Bigger and Better Shop By Scott Taylor

Winnipeggers know Joe Daley well. In fact, many of the city’s older hockey fans know him as “the Holy Goalie,” one of only five players to have played every season of the old World Hockey Association’s existence with the same team. Other, younger Winnipeggers, know Joe Daley as the nice man who sits behind the counter and talks hock- ey with some crazy oldtimers at Joe Daley’s Sports Cards in Polo Park. Well, for Joe Daley, the times they are a-changin’. Now in his 22nd year in business in Winnipeg, he and his talented son, Travis, have just moved Joe Daley’s Sportcards from Polo Park to a larger, more spacious enclave at 513 St. Mary’s Road. It’s bigger, brighter and has a lot more space for Travis to move his custom framing operation in with his dad. Joe Daley today in his new shop.

Bobby Kromm (the Jets coach), told me to cherish it because, ‘They don’t give them out freely.’ So that’s the only trophy I ever won that my wife lets me keep on display.” Joe and Darlene had two kids, Travis and Todd, a successful sales representative, and of course they settled in Winnipeg. They both loved and appreciated the time Joe played for the Jets. “I was proud of my entire career as a Winnipeg Jet,” said Joe, who was a member of all three Avco Cup championship teams. “But nothing was better than winning three championships.” Sadly, there was never a goal- tender to match Daley’s career after the Jets joined the NHL.
