105 Years Ago: Wheaties @ Stanley Cup !
3/1/2009 at 4:17 AM
FYI ! On March 09, 1904 the Brandon Wheat Kings started a two game series against the Ottawa Silver Sevens for the Stanley Cup. Ottawa beat Brandon 6-3 in the first game and 9-3 in the second game (played March 11,1904).
I found the following quote and a pic of Ottawa at www.sportsecyclopedia.com/nhl/ott/originalsens.html No pic of the Wheaties, though !
"In 1904 the Silver Seven rolled through the Winnipeg Rowing Club, Sending every player from WRC off the ice via stretcher. The Silver Seven were intimidating as they also rolled through the Toronto Marlboros, Montreal Wanderers, and Brandon Wheat Kings in 1904".
