Sorry to leave y’all hanging, had to get the toddler ready for bed. I’m thrilled to report that @ahadwingolf is still among the land of the living and in true Canadian form, apologized to the security guard for being tackled.
During the 1987-88 season, the Cornwall Royals retired Dale Hawerchuk’s number 10, in front of a sold out Civic Complex. The banner would eventually be moved to the lobby of the Benson Centre, where it would hang until last month, when it returned to the rafters of the Complex.
First game in this place about 43 years ago to see Dale Hawerchuk. Back tonight to see his number go back up to the rafters for the second time. Welcome home Ducky. @HawerchukStrong
A well deserved tribute is given to Our favorite Cornwall Royals teammate, The late Dave Ezard
Induction into “QMJHL HOF 2023”.
Cornwall (Dave’s Hometown) remains so proud of one of their favorite sons.
Dave was the Best, and his Energy ignited our teams. https://t.co/PF56a90pkf
This is Chris Nikic.
He was born with Down syndrome and wasn't able to walk until he was four years old.
He just became the first athlete with Down syndrome to complete the Ironman World Championship.
Nothing is impossible!
"I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for Dale."
Rasmus Andersson and Andrew Mangiapane stop by the Dale Hawerchuk statue and reflect on memories with him during their time with the Barrie Colts.
