I am preparing a “coffee table book” on ladies’ hockey history in Quebec. A fascinating story! Since the 1890s, women have been playing, among other places, in Montreal, Sherbrooke, Quebec City, Three-Rivers and Lachute. And Anglo-Quebecers have been the real pioneers of the game in the province.
So, if you have stories to share or old pictures (1890-1940) of Quebec women’s teams or action shots of women playing hockey, I’d be very grateful if you could contact me.
Thank you for providing such a comprehensive (and quite fascinating!) web site of materials on Anglophones in Quebec! Your collection of Web-based journals, oral histories, and many other materials have been a tremendous help to me as I continue to learn about English-speaking groups in Quebec.
I care for a 93 year old lady who know lives in Brockville. She lived in Griffintown. She often sings a song. It goes like this: "Griffintown, Griffintown how I long for you."
She can't remember the rest. Do you know if this song exists?
I saw your site and I just had to contact you, as I am myself, capturing
historical stories from here in Montreal, including chronicling the Verdun
Guardian war memories to Digital clips... their local experiences... their
thoughts...before they are all gone...and we can no longer capture their
stories... our stories... forever... what a loss that would be!
