Dear Sirs, your web page http://www.ihjuk.co.uk/hall_of_fame/zamick.htm giving a biography of Victor Zamick has made a grave error in his nickname and thus the title of the page also.

I was fan(atical) follower of "Chic" Zamick, watching every match possible televised on the BBC that I could. Yes, BBC used to televise some matches of the British Ice Hockey League live, and his nickname as you say was taken from a brand of chewing gum, "Chiclets".

Why without a "K"? Because "Chicle" is the name of the natural rubber sap from which Chiclets were made originally. Whether that is still true I don't know. The people who tapped the trees for the sap were and still are called 'Chicleros', though now they are more likely to be involved in searching for and plundering Central and South American archeological sites and not to be trifled with.

Thus Victor's nickname was then and still is "Chic" without a "k". So please, check your sources and correct your web pages, especially Chic's own biography, please.

Maybe my friend you would be kind enough to provide some facts to back up your assertion.

They cannot be sources contemporary with Zamick's long career on Nottingham ice. All such sources such as Panthers match night programmes, as far back as 1948, 'Ice Hockey World Annuals' and even his signature,of which I have several in my archives spell 'Chick' with the final 'k'.

So it is unlikely that his Hall of Fame profile will be changed.

I would be interested if I could at some time have a sight of those programmes. As a historian of the sport in Britain I've authored two recent books on British ice hockey which have brief mentions of George Strubbe. Your message is of great interest, containing as it does his date of birth and passing, other biographical details would be welcomed.

Can anyone send me details such as result, line ups etc, of an International Ice Hockey match played between England and USA at Southampton in 1954 or 1955.
I played in this match aged 17 but I don't have any records or detailed recollections of this major event in my life.

I had the pleasure last week to have been in the company of some of the Great Britain team of the1950s/60s , Mike O'Brien ,Rupe Fresher Tony Whitehead John Cook ,why are some if not all of them not in your Hall of Fame .Most of the names there i ,and i am sure many others have never even heard of , people associated with the game but never played it .A hall of fame should be for outstanding players not hangers on of the game.

Roy and all,
I have been able to also contact a few ex-Nottingham players in the past.Wish to also at will email them again should I need their 'tales' for my writing on hockey. Some have replied recently to add comments to my latest venture. If anyone has contact with a player that I might be able to introduce myself to for future reference I'd be glad to hear from you on spikc2004 , thanks.

So Roy, have you Rupe Freshers contact.That you may be able to ask hm if I can write/email him?

in you hall of fame item on sir arthur elvin you seem to imply that elvin was some sort of hockey superfan his actual
"first love" was speedway and without the massive crowds at wembley during the 40s and 50s wembley stadium would have been demolished before the 1966 world cup and the subsequent takeover by the f.a.and football of the running of the country in general

]Yes you are right Sir Arthur was not a super fan but did watch a lot of hockey from the restaurant. He would not tolerate any rough play from his teams and I know of the notes he sent down to the bench warning the new players to clean up their act or be on the next plane to Canada
