Quebec Nips Hamilton In Memorial Cup Start
MONTREAL— When the ‘Big Three’ of major junior hockey in Canada gathered here for the 1976 Memorial Cup championship tournament there was considerable doubt about the depth and quality of the Quebec Major League contender—the Quebec Remparts. The big rap against the Quebecers was good offense but no defense. The Remparts showed during the regular 1975-76 QMHL season they could always put the puck in the net.

The Flyers were counting on Parent’s playoff experience (two Stanley Cups, the NHL’s only back-to-back Conn Smythe Trophy winner) to carry them through what was expected to be a relatively easy quarter-final with Toronto. As history, including Toronto police records, will show the series was anything but easy. The sevengame grind was as close to combat conditions as sports can get. When peace and a…
