Guess Who (One Answer)



Hi Marty, hope all is well with you and that you are not in the flood plain. Normand's article about Keith Hollingdrake reminded me of a couple of other "Parkers" who followed Keith into the Big City the next year to play for the "Snowdon Ponsards"( see attached photo) can anyone identify the person in the picture with me?


Anyone familiar with Montreal circa 1959 would be aware of the shortage of indoor rinks and while we practised at a variety of rinks our home ice was The Montreal Forum( The Shrine) what a treat for a couple of 18 year olds. I'm not sure how many people are aware of this also but back then when a hockey player in the province of Quebec signed his club and Quebec Hockey association card he also had to sign a card that made him the property of "Les Canadiens" for life or until he was released or traded.

PS when I was checking out me photo album for the hockey picture I came across another which I think will test your subscribers memory.

Thanks John McC
