Floyd CURRY,
Athlete And
Hockey
Coach (1925-2006)
Famous for frustrating the opposition when Rocket Richard was
off the ice, the right winger won four Stanley Cups
By Mike WYMAN,
Special▼ to The Globe and Mail, Page S7
Montreal -- Like many kids before him, Floyd
CURRY's best shot
at avoiding a lifetime working in the mines, wrestling minerals
from the Canadian Shield, lay on the ice. At 16, he skated away
from the family home in Kirkland Lake to join the Ontario Hockey
Association's powerhouse Oshawa Generals.
A team with deep pockets thanks to the corporate largesse of
the town's main employer, General Motors, which also provided
employment for the many players who chose not to finish high
school, the Generals had finished ahead of the pack every year
from 1937-38 through 1943-44. The year that Mr.
CURRY was first
on the roster, the Generals made it to the Memorial Cup finals
but lost to the Portage La Prairie Terriers. In 1942-43, Mr.
CURRY
doubled his scoring output to 22 goals as Oshawa, once again
representing the hopes of Eastern Canada, lost to the Winnipeg
Rangers.
While in Oshawa, Mr.
CURRY was billeted in the home of the
BATTEN
family, whose son, Don, was also a General. A quiet, personable
sort who was far more easygoing off the ice than on it, Mr.
CURRY
wasn't one to break training. "He and I got along just fine."
Mr. BATTEN recalled. "We took a beer once in a while. We played
a lot of pool, much to the chagrin of our trainer, who didn't
want us standing all day before a game."
Entering the Canadian navy after finally winning the Memorial
Cup in 1944, Mr.
CURRY was stationed in Toronto where he contrived
to suit up for teams in both military and industrial leagues.
In the fall of 1945, newly married, he signed with the Canadiens
organization, beginning his 55-year association with the club
as a member of the Quebec Senior Hockey League's Montreal Royals.
Mr. CURRY scored 23 goals in his first professional season and
22 in the next. He was ready for bigger things.
Playing their home games at the Montreal Forum on Sunday afternoons,
the Royals exciting brand of hockey attracted as many, or more,
spectators as did the building's marquee tenant. With a line-up
featuring such can't-miss prospects as Gerry McNeil in nets,
defenceman Doug Harvey and a sprinkling of future Canadien forwards,
the Royals won the Allan Cup, Canada's Senior hockey championship
trophy in 1947.
Cracking the Canadiens line-up was one thing, but sticking with
the team was quite another. Playing 81 regular season games and
seven more playoff matches with the big club between 1947 and
1950, Mr. CURRY spent the remainder of his time in Buffalo, playing
for the American Hockey League Bisons as he waited for one of
less than 100 National Hockey League jobs to open up. Held back
by numbers, not by a lack of talent, he continued to show an
impressive scoring touch.
The fall of 1950 saw the 25-year-old, by then nicknamed "Busher,"
make the team out of training camp. He would be a fixture for
the next eight seasons, playing an essential but unsung role
as the team made it to the finals every spring.
On Dick Irvin's teams everybody had a distinct role to play.
With scoring from the right side taken care of by Maurice Richard,
Mr. CURRY was not on the ice for his offensive skills. His assignment
was to stop the opposition from scoring while the Rocket took
a breather or served one of his many penalties.
"He wasn't confused about what his role was," said Dick Duff,
who faced off against Mr.
CURRY while wearing Toronto Maple Leaf
colours. "The way teams were set up, they had three lines and
two extra guys. The extra guys got a bit of time on the third
line and they were the ones who killed the first half of the
penalties. They were all invaluable, and just to make the team
was a big deal. They worked twice as hard as anybody else to
stay there."
Countering the top left wingers around the league, Mr.
CURRY
was almost invisible and only drew attention to his efforts when
a mistake resulted in a red light flashing behind his goaltender.
In an era when referees were more likely to overlook fouls than
they are today, he played a tough but clean brand of hockey and
rarely resorted to the illegal tactics preferred by some of his
more underhanded contemporaries.
"Busher was always highly thought of by the Montreal guys," said
Mr. Duff. "There are always guys on teams that fit in good with
everybody. They're good players and they don't bother anybody."
With
Mr.
Richard missing 22 games to injury in 1951-52, Mr.
CURRY
stepped up and netted 20 goals for the only time in his National
Hockey League career. While other, more celebrated teammates
often enjoyed multiple goal evenings, Mr.
CURRY recorded just
one hat trick in his 692 games with the Habs, but he picked the
right game for it.
On October 29, 1951, then-Princess Elizabeth and the Duke of
Edinburgh, later to become Prince Philip, watched the Canadians
defeat the New York Rangers at the Forum. The score was a decisive
6-1, with Mr.
CURRY lighting the lamp three times.
Back in the long shadows cast by his more flamboyant teammates,
Mr. CURRY returned to his familiar role of shutting down the
opposition with skill and effectiveness. In 1953, the Canadiens
won the Stanley Cup, making him one of the few players to have
collected all three major North American hockey championships.
It was the first stirrings of something unprecedented in hockey
history. For the next two seasons, the Canadiens narrowly lost
the cup to the arch-rival Detroit Red Wings and then, with coach
Toe Blake having taken over from Mr. Irvin, the Habs capitalized
on their momentum and racked up a run of five consecutive championships.
Mr. CURRY played on the first three winning teams in 1956, 1957 and
1958 before the wear and tear of high-level hockey took their
toll and he left the National Hockey League. He played a final
season with the Royals before hanging up his skates.
Leaving the ice didn't mean leaving the game. Mr.
CURRY continued
with the Montreal organization for more than 40 years. In the
days when a handful of men ran entire hockey organizations, managers
and coaches often wore more than one hat. Mr.
CURRY coached farm
clubs in Quebec, Cleveland and Halifax. He also worked in the
Canadiens' sales and marketing office and spent several years
as the club's travelling secretary, enjoying every minute of
his time on the job.
"He made sure there were no problems on the road," said Mr. Duff,
who joined the Canadiens in 1964. "We'd get off the train or
the plane and he'd take care of everything. He'd hand out the
hotel keys, tell us who we were rooming with and distribute the
meal money. It was something he enjoyed because it kept him close
to the team."
Mr. CURRY kept an eye older Habs, too. After Alzheimer's disease
robbed Mr. Blake of his autonomy, he faithfully and regularly
paid visits. He took Mr. Blake to lunch when his old coach was
still able to go out and, as the disease progressed to its final,
inevitable conclusion, spent long hours at his side. Mr. Blake
died in 1995 and a few years later Mr.
CURRY, too, was diagnosed
with the same disease. He was placed in a specialized treatment
centre where he spent his last years.
Floyd CURRY was born in Chapleau, Ontario, on August 11, 1925.
He died at Maimonides Geriatric Centre in Montreal on September 16,
2006. He is survived by June, his wife of 61 years, daughters
Dawn and Candace, four grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.

André VIGER,
Athlete: (1952-2006)
A fiercely determined competitor who many times took first place
in the Boston Marathon retired only after winning a gruelling
600-kilometre event in Alaska
By Mike WYMAN,
Special▲ to The Globe and Mail; with a file from
Associated Press, Page S9
Montreal -- On June 3, 1973, at an age when most youngsters think
they're still bulletproof, André
VIGER had his outlook abruptly
reversed when the car in which he was riding missed a curve and
left the road.
At first, the 20-year-old Quebec steel-mill worker thought he
had just broken both legs. That paled to insignificance when
he was told that the damage to his spinal cord was permanent:
He would never again be able to use his lower limbs. It was a
diagnosis he initially refused to accept. Learning that a small
percentage of people who suffered the same injury had managed
to use crutches and leg braces instead of a wheelchair, Mr.
VIGER
resolved to be among the fortunate few.
As weeks stretched into months, Mr.
VIGER learned to walk for
the second time in his life. He worked relentlessly, slowly mastering
the use of his orthopedic aids and, when he finally left for
home, he departed on foot.
Life at home proved to be a series of challenges for which rehab
hadn't prepared him. He lost his balance and fell a number of
times. Reluctantly, he began to use a wheelchair. But he was
determined to adapt to society rather than retreat from it.
A friend convinced him that paraplegia did not prevent him from
playing sports. He tried swimming, the shot put, the discus and
weightlifting before settling on wheelchair racing, a sport that
promised lots of competition.
Establishing himself at the University of Sherbrooke, Mr.
VIGER
trained with the intensity and dedication that would be a trademark
of all his endeavours. When winter put an end to his outdoor
training, he rolled endless laps in tunnels that he discovered
under the campus rather than mount his wheelchair on stationary
rollers.
In 1979, he felt ready to compete and won a local event. Two
years later, he entered the Montreal Marathon and finished third
in his category. Mr.
VIGER maintained his steady climb until
1984, when he went to the Olympics.
As it happened, the Los Angeles Games that year featured a number
of demonstration sports, including the first 1,500-metre wheelchair
event. Mr.
VIGER finished third, becoming a celebrity at home
and a standard-bearer for disabled athletes.
He then scored four consecutive victories. First, he won the
Oita Marathon in Japan and then the 1984 Boston Marathon. He
won at Boston again in 1986, setting a new record for the event,
and rolled to victory the following despite being involved in
a crash at the start.
At home, he was flooded with requests for public appearances.
Accepting as many as possible, he spoke to everyone from children
to heads of corporations. He presented a simple message, that
disabled people could play a role in society.
Along the way, Mr.
VIGER had trained as a jeweller, and he decided
to open his own business. La Bijouterie André
VIGER grew to half
a dozen outlets, financed his athletic career and employed more
than 30 people.
"He couldn't sit still," said Canadian Paralympic coach Jean
Laroche. "There was no way he could just sit home and watch television.
When he finished one thing, he had to start another. He'd leave
the store, come train and go right back afterward."
Mr. VIGER continued to accumulate victories and overcome challenges.
He won the Montreal Marathon a total of five times and took part
in the Seoul, Barcelona and Atlanta Paralympics, bringing home
two gold medals, a pair of silvers and a bronze.
In 1993, a year after winning the 10,000-metre wheelchair race
in Barcelona, Mr.
VIGER decided he was ready for much bigger
things and entered the 600-kilometre Midnight Sun Wheelchair
Marathon in Alaska.
It was his greatest challenge. The Fairbanks-to-Anchorage race
which organizers say is the longest event of its kind in the
world -- attracted 13 very serious athletes from as far away
as New Zealand. They rode three-wheeled, all-aluminum aerodynamic
race chairs, a far cry from the conventional wheelchairs used
by the two co-founders (and only entrants) of the race 10 years
before.
At that time, strength and concentration were about the only
things to keep them from wobbling off the highway. In contrast,
Mr. VIGER and the others completed the event in a hunched position
with their legs tucked underneath or secured in front. At night,
competitors and their support teams camped in a fleet of borrowed
motor homes.
The gruelling course is never the same from one day to the next.
In 1993, the first day was a 35-kilometre grind that climbed
into the Alaska Range foothills, followed by 100 kilometres of
headwinds. Another day is spent racing across flatlands that
offered no chance of coasting, and the last stretch was an 18-kilometre
downward sprint.
"It was downhill and very fast," said Mr.
VIGER. "
Today was like
the cherry on the cake."
The cake proved to be first place and a prize of $5,000 (U.S.)
for finishing with an elapsed time of 23 hours 50 minutes. He
also bettered a course record set two years earlier by Canadian
Ron Scanlon, a martial arts expert who moved to Los Angeles to
teach kung fu from a wheelchair.
"It was an ultra-marathon with competitors covering from 20 to
75 kilometres every day for nine days over a very tough course
with a lot of steep hills," said Mr. Laroche, who first began
working with Mr.
VIGER in 1981. "He was very happy with that
win because it was an exceptional event."
Mr. VIGER never admitted defeat, said Mr. Laroche. "When he'd
lose a competition, he put it behind him and concentrate his
efforts on winning the next event. That's something I learned
from him. He and the other athletes I coach are athletes first
and foremost. We treat them like athletes and they respond as
athletes."
In 1996, Mr.
VIGER retired to concentrate on a new business venture,
La Maison André
VIGER, that supplied wheelchairs and other adapted
equipment for the physically disabled. He still found time to
make personal appearances.
Over the years, many honours came his way. In 1985, he was voted
Quebec's athlete of the year, the same year that Jaycees International
listed him among the seven outstanding young persons of the world.
In 1987, he was appointed to the Order of Quebec and, two years
later, he received the Order of Canada. In 2003, he was awarded
an honorary doctorate by the University of Ottawa. In November,
he was inducted into the Paralympic Hall of Fame.
While his athletic achievements are in the record books, and
others have followed the path he paved, most notably Rick Hansen
and Chantal Petitclerc, Mr.
VIGER's greatest legacy may be that
society has come around to his way of thinking.
"He was aware of his limitations, but they didn't stop him from
doing what he wanted to do," said Mr. Laroche. "He didn't define
himself in terms of his handicap. He proved that life doesn't
stop just because someone is confined to a wheelchair."
André VIGER was born in Windsor, Ontario, on September 27, 1952.
He died of cancer at St-Luc Hospital in Montreal on October 1,
2006. He was 54.
