If someone in Vernon still has these things, they would have to give them to ... gasp... Penticton? Wouldn't it be better if there was a display in those cabinets in the Multiplex right here in Vernon?
ReplyDeleteI have a Vernon Canadians program from the 1956 Allen Cup vs the Chatham Maroons.
ReplyDelete@vdhf
ReplyDeleteAny recognizable names in that program? Also... where is Chatham? Ontario?
I will have to dig out the program and look. Yes Chatham, Ontario
ReplyDelete@Diehard
ReplyDeleteWhere did you aquire this program?
Do you collect other memorabilia as well?
If you Google Vernon canadians hockey team 1956 roster,it will give you list of names. Odie Lowe far a start who had a sensational year.
ReplyDeleteIf you read the article, it lists about twelve or thirteen players from the team.

ReplyDeleteI worked with an older fellow who found the program while cleaning out his parents house after they passed away. He knew I had season tickets to the Vipers and was a big fan and asked if I wanted it. He figures his parents probably took him to that game and would have gone to games as a kid.
I have collected hockey memorabilia since I was a young kid.
I use to keep and collect my ticket stubs from Vernon junior hockey games when I was a young kid. As I got older I continued keeping & collecting my ticket stubs. I have every ticket stub from every Vernon junior hockey game, home or away from every game since 1987. I have programs going back to 1987 but have every program from every game I have gone to since 1988.
