Helen Edwards will talk about the history of professional hockey in Victoria, focussing on the stories of the players who entertained us over a century. It includes details on the different leagues, statistics on every game played by a Victoria team, and information on every player to dress for at least one regular season game. Learn from behind-the-scenes stories told by the players themselves.
Helen Edwards was born in Victoria and saw her first hockey game at age 5. She has been hooked on the sport ever since. She held season tickets for the Victoria Maple Leafs and Victoria Salmon Kings so has first-hand knowledge of the game and its players.
