Talking of ice Hockey
I can clearly recall the horror that greated me back in the fall/autumn of 1969 when I had to admit to close friends that, about to return to the UK after nearly 6 years in La Belle Province,I had never been to a Montreal Canadiens ice hockey match. They immediately clubbed together and presented me with a pair of tickets for an upcoming game at:-
The Montreal Forum then the Canadien's home
I have never ever been much of a sports fan, but had quite enjoyed an occasional game of ice hockey on colour television.
However I thoroughtly enjoyed the spectacle colours and excitement at my one live game
For a long time I have racked my Brian to try to remember the name of the biggest Montreal Canadien's player while I was there and having now found and perused the team lists from my era such as that at:-
http://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/l...000451965.html
the only name that is even vaguely familiar is Jean Beliveau so it may well be him:-
John Fowles
Unless anybody up here knows different that is!!
