Tim Falconer

It’s here: my first copy of Klondikers

“At sixty-four, she was jailed for manipulating the stock of Windfall Oils and Mines.” Inside the April issue: Virginia Heffernan on “Windfall: Viola MacMillan and Her Notorious Mining Scandal,” written by @timfalconer and published by @ecwpress. reviewcanada.ca/magazine/2025/…

Listen to a new @ChamplainSoc #podcast episode “Windfall: Viola MacMillan and Her Notorious #Mining Scandal” with Tim Falconer at: bit.ly/WTYm925 @ecwpress @timfalconer @cminingmagazine @CdnMHF #prospector #stockscandal

Viola MacMillan broke barriers in mining — then broke the system. In 1964, her scandal rocked Bay Street and reshaped Canadian finance. @timfalconer tells @JeyanTVO the story behind his book "Windfall: Viola MacMillan and Her Notorious Mining Scandal." youtube.com/watch?v=GkiDTr…

@YukonPaullyP @CraigBaird Thanks, Paul. Fourteen goals in one game, actually. But they didn’t track assists back then so he probably had at least 17 points

@CraigBaird Kicked the Klondikers butt too, as @timfalconer describes in his great book on the 1905 Stanley Cup final featuring Dawson City, Yukon. 17 points in a game, I believe.

Today in 1900, Frank McGee is hit in the eye with a puck, losing sight in the eye. Despite this, from 1902-1906, he wins 3 Stanley Cups with the Ottawa Senators, scoring 71 goals in 23 games. He also serves in WW1, dying at the Somme. canadaehx.com/2021/12/21/fra…

"I couldn’t help but think of the time Mike Milbury went into the stands at Madison Square Garden and beat a fan with his own shoe. That would never have happened at Maple Leaf Gardens." Although I'm a pacifist and a Leafs fan, this one still cracks me up every time.

@Ostrov_Ile Love it

117 years ago this evening the Dawson City Klondikers played the second (and final) game of their 1905 Stanley Cup challenge against the Ottawa Hockey Club. The final score was 23-2. “One-Eyed” Frank McGee scored 14 goals #klondikers
