Hockey and Brighton's Economy

There was a lot of good times. I played hockey in Brighton, you know. I used to be a hockey player and I used to play a lot of hockey back in Canada and then had a chance to play there in Brighton, England, and I played hockey. They liked it. They enjoyed it. As a matter of fact, when I went, we went back in 1948 I went to Brighton and where I was playing hockey was closed. The place was closed. There was a pub in the front, the Sherry, used to call the Sherry, and I went in there. I ordered a beer and the waitress said, “Are you Canadian? ” I said, “Yes, I’m Canadian.” “Ah,” she says, “I thought I could detect your accent.” She said, “Do we ever miss you,” because the pub used to be full of Canadians when we were there. “Yes,” she said, “we do miss you,” and she gave me a free drink.
