Pro wrestler Paul Leduc thrilled crowds as half of an axe-wielding tag team of faux lumberjacks (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The brothers Paul and Jos Leduc wore tuques topped by a pompom, grew chinstrap beards and donned checked flannel shirts open to the navel. Like any tough lumberjacks from the backwoods of Quebec, they also carried axes. The fearsome tag team engaged in sweaty, bloody combat against other professional wrestlers, most notably feuding with the Rougeau family and the notorious brothers Maurice (Mad Dog) and Paul (The Butcher) Vachon. Between Expo 67 and the 1976 Olympics, the Leduc brothers were an
Rower Archie MacKinnon helped usher in a golden age for his sport on Canada’s West Coast (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Though the teenager had never once sat in a racing shell, Archie MacKinnon, a freshman electrical engineering student, tried out for the varsity rowing team when he arrived on campus. He later said he “thought it would be easy to make” the team, guided by Frank Read, the University of British Columbia’s legendary coach.

He would use the notes to challenge th

Read excerpt
In one week in 1972, Josef Kompalla went from being an unknown to the most hated man in Canada. The German hockey referee became the target of nationalist enmity while officiating two of the games of the legendary Summit Series, pitting the Soviet Union’s national team against all-star Canadian professionals from the National Hockey League. Mr. Kompalla, who has died in Germany at the age of 90, was called a Nazi, a Communist, a stooge, “myopic,” “Team Canada’s nemesis,” a “Moscow man,” a “puppe
Jackie MacDonald stood out as a Canadian woman who dominated her sports (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A year after Jackie MacDonald first picked up the heavy ball used in shot put, she won a silver medal at the British Empire and Commonwealth Games. The 21-year-old Grade 5 teacher from Toronto was a sensation at Empire Stadium in Vancouver, an unknown who suddenly stood among the world’s best at propelling a four-kilogram metal ball. Ms. MacDonald, who has died at 93, won five national championships in shot put, as well as two more in discus, making her the dominant Canadian woman in those disci
