So, today I was up at the care home, doin some carol singing with some of our people. And I met one Dave Balon, National Hockey league player for a chunk of years through the 60's.
He won Lord Stanley's Cup in 1965 and 1966 with the Montreal Canadians.
Here is his record and a bit of history, and here is an old picture of him.
He's changed a lot.
He is known as " Digger Dave " Balon. What a terrific man! " Digger's " restaurant was originally a sports bar and restaurant with hockey memorabilia on the walls. Very impressive. He was, and still is, a class act and a kind, gentle man.
