Medalists At The 1936 Winter Olympics
A medal or medallion is a small portable artistic object, a thin disc, normally of metal, carrying a design, usually on both sides. They typically have a commemorative purpose of some kind, and many are presented as awards. They may be intended to be worn, suspended from clothing or jewellery in some way, although this has not always been the case. They may be struck like a coin by dies or die-cast in a mould. A medal may be awarded to a person or organisation as a form of recognition for sporting, military, scientific, cultural, academic, or various other achievements. Military awards and decorations are more precise terms for certain types of state decoration. Medals may also be created for sale to commemorate particular individuals or events, or as works of artistic expression in their own right.

Canadian Ice Hockey Goaltenders
Canadians (french: Canadiens) are people identified with the country of Canada. This connection may be residential, legal, historical or cultural. For most Canadians, many (or all) of these connections exist and are collectively the source of their being ''Canadian''. Canada is a multilingual and multicultural society home to people of groups of many different ethnic, religious, and national origins, with the majority of the population made up of Old World immigrants and their descendants. Following the initial period of French and then the much larger British colonization, different waves (or peaks) of immigration and settlement of non-indigenous peoples took place over the course of nearly two centuries and continue today. Elements of Indigenous, French, British, and more recent immigrant customs, languages, and religions have combined to form the culture of Canada, and thus a Canadian identity. Canada has also been strongly influenced by its linguistic, geographic, and ec ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The Alberta-British Columbia Senior League is a defunct senior men's ice hockey league that operated for the 1941–42 season. History The West Kootenay League was a senior level hockey league that operated from 1922 to 1923 through 1940–41; and the Alberta Senior Hockey League was a senior level league that operated between 1936 and 1941. Both leagues suspended their operations after the 1940–41 season due to World War II.

Due to the pressures of the war, the league lasted just one season. The West Kootenay League was resurrected for the 1945–46 season, and in 1946-47 the league expanded into the United States to become the Western International Hockey League. 1941-42 season Standings Coaches * Marty Burke (Calgary Stampeders) * Riley "Moon" Mullen (Lethbridge Maple Leafs) * Ken Campbell (Kimberley Dynamiters) ...
