Sharing with you things that are on my mind...Maybe yours too. Come back to Wrights Lane for a visit anytime! And, by all means, let's hear from you by leaving a comment at the end of any post. THE MOTIVATION: I firmly believe that if I have felt, experienced or questioned something in life, then surely others must have too. That's what this blog is all about -- hopefully relating in some meaningful way -- sharing, if you will, on subjects of an inspirational and human interest nature. Nostalgia will frequently find its way into some of the items...And lots of food for thought. A work in progress, to be sure.

NEW SITE: CLAUDE KEWLEY AND SONS WERE RECRUITERS OF HOCKEY TALENT


NOTE:  Considerable change and adjustment has been made to the text and layout of the "THE KEWLEY STORY" since it was first published.  I am dictated by the unravelling of my memory and the impulse to make the reflective piece a little more personal.  If you checked out the new site a day or two ago, you might want to give it another read -- if interested.
 
In keeping with my goal of writing about interesting people and events, I introduce with this post a new site which tells the story of a little-known era of international ice hockey.  The role that Globe and Mail sports writer Claude Kewley and his four sons played in recruiting Canadian talent for the Scottish Hockey League, 1945-55, has been a well-kept secret.  Claude's eldest son, Keith, ultimately became a legendary coach in Scotland and was recently named to the British Ice Hockey Hall of Fame.  Keith (seen in accompanying photo, circa 1955), a brilliant hockey strategist, would later return to Canada where he established an impressive record as coach of successful Senior and Junior teams in St. Thomas.
