Notes
Inquiry to Graeme MacKay, January 12, 2017
I work at the Hockey Hall of Fame and have been going through some very old photos. I found one of a man dressed in a suit and identified as S.A.B. McCleary. He would have been a coach or manager for a team in the 1930s or 1940s, possibly the Oakville Villans. Could this be a relative of yours? Can you tell me anything at all about his involvement in hockey?
