Glad to see all of this hard work put into this AMHL Site! Congratulations to those who made it happen.
I would like to see a little more tradition added to it, for example the Red Deer Rebels are credited with winning 5 Championships, but before that those Rebels were called the Chiefs, and they won the League in 78/79 with the Moller Brothers, Brian Curran, Rob Hamil, and a host of other hard working players, and then the next year I believe that they won it again. They also went to the Air Canada Cup ( Telus Cup ) national championships in 78/79....they may have even won the first Macs Championship, and I would just like to see former NHLer noticed in this League going back even a little further. Troy Murray, Carl Mokosak, Mike and Randy Moller, Brian Curran...Mark Tinordi, Brian and Jim Benning,these were years of riding 1940's army buses up and down highway two with 3/4" or frost on the inisde of the bus windows but a lot of NHLers came out of those early years just about the time Mr. Gretzky had come out west to encourage us all with the idea that hockey was our game!!!
Let's call for a complete list of winners, and NHLers going all of the way back to the Edmonton Mercury Olympic team win in 1952 and let the kids see that the game really is ours and that a lot of talent and sweat came before cell phones and DVD players on buses!
