In a sporting sense, 1980 will be remembered as the year in which world-wide interest in speed skating was revived as a result of the accomplishments of American Eric Heiden at the Lake Placid Olympic Winter Games.But that interest has never waned in New Brunswick – a province that has produced some of the greatest world-class skaters of all time. Johnny Quigg of Sussex is the latest to join this provincial honour roll of speed skating immortals. His career spanned a period of two decades beginning with a Canadian Juvenile title in Ottawa in 1930 and ending with consecutive Maritime Senior indoor titles in 1948 and 1949.In between were City, Maritime and Canadian Championships as well as a host of silver and bronze medal performances in State and National meets in the United States. Indoor speed skating has come of age:a Canadian, Gaetan Boucher, now holds most of the world titles.But it was Johnny Quigg and his fellow Saint John area skaters who, as pioneers, made it all possible.
