Hockey Blast From The Past for Oshawa Residents -- From the Oshawa Times

 

Man this was a blast from the past for me. I remember my dad taking me to watch a Junior A hockey game at the Oshawa Civic Auditorium when Bobby Orr was a phenom with them. And then we had the hockey series with the "evil empire" the Soviet Union. Not only did the pros play, but they sent junior teams over as well. The Soviet juniors played the Toronto Marlboros, but the Marlies padded their team with Bobby Orr.

I also remember fondly buying hockey sticks at Jim Bishop Sporting Goods on King Street in Oshawa.
