  • August 30 2018 Bulletin
    The Bulletin of The Rotary Club of Calgary South Ken Copithorne: Family History Glenn Potter began introducing our guest by say- ing that Last spring Orma came home with a book on about Pioneer Families of Alberta. The book almost magically opened to an article on the Copithorne family. I shared the article with Ken and at the same time asked him if he’d tell the family story to the club – so here we are. Ken just so you know you can blame your predicament on Orma. Ken grew up in that rural to urban environment. He attended Western Canada High and then went on to study agriculture at the University of Saskatchewan. Upon graduation he moved into the ranching and cattle export areas and through his companies and consulting sent livestock and agricultural products to places from Mexico to Korea and Japan. Naturally he travelled to most of those places as well. Somewhere in here was time for a family and the raising of children to carry on the Copithorne tradi- tions.

  • Larry Kwong 2016 Founder’S Award Recipient
    LARRY KWONG 2016 FOUNDER’S AWARD RECIPIENT Larry Kwong played in only one game – a total of about 90 seconds - in the National Hockey League, with the New York Rangers in 1947-48. But as the first player of Asian descent to play in the NHL, Larry broke the league’s colour barrier 10 years before Willie O’Ree, and became a hero to thousands of Chinese-Canadians, starting a change in attitudes about what a person of minority heritage could achieve in this country. Larry was a provincial and national champion, top scorer for several high-level teams, and the MVP of the Quebec Senior Hockey League (QSHL), arguably the world’s best league after the NHL. Kwong also was a major figure in international sport, as a player/coach and coach with three club teams in Switzerland (1958-64). During World War II, Larry starred with the Red Deer Wheelers of the Alberta Inter-Services League, before signing with the Rangers in 1946. He played parts of two seasons with the New York Rovers of the Eastern Hockey League and the Quebec Senior Hockey League, before his historic game with the Rangers. Overall, Larry played nine seasons in the QSHL, one with the Rovers, seven with the Valleyfield Braves (1948-55), and one with Trois Rivieres. He was league MVP in 1951 with Valleyfield, and averaged more than a point a game in his QSHL career competing against future NHL stars such as Jean Beliveau, Dickie Moore, Jacques Plante, Gerry McNeil and Jean-Guy Talbot. From 1955-57, Larry had stints in the International League, Quebec Hockey League and Ontario Senior League, before moving to Europe to play and coach for 15 years.

  • Reprising the Trail Smoke Eaters: Men’S Hockey in a Mid- Twentieth Century Canadian Resource Community
    REPRISING THE TRAIL SMOKE EATERS: MEN’S HOCKEY IN A MID- TWENTIETH CENTURY CANADIAN RESOURCE COMMUNITY STEVEN D. SZILAGYI Bachelor of Science, University of Lethbridge, 2009 A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies of the University of Lethbridge in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree MASTER OF ARTS Kinesiology and Physical Education University of Lethbridge LETHBRIDGE, ALBERTA, CANADA © Steven D. Szilagyi, 2015 ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! REPRISING THE TRAIL SMOKE EATERS: MEN’S HOCKEY IN A MID- TWENTIETH CENTURY CANADIAN RESOURCE COMMUNITY STEVEN D. SZILAGYI Date of Defence: December 15, 2015 Dr. R. Kossuth Assistant Professor Ph.D. Supervisor Dr. C. Adams Associate Professor Ph.D. Thesis Examination Committee Member Dr. H. MacDonald Associate Professor Ph.D. Thesis Examination Committee Member Dr. C. Gonzalez Associate Professor Ph.D. Chair, Thesis Examination Committee Abstract The Trail Smoke Eaters hockey club remains the only Canadian club team to have won two World Championships. The 1939 and 1961 World Championship teams have become mythologized through narrative accounts and popular folklore that remain the focus of memorializing these teams. This study considers the impact the team had on the community and the Consolidated Mining and Smelting Company of Canada, and who benefitted from this winning team. Relationships between company management, players, and the community are examined to aid in explaining the degree to which workers, who were also hockey players, structured their own lives and the degree to which their lives were structured by the company. Company support followed the success in 1939 in the form of gift giving and player recruitment. The Smoke Eaters became mythologized by narrative accounts in an effort to equate both victories and tie the 1961 championship to the community.

  • Hockey Legend Immortalized in Film
    9/21/11 BCLocalNews.com - Hockey legend immortalized in film Powered by Hockey legend immortalized in film Larry Kwong, making his New York Rangers debut, from a 1946 Acme News picture. submitted By Kristin Froneman - Vernon Morning Star Published: September 18, 2011 1:00 AM Updated: September 20, 2011 2:57 PM www.printthis.clickability.com/pt/cpt?expire=&title=BCLocalNews.com+-+Hockey+legend+immortalized+in… 1/4 9/21/11 BCLocalNews.com - Hockey legend immortalized in film Updated: September 20, 2011 2:57 PM As a young Chinese-Canadian, Chad Soon had few sports heroes from the same ethnic background as himself to look up to until he heard about Larry Kwong. One of the subjects of a new film that will be screened at the Towne Cinema Wednesday, Kwong, born in Vernon in 1923, is a Second World War veteran who became the first Chinese-Canadian to ever play in the National Hockey League. Covering 150 years of history and shot in five countries –– with Vernon and Penticton representing Canada –– the film introduces Kwong’s story to a global audience. And it’s a story that Soon, a teacher now based in Vernon, grasped onto when he first heard it. “I picked up on Larry Kwong’s story when I moved to Vernon from Ontario three years ago. I always had an interest in hockey and my grandfather, who was also a fan, told me about Larry,” said Soon. “When I looked into it, I was frustrated that there were hardly any tributes to him. He broke the colour barrier 10 years before the first black player came on the scene, but he was ignored and forgotten.” Twelve years in the making, Lost Years ventures into that history to the sites of lost Chinatowns around the country, uncovering past injustices, such as the treatment of Chinese immigrant workers on Canada’s railways, and follows the reverberations to the present day.
