Thanks for the update Rebecca It was really EXCITING to be at the BC Hockey Hall of Fame Induction Dinner to see Larry Kwong receive a Standing Ovation as he was named the inaugural recipient of the Pioneer Award. Chad Soon is pushing hard for Larry to receive his own induction to the BC Hockey Hall of Fame. Check out my July 24, 2010 article about Larry Kwong receiving the inaugural PIONEER AWARD at the July 23 BC Hockey Hall of Fame Inauguration Dinner. http://www.gunghaggisfatchoy.com/blog/_archives/2010/7/24/4587181.html + Here is Terry Glavin's January 2008 article about Larry Kwong http://transmontanus.blogspot.com/2008/01/story-of-larry-kwong-bellhop-shipyard.html + Here is Tom Hawthorn's January 2008 article about Larry Kwong http://tomhawthorn.blogspot.com/2008/01/larry-kwong-beat-long-odds.html Here is the March 2008 Calgary Herald Article courtesy of Kenda Gee http://www.oocities.com/calgaryfoodretirees/kwong.html

Hi Miss 604,

Larry is a hero to many, and I am sure he is happy to know that so many have been inspired by his story. His story will hopefully be in documentary format in the near future, please let everybody know, and keep their eyes open.

An old feature from 1994 (available also at Canada’s Hockey Hall of Fame) on Larry can be found online at :

Hey, we all know that `48 to `94 was a long intervening time, and it’s all okay. (What’s not okay with me is the memory of watching that game 7 in an apartment somewhere in the West End, and seeing the puck hit the goalposts twice in the dying minutes of that torturous painful third period …)

But I have to say I love the analogy with Moonlight Graham, and because the ideas surrounding “Field of Dreams” to this day still resonate strongly with me.

Thanks for highlighting Asian Heritage Month, Beck.
