Default Julie's hockey article: " Vezina, the Bright and Morning Star"

Posted By: Julie

Here's the article I wrote for VCBC, about Vezina, the Canadiens' (only!) goalie from 1910-25, and early hockey. Criticisms and corrections are welcome! Edited by Ben Fisher.

Nice effort.

P.S. In paragraph 14, I believe what he wore on his head was a "toque" and not a "torque."

Great article Julie - I enjoyed it a lot, thanks for writing it. I also enjoyed the pix of that Sweet Caporal Postcard - that's only the second I've seen.

Julie

Thanks for the interesting article (perhaps it inspired me this afternoon to score my first "one-timer" goal in at least five years.)

While going to university in Montreal, I had the opportunity to expand my studies at Toe Blake's Taverne on Ste Catherine street. It was a mammoth tavern, seating for probably 300, but never more than 25 or so in there. The servers wore formal red dinner jackets and bow ties and believe it or not, women weren't allowed in --by law. The walls were adorned with Montreal Canadiens memorabilia--including photos of Georges, and the place was a quick ten minute walk from the Forum. Sadly, it was destroyed a few years later to make way for a downtown shopping centre. I believe that the memorabilia did make its way to the auction floor.

As for Georges, a tragic end also met his game used goalie pads, for (if I recall correctly), a set were cut up to make those awful insert cards

Julie,

Your Carleton and Univ. of Chicago training comes in handy! I noted the
training via one of your earlier threads and was obviously impressed!
A great read!

best

Barry Arnold

mentioned by name the two who did survive.

For some reason, I thought of "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn." The sister of the main character's mother, (called "Sissy," approrpiately enough), goes from man to man (always getting married but never getting divorced), looking for one who will give her a living child. The babies are alll born, more or less, dead. Apparently, the inability to absorb oxigen naturally at birth can run in the family, or genes, or something. Finally, she has a baby in a hospital (it must be sometime in the twenties, and she has married a wealthier man) and she hears the doctor say "oxigen," and her dead baby comes to life...

As for infancy, a generation earlier (1906), my grandmother had a child between my uncle and my father, who lived 6 months..nobody has the slightest idea what he died of...infant deaths were so common that "infancy" was considered a sufficient reason to die.

But 22 is more than a guy's fair share..

good stuff!

one little correction: i'm pretty sure the chicoutimi team is the "sagueneens," not the "sangueneens."

Sagueneens it is. Thank you!

How about this one: in my last footnote, I say that Vezina is credited with the first assist ever by a goalie: he kicked the puck to LaLonde, who scored. Then I say, it moust have been a long kick and a long shot. But isn't a man credited with a score even if he takes the puck from far out, weaves it around, and shoots from close in? I've been waiting for someone to say something about that one...

Great read Julie.

One minor thing and its a nit - Johnny Bower is spelled with an 'h' before the 'nn's

Heres a Hockey stat database you might enjoy that also lists all know cards by player, lest you don't know of it

Is it really like that? Maybe it was, but Bill already fixed it.
