Cyclone Taylor is a Vancouver hockey legend.. would have been quite a thrill to see him speed around the ice in the old Denman arena ;) CTV Ch 9 news did a great story on him and the new reproduction Millionaires sweater being donated to the BC Sports Hall of Fame!

Only Pavel Bure, for a short period, ever could have earned a nickname like Cyclone. And Fred had something Bure always lacked: class.

You know the corner across the road from the Central Park Pitch n Putt. A friend was looking for her grandparents’ grave. I wandered around with her wishing to be anywhere else. Then below my feet I saw Fred “Cyclone” Taylor on a modest bronze plaque with the dates and such. I sat down and cleaned the bits of grass off his marker and contemplated this remarkable find of an unexpected treasure. What was looking to be just another day in the life turned out to be a moment I will forever remember. Ciao, Rebecca
