  • (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. How have they adapted over the years and how do you anticipate further changes? _________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________ HOCKEY HALL OF FAME SENIOR EDUCATION PROGRAM 1 PHYS-ED HALL-VISIT ACTIVITIES Hint: To help you find the answers, use the guide map found at the back. 1.

Chantal Petitclerc (born 1969) Saint-Marc-des-Carrières, Que. When an accident at age 13 left her paraplegic — unable to use her legs — Petitclerc started Wikipedia swimming to keep fit and get stronger.

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.
