The names of Arche and Hassler are worth further study. Arche was either a son of one of the Spanish hockey pioneers in the 1920s, the three Arche brothers, or it was one of them who played. Hassler is another intriguing name. There is a good possibility it was the old French star [[Albert Hassler]], who was 49 at the time. As a former speed-skating champion, he likely still would have been able to compete at the much lower level found in Spain.
