Dozer got it! Brian Kilrea, inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame scored the Kings frist goal in 1967.

I'd give you a prize, but it's tied up in Bruce McNall's bankruptcy. Sorry!

I grew up in Oshawa, a big fan of the Oshawa Generals (you may have heard of a few Alumni...Bobby Orr, Dave Andrechuk, Eric Lindros, Jason Arnott, Wayne Primeau, Eric Boulton, Freddy Braithwaite...)

Anyway, the Ottawa 67's were in the same division and I remember Kilrea on the bench when I was just a young pup in the 70's...that was always a great rivalry. When I moved to London, Kilrea-coached teams kept the London Knights from the Memorial Cup (Canadian Championships) two years in a row. When I moved to North Bay, when the 67's were in town, It was a must-see game. Kilrea's 67's always put a strong, very physical team on the ice.

I'm about an hour & 20 mins away from Sudbury, where Mike Foligno is starting out his OHL coaching career. I'd go see them, except the Wolves as an organization have absolutely zero class with the way they fired another coaching legend (coached in North Bay for years) , Bert Templeton last year after he revealed to them he has cancer. He successfully sued them for hundreds of thousands after that bonehead move. Talk about your zero-class organization. I hope foligno follows in the footsteps of coacching greats like Kilrea & Templeton...unfortunately he's with a horrible organization.
