The WCBL has made this decision due to the finan- cial situation the Mils cur- rently find themselves in. It’s a situation that’s not unique to Melville, in fact, it’s prominent across the league; the Yorkton Cardinals facing the exact same issue this year, and Weyburn Beavers a few years back. “For the last number of years the Mils’ ball club has struggled financially to keep current with bills, (which included league fees).

A mysterious fire on Dec. 1 gutted the house on 4th Avenue N.E. where Garry Williams lived with his partner Joan Sparvier and their five children between the ages of two and 22. After that fire the family moved into the Ituna hotel while the damage to their house was being re- paired. They were burned out of the hotel when it was de- stroyed by fire on Dec. 10. They were about to move back into the house in early January when it again caught fire. “We’re really scared, afraid. We’re all jumpy. None of this makes any sense,” Sparvier told Grasslands News last week as she fought back tears. “I’m getting Scheer presents Legion funding ALAN HUSTAK | GRASSLANDS NEWS paranoid.” Legion vice president Jenny Melanson accepts a $15,605 COVID-19 relief cheque from local MP The family lost everything in the first fire which Andrew Scheer.

Abstract The Pacific Coast Hockey Association (PCHA) was a professional North American hockey league that operated from 1911 to 1924. With markets in Victoria, Vancouver, New Westminster, Seattle, and Portland, the bourgeoning league was a viable competitor to the NHA and offered a distinctive approach to the developing sport. Through innovations and rule changes, the PCHA made significant strides in player safety, in line with the vision of “clean” hockey promoted by the league’s founders, Frank and Lester Patrick. In turn, these innovations were represented through newspaper accounts from the period, which helped promote a modern, scientific, and highly- marketable brand of hockey in Western Canada.

  • Honors & Awards
    2009-10 WCHA MEN’S YEARBOOK HONORS & AWARDS THE HOBEY BAKER MEMORIAL AWARD HISTORY OF THE AWARD he Hobey Baker Memorial Award is presented annually to the college hockey player who best exemplifies the qualities that Princeton University’s Hobey Baker himself demon- Tstrated as an athlete and as a servant of his country in the early 1900’s. Hobey Baker was a pure sportsman and despised foul play. As a player, he opened up the game with his speed and skills, setting new standards for the way the game was played. Prior to the announcement of the winner, there is an announcement of the Top 10 Finalists and then a Hobey ‘Hat Trick’ of the top three finalists. The first recipient of the award in 1981 – Neal Broten of Minnesota – was from the WCHA. Other Hobey Baker winners from the WCHA have been Tom Kurvers, D, UMD, 1984; Bill Watson, F, UMD, 1985; Tony Hrkac, F, UND, 1987; Robb Stauber, G, UM, 1988; Chris Marinucci, F, UMD, 1994; Brian Bonin, F, UM, 1996; Jordan Leopold, D, UM, 2002; Peter Sejna, F, CC, 2003; Junior Lessard, F, UMD, 2004; Marty Sertich, F, CC, 2005; Matt Carle, D, DU, 2006; and Ryan Duncan, F, UND, 2007.

THE HOBEY BAKER STORY Hobey Baker had all the attributes of a fabulous athlete: a great physique, fantastic reflexes, instant coordination of hand and eye, iron discipline, blazing courage. But he was different. Hobey Baker was the college athlete supreme: The gentleman sportsman, the amateur in the pure sense, playing the game for the sport, who never fouled, despised publicity and refused professional offers.
