Heather Newby you have left out the name of Lin Thompson the captain.

Keith Funnell
Maye Dunn yes, exactly what I was thinking. Elizabeth Ann Hoani another of your dad

Christine Pointon

Maye Dunn I often see the pending posts but am limited for time to pop them on Recollect, and do know that quite often they are short of information so it’s obvious that the name was omitted by the person who supplied the photo.

Annette Rosanowski

Rick Barker
Now that was a champion team!!
Tommy Watson was simply amazing. Best coach ever

Rick Barker
At primary school Tommy used to.take the whole hockey team to Cobden for hockey in his Morris 8, 11 players, 11 hockey sticks and Murray Moffits goalie pads. People used to line up at watch coach Tommy and the hockey 11 emerge from.the Morrie 8. Tools me Yeats to realise what they were watching. Tommy made it possible for all us kids to.enjoy ourselves. Thank you Tommy.. For those unsure about a Morris 8, is one.of similar colors to Tommys. It was a squeeze

Ange Beck
Is that the Tommy Watson that trained trotters at Victoria Park in the 80’s?

Bill Johnsen
Ange Beck yes ...think he had stables out Omoto ...

Ange Beck
Tom never trained at Omoto (that was the gallopers out there) however he was at V.Park for years, I worked for him, he had a few handy horses, 1 in particular was Taxing, a strapping big mare that went on to leave some nice foals that won a few races.
Bill Johnsen
Cheers Ange He loved his horses did Tommy...thought he had stables out on Kaiata Straight not at Omoto ...but a while back so maybe somebody else...was there a training track out there too perhaps..Ange Beck

Ange Beck
Bill Johnsen oh yes he had a wee training track and some stables at Dobson

Delia Hendry
Elizabeth Betty Woods Sam Bell ?

Jennie McKinnon
Lots of cousins there.

Raewyn Louttit
Yes

George McKenzie
Was always proud of all of my cousins and their association with hockey and as a youngster used to especially look up to George (Geordie). He was an excellent middle distance runner in his youth.

Don Neale
The trophies are the Nimmo Rosebowl, Ken Balchin Cup, Burnett-White Cup, Spencer Memorial Cup, George Nelson Challenge Cup. Info from p56 of the WCHA Centennial book "Sweep of the Coast".
