1951-52 Canadian Army

The rink, just behind the combat front, where the team played in Korea.

This team was made up of soldiers from the 25th Canadian Infantry Brigade who were in combat in South Korea. They had only limited facilities to practice - frozen rivers and a homemade outdoor rink.

The soldiers who made up this team were in combat. They were tired and out of shape when they arrived in Japan for this tour. They had very legitimate excuses for the result.

Nevertheless, they were the first Canadian team to lose all of its games on an overseas tour.
