Left : After
the 1955 baseball season, Earl Ingarfield, Granum 3B, and Les
Colwill, 2B Lethbridge,
would move into pro hockey with the Saskatoon
Quakers. By the 1958-59 season, both would be
playing in the NHL
with the New York Rangers. Ingarfield would suit up for 14 seasons in the
NHL. (Lethbridge Herald, 1955)
Right : For many, baseball was a sideline to their
real sports careers -- on ice. At the 1955 Lacombe
tournament, there was no scarity of blade stars. Max (left) and
Doug Bentley (right) brought in their
Delisle ball club which also featured Bev Bentley and Reg Bentley. Among
others, Edmonton had Norm
Ullman and Ray Kinasewich and Granum brought in Ingarfield, Gord
Vejprava and Harold Jones.
