Hi -- I am a librarian who was recently asked by a library patron about a Falcons hockey team which played during the 1945-46 season. It seems she has three autographed black-and-white photographs of players in Falcons hockey uniforms (at least one of them holding a Northland hockey stick). According to their signatures, these players are Jimmy Wilson, Hank D'Amore and George Kelly. Jimmy Wilson's number ends in a 6 -- she doesn't know if it's just 6 or 16, 26, etc. One of them has written "45-46" next to his name, which makes her think these were from the 1945-46 season. She had thought they were with a professional or semi-pro team. I found that the Detroit Red Wings were know as the Falcons from the 1930/31 season through the 1932/33 season, but could find no Falcons teams from the '40s. She is now open to the idea that it may be a college (or "community" team). I have found at least three colleges with hockey teams named the Falcons: Fitchburg State, UW-River Falls, and Bowling Green State University. Does anyone out there recognize the names of these three fellows or have suggestions on other Falcons teams from the '40s? I do not subscribe to either list, so please respond directly to me. Thanks for your help! Paul ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Paul S.
