Ralph Bower joined the Vancouver Sunas a copy boy in 1955 before becoming a photographer. He sought a unique angle on the game in the Canucks’ second season in the NHL. After negotiating with the league, the team, and the goalies, Bower rigged a Nikon camera with a wide-angle, 20 mm lens in a metal birdcage inside the goal. To snap the shutter, Bow...
Goaltenders are eccentric. George Gardner stood out even in a fraternity known for oddballs. Born into a blue-collar family in the working-class Montreal suburb of Lachine, Gardner kicked around the low minors and in and out of the NHL. Like Charlie Hodge and Orland Kurtenbach, Gardner was a goalie who wore the sweaters of the old and new Canucks. ...
The first NHL game in Vancouver was played on October 9, 1970. A national audience watched on Hockey Night in Canada, while 15,062 paying customers crowded the Pacific Coliseum. The premier was on hand and the mayor delivered the ceremonial opening face-off. A 73-man pipe band made some noise. Cyclone Taylor, still spry at 87, stepped onto the ice ...
Doug Hepburn was a scrawny child born with crossed eyes and a club foot. He was bullied as a schoolboy. He began weightlifting, learning the sport from articles found in glossy magazines at the corner drugstore. When he won the 1953 world heavyweight weightlifting championship in Sweden, he became known as the World’s Strongest Man. The mayor hired...
Rosaire Paiement was called Cracklin’ Rosie after the Neil Diamond song. From the farming town of Earlton in Ontario’s isolated Timiskaming region, Paiement only had four NHL goals to his credit before emerging as the Canucks’ first superstar. He led the club in its inaugural season with 34 goals. Great things were expected of him the following sea...
A farm boy from Cudworth, Saskatchewan, Orland Kurtenbach was a hockey player from central casting. The square jaw. The rugged good looks. All those consonants in his name as hard as his bodychecks. He was a journeyman player often used to kill penalties when the fledgling Canucks drafted him with their second pick (fourth overall) in the expansion...
Fans loved Harold Snepsts. We chanted his first name in two-tone, singsong fashion. We cheered him for decking opposing players. A big, physical, stay-at-home defenceman, “Hair!-olllld, Hair!-olllld” kept scorers away from the Vancouver net. He was a solid, lunch-bucket guy with a big moustache. Sure, he coughed the puck up in overtime of Game 1 of...
The unheralded, overachieving Canucks, who relied on the stellar goaltending of “King Richard” Brodeur, managed to claw their way into the Stanley Cup finals in 1982. Despite losing the first two games to the Islanders in New York, the Canucks returned home to be greeted by jubilant fans on May 12. Two more losses and a riot were still to come. The...
The Russian Rocket was our favourite Russian export since vodka. Pavel Bure celebrates his 51st goal in the final game of the 1997-’98 season on April 19. The season began with a win on the road (against Anaheim in Tokyo) but was downhill after that. The coach was fired, then the general manager. Popular players Trevor Linden, Martin Gelinas, and K...
For the first home game, the NHL brought the Stanley Cup onto the ice at the Pacific Coliseum. The silver mug had been won by the Vancouver Millionaires back in 1915. (The players’ names are engraved inside the fluted sides of the bowl.) It was hoped the Canucks would bring Lord Stanley’s glorious trophy back to the coast. Fifty years later, we’re ...
