Paul Dechaine, January 27, 2011 at 13:22

Hello, My father Paul Dechaine (I'm a junior) worked at the Giant Mine in the 50's or 60's. I'm uncertain about the exact dates, as I was only born in '77. I know that he played hockey for the company team as I remember a photo of the team. Dad has been gone since 2000 and most of his belongings were lost in a fire at a storage facility. I'm wondering if it would be at all possible to find this picture, or any others of his mining days for my sons. I'd also love to commision a replica hockey jersey and would need a photo of the jersey and logo. Thanks so much for your time. PJ Dechaine .... RESPONSE VIA EMAIL - Good to hear from the Dechaine family. We do indeed have a hockey photo that shows your father. It is from the 1961-1962 season when he played for the Giant Grizzlies in the Yellowknife senior league. The photo is attached. - Ryan Silke
