Kaidy Mae Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 My grandfather used to be a pro speed skater and played hockey for Detroit back when "you had to buy your own jersey". He was also Irish and drank a lot, so he may have been making it up. Just kidding. My Mom has his medals in the bar. Jack ruled! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosmic ChrisC Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 Guillaume Couture, an ancestor of mine, is the first Couture to set foot in Canada, a long long time ago. I guess that makes him kinda famous. OK maybe not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richbass Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 My cousin just married an NHLer this past summer, and low and behold I saw him get an assist. Mike Weaver form the Los Angeles Kings. Guess that makes him my cousin in law??? Hope I get some tickets for the game if they come to Toronto.

Dancin man Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 Rick Wamsley is my cousin. RICK WAMSLEY, Goaltending Coach, Pro Scout Rick Wamsley joined the Blue Jackets as a goaltending coach and pro scout in 1999 after spending six seasons as a member of the Toronto Maple Leafs organization. With the Leafs, he served as a pro and amateur scout in 1998-99 and was an assistant coach under Pat Burns from 1996-98. He joined the organization as a goaltending consultant immediately following a 12-year playing career that ended during the 1992-93 season. During his time in Toronto, he worked with then-Maple Leafs goaltender Felix Potvin. During Wamsley’s tenure with the club, Potvin earned NHL All-Rookie honors in 1993 and appeared in a pair of All-Star Games in 1994 and 1996. During his playing career, Wamsley posted a 204-131-46 record and a 3.34 goals-against average with the Montreal Canadiens, St. Louis Blues, Calgary Flames and Toronto Maple Leafs. The Canadiens’ fifth pick, 58th overall, in the 1979 Entry Draft, he made his Montreal debut in 1980-81. He became a full-time NHLer the following season and made it a year to remember as he posted a 23-7-7 record with a 2.75 goals-against average with the Canadiens. That year he shared the William M. Jennings Trophy with teammate Denis Herron as the duo allowed the fewest goals against in the NHL. He spent three-plus seasons with Montreal before being traded to the Blues in 1984. His nearly four seasons in St. Louis produced 75 wins, including 23 in 1984-85 (23-12-5, 3.26 goals-against average) and 22 in 1985-86 (22-16-3, 3.43 goals-against average). In March 1988, he was traded to Calgary in a deal that sent Brett Hull to the Blues. The highlight of his stint in Calgary came in 1988-89 when he helped the Flames capture the lone Stanley Cup championship in club history. Wamsley was born on May 25, 1959 in Simcoe, Ontario. He and his wife, Lori, are the parents of three daughters, Kelly, Colleen, and Megan. The family reside s in Oakville, Ontario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StoneMtn Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 In the 1930s, I had a relative (great-great-great-uncle?) who was executed for murder. Unless I'm misinformed, he's famous for being the only Jewish person ever executed in Canada. :thumbup: :thumbup: (He was also innocent. His son did it.)
