  • (1981) LIONEL CONACHER: Canada's Answer to Jim Thorpe
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 3, No. 11 (1981) LIONEL CONACHER: Canada's Answer to Jim Thorpe By Bob Braunwart and Bob Carroll In 1950, while the Associated Press in the United States was selecting Jim Thorpe as the greatest football player and the greatest male athlete of the half century, a select Canadian panel of sports reporters and broadcasters was honoring Canada's native son, Lionel Pretoria Conacher, with the same impressive titles. There were other parallels in the lives of these two superb athletes. Although Conacher was a few years younger than Thorpe (he was born in 1901, Thorpe in 1888), their careers overlapped considerably. Thorpe entertained American spectators for more than twenty years from 1907 to 1929; Conacher starred in Canadian sports from 1916 to 1937. Both were all-around athletes excelling, it seemed, in any sport to which they set their minds -- Thorpe in track and field, football and baseball, Conacher in football, lacrosse, hockey, baseball, wrestling and boxing. Lionel first played organized football in 1912 with a Toronto junior team, the Capitals. Canadian football was different then from what it is today. There were fourteen players a side and a touchdown was worth only five points (as it had been in the U. S. before the 1912 season). Lionel played middle wing (tackle) with the Capitals in 1912- 15. They won the city championship each of these years. Lionel continued to play in the junior ranks with various Toronto teams through 1918. By this time he was also active in other sports. In 1916 he won the amateur lightweight wrestling championship of Ontario.

  • Phys-Ed Pre-Visit Activity
    PHYS-ED PRE-VISIT ACTIVITY Activity 1: Rebuild Many NHL teams are finding that the older arenas no longer satisfy the needs of a competitive, contemporary professional organization. As a result, the traditional hockey arenas are being gradually replaced by larger, revenue-generating, state-of-the-art sports complexes. 1. Determine a host city for a new Hockey Franchise. Using a city street map, find a suitable location, keeping in mind central areas. Design a unique, new arena for a new hockey franchise. In your design, consider: ice size access to dressing rooms audience size & distribution press boxes luxury boxes advertising parking and public washrooms public relations ice maintenance services for players and fans handicapped patrons non-hockey functions atmosphere transportation 2. Through independent research, examine the changes you have noticed from older rinks to new rinks.

  • Nhl Morning Skate – Feb. 9, 2021 Three Hard
    NHL MORNING SKATE – FEB. 9, 2021 THREE HARD LAPS * Auston Matthews, with goals in each of his last eight appearances, achieved a rare feat by scoring his fifth game-winning goal in just his 12th contest of 2020-21. * The Coyotes have scored two game-tying goals in the final five seconds of regulation this season - tied for the most by one team in a single season in NHL history. * Patrick Marleau’s ascension of the all-time games played list is set to see the 23-season NHL veteran pass Jaromir Jagr for third place in League history. MATTHEWS SCORES AGAIN, INCLUDING FIFTH GAME WINNER IN 12 CONTESTS Auston Matthews scored the first of two Maple Leafs goals in a span of 11 seconds to extend his goal streak to seven games, including one in each of his last eight appearances. Only two players in the last 25 years have had a longer run of consecutive games played with a goal. * Matthews, skating in his 12th contest of 2020-21 and 294th of his career, netted his fifth game- winning goal of the season and 300th point of his NHL career. Only three players in NHL history have required fewer games to register their fifth game-winning goal of a season – Nels Stewart (9 GP in 1928-29 w/ MMR), Brian Propp (10 GP in 1982-83 w/ PHI) and Charlie Conacher (10 GP in 1934-35 w/ TOR). * Monday’s victory helped the Maple Leafs collect their 10th win of the season. The 2020-21 campaign marks the fourth time in the NHL’s expansion era (since 1967-68) that Toronto was the League’s first team to reach the 10-win mark (tied or outright).

It was known as the colour barrier — a sort of unofficial, unwritten agreement among owners of professional sports teams that only white athletes should be allowed to play. (The amazing Jackie Robinson broke baseball’s colour barrier in 1946 when he played a season with the Montreal Royals, the Brooklyn Dodgers' minor league team.) It took more than a decade for the same thing to happen in the NHL. The player was Willie O’Ree, a speedy skater who had played all over New Brunswick, Quebec and Ontario before the Boston Bruins put him on the ice in 1958. He retired from the game in the late 1970s.

    John K. Samson PO Box 83‐971 Corydon Avenue Winnipeg, Manitoba R3M 3S3 February 23, 2013 Mr. Bill Hay, Chairman of the Board, and Members of the Selection Committee The Hockey Hall of Fame 30 Yonge Street Toronto, Ontario M5V 1X8 Dear Mr. Bill Hay, Chairman of the Board, and Members of the Selection Committee, Hockey Hall of Fame; In accordance with the Hockey Hall of Fame’s Policy Regarding Public Submission of Candidates Eligible for Election into Honoured Membership, please accept this bona‐fide submission putting forth the name Reggie Joseph Leach for your consideration. A member of the Berens River First Nation, Reggie Joseph Leach was born in 1950 in Riverton, Manitoba. While facing the injustices of racism and poverty, and playing on borrowed skates for much of his childhood, Leach’s terrific speed and honed shooting skills earned him the nickname “The Riverton Rifle.” He went on to become one of the most gifted and exciting hockey players of his generation. His pro‐hockey accomplishments are truly impressive: two‐time NHL All Star, Conn Smythe Trophy winner (the only non‐goalie from a losing team to ever win it), 1975 Stanley Cup winner, 1976 Canada Cup winner, and Regular Season Goal Scoring Leader, to name a few. His minor league record is remarkable, too. As a legendary member of the MJHL/WCJHL Flin Flon Bombers, Mr. Leach led the league in goal‐scoring twice, and was placed on the First All‐ Star team every season he played. The statistical analysis in the pages that follow, prepared by Phil Russell of Dozen Able Men Data Design (Ottawa, Ontario), makes a clear and persuasive case that Mr.
