    Some incredibly clever kicks out of dummy half by McInnes put the Tigers on the back foot, and their forwards were forced to constantly work – which consequently caused some fatigue to kick in. Walker was in on the action again when he pounced on a loose ball, flew through a hole and successfully took on the Tim Moltzen to score his second try of the day, which brought the score to 26-8. The final 15 minutes of the game did not see any tries; however there was an outstanding run by Wests Tigers’ centre Nathan Milone - who almost scored after breaking a number of tackles.…

    Tom Gaskell was part of the 1964-65 Bras d’Or Lakers hockey club that is enshrined in the Northside Sports Hall of Fame. I talked with the former defenceman from Little Bras d’Or just prior to Christmas, and he was kind enough to share some of his memories of the team. The custom for many of the Bras d’Or Lakers was to leave Cape Breton and go to work on the “lake boats”(thus the name of the team) after the hockey season had ended in the spring. The vessels carried products such as coal, grain, steel and produce, and they sailed North America’s five Great Lakes: Lakes Ontario, Superior, Erie, Huron and Michigan. “If we were still playing hockey, the guys would wait for a late call-up in April or May, June or July,” recalled Gaskell.…

    McGannon would describe my role in leading. In cheer, the captain is considered the “best one” or “in charge”. The only reason for that is having to be the one that taught everyone else the cheers, and made sure they knew them before we cheered at a game. I thought of it more of as something I could do, rather than something that was impossible to receive. Even in our groups in class, I always end up being the one to show the rest of my group how to do the task.…
