Calgary Stampeders beat Kimberley Dynamiters 4 games to 2
Dynamiters Bow to Calgary
The injury riddled Kimberley Dynamiters lost out to Calgary's Stampeders in
the Western Canada semi-final series, but not before they put up a gallant
battle, and the Stampeders knew they had to go at their best lick to defeat
the boys from B.C.
The series was a best-of-seven affair, with the Stampeders winning four
games, to the Dynamiters two--with all but one contest fought right down to
the wire. The first two games were played in Calgary, with the Stampeders
taking the opener by the score of 6-4, and the Dynamiters coming back to
capture the second fixture by an identical score. The teams moved to
Edmonton for the next two games, with the Dynamiters taking the lead in the
series by shading the surprised Stampeders 2-1 in the first encounter at the
Gardens. Calgary came from behind to deadlock the series, with a thrilling
3-2 win, with the entire city of Edmonton pulling for the Dynamiters. The
fifth game was played at the Saskatoon Arena, with the Stampeders handling
the Dynamiters with ease, by posting a convincing 8-3 victory. The sixth
contest was played back at Calgary, and was reported to have been one of the
best-played hockey games seen in the Victoria Arena in years. Over 5,000
wild-eyed fans packed the arena, to see the Stampeders sneak by the tired
Dynamiter team 4-3.
The Stampeders were coached by Jack Arbour, with Dave Duchak their general
manager. Russ Dertell was a standout in the Stampeders' net; likewise was
Jakie Nash for the Dynamiters. Rounding out the Stampeders lineup were Art
Michaluk, Sid Craddock, Bud Emery, Art Shoquist (defence); Doug French,
Bunny Dame, Doug Cairns, Archie Wilder, Ken "Red" Hunter, Tony Desmarais,
Dunc Grant and Bob Brownridge.
The 1946-47 Dynamiters may have not been the best team to ever wear a
Dynamiter uniform, but one can say they were not the most "courageous." It
had been a rewarding season for the Dynamiters coach, Ralph Redding, to see
his boys put up such an outstanding performance against one of the most
powerful teams to ever represent Calgary.
Ralph Redding has given more to the sport of hockey in Kimberley than any
other individual, both as a player and a coach. He has coached more
Dynamiter teams than anyone else, and was a real credit to the sport--both
on the ice and off.
