Here is a profile of Reggie Hamilton. He was one of our Canadian cousins who played hockey in the NHL way before the Buffalo Sabres came to be. My dad (Charles) took me to Toronto to see him play in the early 40s. If my memory is correct - we took the ferry from Lewiston across Lake Ontario to Toronto and back. This was when Buffalo was bigger then Toronto.

"Reg" was the son of James Hamilton, brother of my grandfather William T. Hamilton (Lily Mae).
