West St. Catharines Lifestyle

For those of you that have seen old footage of NHL games in the 70's, yes, some teams wore team coloured skates made by @CCMHockey and by @BauerHockey (my very first pair of skates were made by @BauerHockey in the green, white & blue colours of the Canucks)

@CityNewsTO This is not a picture of that.

Oct. 23, 1977. Extremely rare TV footage from the old #Cleveland Coliseum in Richfield, Ohio - home of the #NHL #Barons in 1976-77 and 1977-78. Here, from Channel 50 in #Pittsburgh, is poor quality sound and announcing, as the #Penguins are referred to as “we” and “us”. Attendance was 5,910 and the visitors prevailed, 3-2. #NHL #Leafs

Frank Mahovlich turned 88 this week. He’s among a handful of players still with us from #Toronto’s last #StanleyCup team. Here, the Big M scored against St. Louis in the #Blues first-ever visit to Maple Leaf Gardens, Dec. 30, 1967. I was at the game with my father. Bill Hewitt and Brian McFarlane called the goal. Mahovlich would be traded to #Detroit just more than two months later. Leafs throttled Scotty Bowman’s team, 8-1. #LeafsForever #CBC

@pre2000hockey Remember white skates on the Seals but not blue on the Penguins!

Coming in at #3 in our top 10 Blue Jays playoff moments in franchise history. Roberto Alomar with a two run homerun off Dennis Eckersly to tie the game in the 1992 ALCS! 🎥 MLB
