I’m hoping these questions will be easy ones for Deseronto folk to answer. This photograph was received at the Archives this week, but without any supporting information to explain who the hockey team were, or when the picture was taken. The firm sponsoring the team, Sam’s Aluminum, was established in Napanee in 1963, so that gives us the earliest possible date for the photo. It became Sam’s Doors and Windows in 1971 (according to the company’s website), which presumably gives us the latest possible date.
So, over to you, citizens of Deseronto and surrounding areas:
- What is the name of the hockey team?
- What year was the photo taken?
- Do you recognise any of the players or the men in the photo?

No prizes available for correct answers, but any assistance will be gratefully received!

This pic was taken at Napanee arena around 1970. Sam’s was a Peewee or Bantam house league team. Couple of names, Second player from right back row, Stuart Turcliffe, middle of back row, Peter Anderson. Beside goalie in front row with “A” on jersey, David Cole. I played in this league for Canadian Tire team. Hated the Saturday 6:30 a.m. games. Rink was always freezing cold.
