BOB BERRY


Bob was a top scorer in the Montréal jr A league and the
Montréal Canadians sent him to play for the Peterborough petes of the OHL. He wasn't happy there and returned to school at sir George. He played for the Georgians for 3 seasons from 64 to 67.During that time the sir George teams were a mighty force in the OSLAA. He was very tough in front of the net and scored a lot of goals off his body and skates.
On one occasion a big defenseman from Carleton charged him from behind and ran right into his elbow...to add insult to injury the defenseman was assessed a penalty for charging when he woke up. One of my most memorable moments was against Loyola in a league playoffs at the forum. Loyola star Rick Dawson scored late in the 3rd period to force a sudden death playoff. I don't think bob left the ice until he finally scored, around the 10 min mark. Bob also was a great football and baseball player.  He was offered scholarships in both sports. I played football with bob in the Montréal senior league for one season. he later played with the Montréal rifles. He went on to play with the Los Angeles kings and then into coaching .I had the chance to work with bob during training camp when he coached the Montréal Canadians. Presently he is scouting for the Ottawa senators.
