod, High River, Pearce, and Vulcan,

  • Canadian All-Stars, 1932-50
    PFRA ANNUAL 1986 1 CANADIAN ALL-STARS, 1932-50 Bob Braunwart and Bob Carroll In Canadian football the Schenley Awards sometimes overshadow the annual league all-star selections. The Schenleys have been awarded to the most outstanding player, Canadian player, lineman and rookie of each season, beginning in 1953. These are not the only talent awards in Canadian football, however. At least since 1932, sportswriters or coaches or combinations of the two have chosen eastern and western all-star teams. Some of the earlier listings have been seldom reprinted. Here is the complete list of official teams from 1932 to 1950. Presumably there were unofficial listings before 1932, but that is a topic for further research. Most of the early eastern teams were chosen by the press. It is not clear how the western all- stars were chosen. 1932 All Eastern (Canadian Press) Flying wing -- Abe Eliowitz, Ottawa Half -- Frank Turville, Hamilton Flying wing -- D.

  • History of the Hamilton Tiger-Cats Football Club
    history of the hamilton tiger-cats football club The Hamilton Tiger-Cats Football Club is a professional Canadian football team based in Hamilton, Ontario, and currently a member of the East Division in the Canadian Football League. The team was formed in 1950 by the merger of the Hamilton Tigers and Hamilton Wildcats. Of the two teams, the Tigers were the older and more established franchise dating back to the late 1800s, while the Wildcats were a much newer club. For most of the period between 1900 and 1950, there were two foot- ball teams in Hamilton: the Tigers and one of a string of often short-lived teams that culminated with the Wildcats in 1950. Since the 1950 merger, the Tiger-Cats have won eight Grey Cup championships, most recently in 1999. The team also recognizes all 15 Grey Cups won by Hamilton-based teams as part of its history since each franchise is connected to the current Tiger-Cats club. The Tigers won five Grey Cups, while the Hamilton Flying Wildcats and Hamilton Alerts each won once. However, the CFL does not recognize these wins under one franchise, rather as the individual franchises that won them. If one includes their historical lineage, Hamilton football clubs won league championships in every decade of the 20th century, a feat matched by only one other North American franchise in professional sports, the Triple-A Rochester Red Wings Baseball Club of the International League. After winning at least once in every decade of the 20th century, neither team won a championship in the first decade of the 21st century.
