Even today, many sports historians consider Abbott one of Regina’s greatest athletes. Originally born in Orillia, Ontario, Abbott moved to Regina at an early age and history was made. While in high school, Abbott excelled in a variety of sports including lacrosse, baseball, rugby, football, basketball and hockey. Remembered across southern Saskatchewan as a speedy right winger who had a knack of putting the puck in the net, Abbott was at home on the hockey rink. As a member of the Regina Shamrocks Hockey Club and the Regina Bees Capital Hockey Club, Abbott helped his teammates capture the Valkenburg Cup in 1911 and 1912, respectively, Saskatchewan senior hockey’s provincial amateur championship. The talented Abbott continued to enjoy success on the ice. He was a key member of the Regina Victorias when they became Senior Hockey Champions of Canada in 1913 and 1914 winning the Allan Cup. 3ULRUWRHQOLVWLQJLQWKHPLOLWDU\DQGKHDGLQJRYHUVHDVWRÀJKWLQ:RUOG:DU Abbott piloted Regina to a western championship in rugby in 1915. $EERWWZDVDOVRDWUXHOHDGHURQWKHEDWWOHÀHOG+HZDVDZDUGHGWKH0LOLWDU\&URVV DQGDQH[WUD%DUIRUKLVEUDYHU\DQGJDOODQWU\LQWKHÀHOGEHIRUHKLVXQWLPHO\GHDWK in August, 1918.

In his three seasons with the Saskatoon Blades, Bourne showcased his talent with 97 goals and 224 career points. Bourne’s junior hockey exploits with the Blades were forever enshrined when his #12 was lifted to the rafters in 2005. Bourne’s effort and determination as a junior hockey star were rewarded as he was drafted by both the National Hockey League’s (NHL) Kansas City Scouts and the World Hockey Association’s Indianapolis Racers in 1974. Prior to the start of the 1974-75 NHL season, Bourne was traded to the New York Islanders. Bourne, a member of the New York Islanders Hall of Fame, spent 14 seasons in the NHL with New York and Los Angeles. Bourne played 964 career games in the NHL netting 258 goals and 582 points. He was also a very instrumental part of the Islander dynasty as he recorded at least thirty goals per season three times and over twenty goals per season three other times. His leadership was a key ingredient of the Islander teams that captured the Stanley Cup four consecutive times. Bourne led the Islanders in playoff scoring en route to their fourth Stanley Cup in 1983. Always a top playoff performer in his career, Bourne scored 40 times and assisted on 56 others for 96 points in 139 playoff games. In 1984 Bourne represented Canada as a member of the Canada Cup Team. He saw action in 8 games recording 3 assists. %RXUQHVSHQWWKHÀQDOWZRVHDVRQVRI KLV1+/FDUHHUZLWKWKH/RV$QJHOHV.LQJV ,QKLVÀQDO\HDULQWKH1+/KHZDVDZDUGHGWKH%LOO0DVWHUWRQ7URSK\IRU perseverance.
