With the NHL season fast approaching, here is a photo of a former NHL centreman Clint Smith coaching a group of young skaters at the dedication ceremony of the Capilano Winter Club in February of 1956.

Smith played for the New York Rangers for seven seasons starting in 1936, winning the Stanley Cup in 1940 and the Lady Byng Trophy twice. He finished his career with Chicago and then retired to Vancouver to coach.

He was inducted to the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1991 and was one of the founding members of the B.C. Hockey Benevolent Association.
