Alberta Sports Hall of Fame
|
The Medicine Hat Tigers were granted an expansion franchise in the Western Canada Hockey League for the 1970-71 season. Since then, the team has captured an amazing 5 league championships. However, it was their back-to-back Memorial Cup Championships that garnered their inclusion into the Alberta Sports Hall of Fame. The determination to build a winner started at the top, and Owner and President George Maser was no exception. George assembled a hockey staff that was arguably the best in all of junior hockey. Together, they were able to identify such talented players as Mark Fitzpatrick, Rob DiMaio, Mark Pederson, Dean Chynoweth, Trevor Linden, Wayne McBean and Scott McCrady. The Tigers became the only Alberta-based team to ever win back-to-back Memorial Cup Championships. Congratulations to this most deserving franchise, the Medicine Hat Tigers. |
