All I saw was a plaque in the the front of the building in the ground wich can hardly be seen. Is this the way to commemorate the best hockey man Verdun has produced. I also looked inside and there is no picture nor statue, nothing. I firmly believe that the Auditorium should be named the Scotty Bowman Auditorium the same that the Rouyn/Noranda arena was named after Dave Keon who was a native of that area and who played for the Toronto Maple Leafs. This is another example of the disregard that the city has for its famous citizens. They named the arena next door the Denis Savard arena who is not even a native Verdunite. Verdunites and ex-Verdunites should send the city their support for such a move.<br />GuyGuy Billardhttp://shgverdun.multiply.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6464100720604662734.post-70369958032260050612009-09-02T17:03:01.000-07:002009-09-02T17:03:01.000-07:00Guy thank you for sharing that bit of Verdun histo...Guy thank you for sharing that bit of Verdun history. Occasionally I'll search ebay for VHS yearbooks between 1953 and 1958 but so far they continue to be forgotten in someone's closet to be thrown out by the children at some point in the future. <br />Bill (Second Avenue)william Cooperhttp://howzit1.multiply.comnoreply@blogger.com
