Tuesday, February 24, 2015. The Vancouver PNE Forum. 1931, shortly after opening. 1961/62 Vancouver Canucks Program Header. Originally with a capacity of 5,050 the Forum became home to the Vancouver Canucks of the Pacific Coast Hockey League in 1945. By 1952, the loop was known as simply the Western Hockey League and the Forum would remain the Canucks home until 1967. This was the year the Pacific Coliseum opened right next door, providing a far larger home for the hockey club. 2015, view from South-West.

http://nitzyshockeyden.blogspot.com/2015/07/quebec-nordiques-vs-birmingham-bulls.html
Monday, July 6, 2015. Quebec Nordiques vs Birmingham Bulls, 1977. Matti Hagman, Dale Hoganson, Wayne Wood. Here's some more fantastic old photos from the files of photo-journalist Doug Petepiece.

I was able to identify most of the players. This scenario presents a bit of a problem though. If this is a pre-season game in September of 1977, Hagman...

While with the Leafs he was usually lined up alongside the likes of team leading scorer Lorne Carr and Mel Hill, which helped in his production. Links to this post. Friday, July 18, 2014.

No info was given other than what is obvious to the viewer, Gordie Howe and his Houston Aeros are playing the Edmonton Oilers in WHA action. Most good vinatge hockey fans will know that #3 and captain of the Oilers is Al Hamilton, but what year was this photo from?
