I guess the talk of a permanent Ahl player like Bonvie got me to thinking about it. Because I was at a Chiefs game once and remember seeing numbers retired up in the rafters. If the player was that good why wasn't he playing with the big club? I thought maybe there were cases like Michel Briere where the player was supposed to be pretty good but unexpectedly died young or maybe the player turned out to be good and the team wanted to show that he used to play there.
One was Galen Head, a very good person and player. He helped establish the Bishop McCourt Hockey team. Another was Dick Roberge # 11, another solid player in Johnstown. Don Hall # 9 was the third. I remember Roberge and Head playing. I don't remember Hall, as I wasn't born yet.Daniel87 wrote:I know this is completely off topic but why is it that some minor league clubs have players numbers retired?
