He was a wonderful hockey player and a big fan of Newsy Lalonde. Shortly after Newsy scored 6 goals in one game my grandfather scored 6 goals in a home game and was given Newsy as his nickname. I recently had to decide what to put on my Sharks jersey and decided to go with "Newsy" in honor of my grandfather and of the Montreal hero, Newsy Lalonde. I also have the #4 on my jersey and chose to have a "C" on the front, not as "captain", but as Canadian. I feel I am carrying on my grandfathers passion for hockey and honoring one of the original greats of the game. <br />Phyllis Roberts, Go Sharks!!!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11312774941676796726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28304287.post-54673317908207044712008-04-15T09:53:00.000-07:002008-04-15T09:53:00.000-07:00I met my uncle (my father's brother) at our home o...I met my uncle (my father's brother) at our home on Oneida Lake, NY twice.

I think because of him is the reason I LOVE hockey so much.<BR/> <BR/>Thank you for writing this article. I enjoyed it very much.<BR/><BR/>Denise LalondeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
