A true night to remember in Renfrew hockey history Peter Clark
peter.clark@metroland.com
There was no shortage of hockey history at the Renfrew Birthplace NHA-NHL Museum dinner held at the RCAF Wing Aug. 20.
Five National Hockey League trophies – including the Bill Masterton for perseverance; Jack Adams for coach of the year; the general manager of the year trophy; the Lady Byng Memorial Trophy for most sportsmanlike and gentlemanly player; and
the Frank Selke for top defensive forward – were all on display for all to see. Also drawing plenty of attention was a sixth piece of impressive hardware, the O’Brien Cup, donated by Renfrew Millionaires owners M.J. and son Ambrose O’Brien.
Craig Campbell and Mario DellaSavia of the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto, custodians to these and many other hockey trophies, including the Stanley Cup, spoke of their history as well as the significance of the role M.J. and Ambrose O’Brien
played in hockey history. Historian and emcee Frank Cosentino noted the number of players who played for Renfrew’s first Creamery Kings (Millionaires) team of 190910 who are in the Hall of Fame. See IMPRESSIVE page 25
