Hundreds of young (and old) hockey players will be lacing up their skates as the 2016-17 season kicks off this month. Check out these young fans of the sport from about 60 years ago. From left to right they are Roy MacGregor, Peter Salmon, Tim Kelly, Don Strano, and Doug Conway. Linda Kelly, who submitted the photo (thanks, Linda!) tells us this was from a weekend game of local kids. Tim was wearing a Detroit Red Wings jersey because he was on the team opposing the Leafs. Can you add any details about this photo or some hockey memories of your own?

Two of these fine lads played another form of hockey, back in the day, Floor Hockey. Pete Salmon and Doug Conway were two of the best at it. Sutherland Hall every Thursday night was the locale for rugged action on the hardwood floor at our Scout meeting. Cheap sport to play, just cut off your old hockey stick blade and lay some tape on both ends. A rubber puck wasn’t used, it was replaced with a leather donut. No equipment was used so your legs from the knees down had a lot purple bruises all season. Thanks for the great photo.
