His hockey career spanned the years 1946 to 1963,- a time when playing coaches were still in vogue, when defensemen were mainly of the “stay-at-home” and “rock ‘em” varieties, and where shifts were sometimes as long as the game itself! This first-ever veteran inductee began his career in Saint John, and then moved on to play in Trois-Rivières, Shawinigan, Boston, Charlottetown, Saint John, Amherst, Bathurst, Moncton and Halifax.He played on four Maritime championship senior teams; on three of these he was a player-coach. This perennial all-star was signed by the New York Rangers but a serious knee injury ended his dream of playing in the NHL. Fans flocked to the arenas to watch him play, knowing that he was one of those who, as they say in the ranks, always gave 110%! Enrolled in the New Brunswick Sports Hall of Fame, June 5th, 2004.
