Description |
A black and white photographic print of the No.16 (Machine Gun) Platoon, D Company, The RCR, hockey team from 1936-1937. The team were the champions of the Garrison Hockey League. The print is set inside a grey mat or cardboard frame, with the title of the team above the photo and the names and positions typed below. There is a thick black border around the photo with silver accents on each corner and in the middle of each line. The photo depicts 15 men arranged into a line of 10 standing in the back row and 5 men seated in the front row. All 10 men standing are wearing their hockey uniform consisting of a light-coloured sweater with a thick dark horizontal stripe across the chest (one man appears to have "RCR" in light letters across this band), hockey shorts, socks, and skates. Some men appear to be holding hockey sticks. The front row consists of 3 men in uniform, and 2 men in goaltending gear sitting alternately. The two men in goaltending gear have "RCR" across their sweaters and are wearing leg pads. They are both holding goalie sticks. All three of the men in uniform are wearing fur caps, but only the men on either end of the row have cap badges. A trophy sits on a small box in front of the man in the very middle, framed by the goalie sticks. The title above the photograph reads "No. 16 (MACHINE GUN) PLATOON / D.Company, The Royal Canadian Regiment. / CHAMPIONS GARRISON HOCKEY LEAGUE / 1936--1937."
