Sitting - George, right wing; Cecil, goal; Cliff, left wing. Midway between the towns of Treherne and Holland there lives a Manitoba pioneer, Elias Biglow, and his wife. To them have been born eight sons and three daughters. Seven of these sons are hockey players of considerable repute in their district. The eighth son, Jim, is yet too young, but promises to be a comer. Three years ago Mr. Biglow formed his boys into a hockey team, and these boys who play with the Holland and Treherne teams, often against each other, have on occasion, teamed up to trim to a finish either of their regular teams. They are pictured above. At present Cliff is in the University at Winnipeg, and Harry works in this city. Harry is a war veteran and only recently has recovered from wounds sufficiently to play much hockey. George (15) is breaking in this season to replace one of the older boys who cannot always be on deck for a game. The Biglow brothers are managed by their dad, who is a fan of the first water - and if there are any 'brother' teams in the province who would like to 'face off' with these boys they will probably be able to arrange a match by writing Mr. Biglow at Holland. These boys have had their own rink down on the home farm to play on for the last fifteen years. All are farmers except Cliff and Harry."

Obituary (Winnipeg Free Press, 20 Sep 2008): "Alfred James William Wright, age of 94 years, passed away peacefully at Lions Prairie Manor, Portage la Prairie on September 3, 2008. He will be sadly missed by daughters Muriel (Rick Pacey) of Vancouver and Rilda (Steve Beilgard) of Gillette, Wyoming and their families, five grandchildren and nine great- grandchildren, one sister Phyllis Lee (Cliff) of Treherne, and several nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his wife Trevona (Twiss) Knowles in May 2007, his parents Tom and Nellie Wright of Treherne, three brothers, Joey (age 2, 1917), Leslie 1944 in a farm tractor accident and Stanley 1992 and sister-in-law Lois Wright 1994 of Colorado Springs, US. Alf was born the first son of Tom and Nellie Wright on June 13, 1914 in the Boyne Creek District near Treherne, Manitoba and attended school at Boyne Creek District School. Upon completing elementary school he helped on the farm until he joined the Army in 1940. He joined the Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders in early 1940, was shipped overseas in 1941

[email protected] 23 Updated March 26, 2012 and stationed in London, England. He was wounded in the Battle of Dieppe and spent almost a year in hospital in England. In June 1944, he married Nora Power of Ireland and sent his bride home to Canada to live with his parents. In April 1945 their daughter Muriel was born and Rilda arrived in 1951. This completed their family, and in 1967 they were divorced. In 1973 he married Trevona (Twiss) Knowles of Winnipeg.

Upon arriving home from overseas, he learned cabinet making and for over 25 years worked for Display Fixtures in Winnipeg, building and installing cupboards all over Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Northern Ontario. Alf was a member of the Masonic Lodge and the Royal Canadian Legion for many years in St James, Winnipeg. He was a proud grandfather and nothing pleased him more than a visit or a phone call, or to go and visit them. They were all far away but until his health failed they went to visit often. Alf had a keen sense of humor and loved to tease, be it a sister, niece, nephew or nurse. For the past six years he has been a resident of Lion's Prairie Manor in Portage la Prairie, where he was always content and happy. We express our deepest appreciation and thanks to the staff for their care; we know he loved you all. Cremation has taken place and funeral service was held in the Chapel of the Omega Funeral Home, Portage la Prairie on September 13, 2008 with the Reverend Marg Scott officiating. Eulogy was given by Phyllis Lee and a poem, 'The Dash,' and words of remembrance were given by Steve and Rilda Beilgard. . . The burial followed in Boyne Creek Cemetery in the family plot. . ."
