With a wrist shot 'like a bullet,' she played hockey for 73 years
There's longevity in sport and then there was the veteran from
Bala, Ontario, who competed for most of the 116 years that Canadian
women have been playing organized hockey
By Ron CSILLAG,
Special to The Globe and Mail, Page S11
It was on a frigid windswept lake in central Ontario's Muskoka
region where Mickey
WALKER's parents strapped a pair of bobskates
to her tiny feet when she was three years old. As she grew, the
girl played shinny with her father and four big brothers. She
learned to stickhandle quickly. "If I didn't," she would recall,
"I never would have had the puck."
At 12, Ms.
WALKER joined her first hockey team with her brother's
hand-me-down skates, an old stick (a new one cost 25 cents),
and magazines wrapped around her shins for protection. She was
73 when the Ontario Women's Hockey Association recognized her
as the oldest woman in Canada still playing, and 85 when she
finally stopped skating in regular Monday night scrimmages at
the arena in her native Bala, Ontario
She twice contested the Canadian women's championship in the
1930s, and pioneered the growth and development of hockey for
girls and women. "She was so dedicated to women's hockey," remarked
her friend of 25 years, Hazel
McCALLION, the irrepressible mayor
of Mississauga who's leading an effort to preserve Ms.
WALKER's
small mountain of hockey memorabilia. "She always encouraged
young girls to get involved."
Ms. WALKER so loved the clean way women played that she spoke
out against the violence in today's professional game every chance
she could. "These young women play the game the way it should
be played - without violence," she told The Muskokan newspaper
in 1994. "I hate the violence of the National Hockey League!
[Commentator] Don Cherry and the National Hockey League players
who promote and play violent hockey should pay attention to those
women.
"Great hockey players over the years, whether men or women, have
never been violent. Only the goons who can't play the game and
are out to injure the great players are violent. They should
be barred from the game."
Little got her dander up like Mr. Cherry. "All he does is promote
violence in the hockey telecasts and he makes videos out of them
and sells them," she huffed in the Muskoka Sun in 1993. (Attempts
to reach Mr. Cherry for comment were unsuccessful.)
Her disdain for violence and concern for women and children extended
beyond hockey. Over several summers in Bala, she was known for
sporting a sweatshirt emblazoned with the words: "My name is
Mickey WALKER and I abhor mental, physical and sexual abuse against
women and children. It has to be stopped!" She was also a fierce
supporter of the death penalty.
She came into the world as Mary
WALKER, the youngest of eight
children born to Ada Berry
WALKER and Captain John
WALKER, who
worked on Imperial Oil supply boats on the Great Lakes. The clan's
Muskoka roots went back to the 1860s (Walker's Point bears the
family name). The "Mickey" moniker stuck after young Mary endlessly
sang a popular song she learned from the radio: "Mickey, pretty
Mickey."
Her athletic skills came naturally. "We were a sports-oriented
family," she recalled. "My mother was a beautiful skater and
was still skating at 65. My father was a good hockey player well
past the age of 50. So, hockey and sports just came naturally
to me."
She also excelled at baseball and curling, and canoed well into
her 80s.
Ms. WALKER began playing for the Bala girls' team in 1930. Practices
were Friday at 4 p.m., and young Mickey so looked forward to
them that she devised a way to get out of school early to get
to the arena before anyone: She'd begin talking to someone in
class until the teacher would holler, "Mary
WALKER - out!"
That worked until the principal saw her scurrying along with
her skates and stick before school was over. The next time the
teacher spied his talkative pupil, she was kept for a half-hour
after class.
"Well, that cured me," Ms.
WALKER recalled in the 1995 history
of women's hockey in Canada, Proud Past, Bright Future, by Brian
McFarlane. "I never tried my little trick to get to the arena
early ever again."
In 1934, Ms.
WALKER's cousin returned to Bala after a stint in
the semi-pro leagues in the United States, and joined the men's
team in Bracebridge, Ontario, about 50 kilometres away. When
he heard that the women's squad in nearby Bracebridge needed
players, he told them about Ms.
WALKER, who soon got an offer,
accompanied by room and board.
When a teammate noticed that the toe of one of Ms.
WALKER's skates
was worn through, with her sock sticking out, she marched Mickey
to her father's hardware store, where Ms.
WALKER was handed a
pair of $5 CCMs. They were the first new skates she'd ever
owned.
She soon developed into her playing height and weight - 5 feet
8 inches, 130 pounds - and in her first year with Bracebridge,
played for the national championship against the legendary Preston
Rivulettes. The old Bracebridge arena was packed to the rafters.
Ms. WALKER and her teammates had never played before such a large
crowd and were so nervous, "it took us most of the first period
to settle down," she told the Ice Times newspaper in 1991. The
fearsome Preston girls, who reigned as champs for 10 years, were
used to crowds and won the game 3-1 to retain their title.
Ms. WALKER and a group of Bala girls joined the team in Gravenhurst,
about 15 kilometres down the road, for the following season,
and again faced the Rivulettes for the national crown. The 1935
outdoor game was a disaster. For one thing, rain had dumped more
than two centimetres of water onto the ice surface. "Have you
ever tried to stickhandle on water?" Ms.
WALKER later pondered.
"The puck won't go anywhere."
For another, the champs had singled out Ms.
WALKER as the only
real threat on the opposing team. They identified her as the
one whose wavy hair curled with perspiration (this was before
helmets). Cries of "Get Curly!" could be heard from fans and
the Preston bench.
Soon, the Rivulettes' big Marm Schmuck came barrelling down a
wing straight at Ms.
WALKER. "
Step into her, Mickey! Step into
her!" yelled her brother, Reg, from the stands. She complied,
and both went down, but not before the Preston player's stick
smashed Ms.
WALKER across the nose and left her with two black
eyes. "It wasn't an accident," she said, years later. A scar
across the bridge of her nose was a lifelong souvenir.
As if that wasn't bad enough, an irate fan tried to swat Ms.
WALKER
with an umbrella every time she skated by. This time, her team
lost 9-1, and the wild hit cemented her distaste for violence
in hockey.
The Bracebridge and Gravenhurst teams folded and it was back
to Bala until the Second World War broke out. At age 22, Ms.
WALKER
moved to Toronto to work at a small-arms plant that made Lee-Enfield
rifles. Among 7,000 employees, she was soon picked among only
a half dozen women to work in the "tool room," where she operated
her own machine and earned the resentment of the men. "Girls
in the tool room," she later mused. "Unheard of."
Two-and-a-half years later, she married a plant engineer and
moved to Mississauga, where she played pickup games on the lake
and in backyard rinks. Her daughter, Launi
BANNISTER, a onetime
figure skater, laughs heartily when asked whether she ever joined
in. "Oh God, no! I didn't know what to do with a hockey stick!"
Her mother was always chosen first and always shamed the guys
with nimble skating and stick handling, and a deadly wrist shot
that was "like a bullet."
But the story gets a little murky here. All her family will divulge
is that Ms.
WALKER endured back-to-back abusive marriages, both
ending in divorce. She returned to Bala, alone, at 64.
She dived back into hockey, coaching a girls' team and captaining
the Young Tymers, a squad of women over 35. She also started
the Ice Girls, who met every Monday night at the arena for informal
games. "There were no hockey programs for women or girls," she
said about Bala. "So I started one. I'm trying to teach them
that hockey is fun."
That's a lesson Ann
KNIGHT learned. "She taught us how to stickhandle,
how to steal the puck and how to love the game," said Ms.
KNIGHT,
who played alongside Ms.
WALKER for a dozen years.
When Ms. WALKER turned 75, former Toronto Maple Leaf great Darryl
Sittler was among dozens of people who sent her birthday greetings.
She carried fan mail in her purse from Japan, Australia and the
Netherlands.
In gratitude to her boosterism, the Ontario Women's Hockey Association
in 1993 inaugurated the Mickey Walker Most Sportsmanlike Award.
Ms. WALKER watched the Ontario Women's Hockey Association's ranks
swell from a few thousand in 1975, the year it was founded, to
about 40,000 players on 2,300 teams today, according to Fran
RIDER, the association's executive director.
She loved the fact that women's hockey caught on globally, especially
in 1990, the year of the first Women's World Championship, and
1998, when it was first played as an Olympic event. "You don't
know how happy I am to see how far women's hockey has progressed,"
she enthused. "We've got just great players. They can do it all."
At the 1997 world championships in Kitchener, Ontario, she was
interviewed by CBS television. The clip caught the eye of
the late Charles Schultz, the creator of the Peanuts comic strip
and an avid hockey fan who had staged the Snoopy Senior Annual
World
Hockey
Tournament in California every year. He sent Ms.
WALKER
an invitation to play on his team (the 75- to 80-year-olds) but
she was battling the flu and couldn't go.
But she was well enough to show up at the 2000 world championship
in Mississauga decked out in full hockey paraphernalia, and with
her face painted red and white.
Incredibly, Ms.
WALKER chain-smoked, starting at 25, and quitting
only two years ago after a bout of pneumonia.
She died four days before her namesake trophy was awarded to
four-time world champion and two-time Olympic gold medalist Jennifer
Botterill, who helped power the Mississauga Chiefs to the 2008
Esso women's national club championship in Charlottetown this
month.
Mickey WALKER was born Mary Pearl
WALKER in Bala, Ontario, on
January 18, 1918. She died there on March 11, 2008 of natural
causes. She was 90. She is survived by her daughter, Launi
BANNISTER,
son Stephen
KNIPFEL and grand_son Joseph.
