University of Saskatchewan Huskies Men's Hockey Team - Gerry Couture

Gerry Couture, right winger and captain, in uniform.

Bio/Historical Note: Gerald Joseph Wilfred Arthur (Doc) Couture was born 6 August 1925 in Saskatoon and attended St. Joseph's School. While there he experienced his first hockey success, playing on the Church League winners in 1936 and 1937. He played junior hockey for the Saskatoon Quakers in 1941-1942 and 1942-1943 and then joined the University of Saskatchewan Huskies where he starred for two seasons. Couture was an outstanding tennis player, joining John Leicester in doubles and often winning Saskatchewan championships. They played in two Canadian championships and once beat the Mexican Davis Cup doubles team. Couture also played some senior hockey at this time, including while serving with the Navy in Saskatoon. Couture started his National Hockey League career as a right-winger with the Detroit Red Wings in the 1945 Stanley Cup playoffs. He had an outstanding season in 1949-50 when he scored 29 goals - his best season in the NHL, and played on the Detroit team, which won the Stanley Cup. He scored four goals and one assist in the playoffs and his line scored the winner in the seventh game of the final against New York. Couture was traded to the Montreal Canadiens in exchange for Bert Hirschfield in 1951. He played 10 games with the Habs in their 1951-52 campaign, posting one assist and amassing four penalty minutes before a laceration he suffered to his ankle brought his season to an early end. He was traded to the Chicago Blackhawks in 1952 in return for financial compensation. Couture played two seasons with Chicago before announcing his retirement. Couture scored 86 goals and recorded 70 assists in his 385-game career. He played 45 playoff games with 9 goals and 7 assists. Couture joined the Calgary Stampeders of the Western Hockey League for three seasons, scoring 32 goals and winning all-star one year and scoring 33 goals another season. He later played for Saskatoon-St. Paul Regals and finished his career with the Saskatoon Quakers who went to the western final in 1959-60. He was the team coach and won the Saskatchewan Senior Hockey League most valuable player award. Couture died 13 July 1994, a month after learning he had been accepted into the Saskatoon Sports Hall of Fame.

University of Saskatchewan Women's Hockey Team - Group Photo

Group photo of hockey team members: Annie Maude (Nan) McKay, Ginger Catherwood, Queade Isabel Helen Johnston, Ellen Andreasen, N. Busselle, A. Robinson (capt), Elizabeth Marguerite Gardiner, Cora Ada Myers, Sandy McIntyre (coach).

Bio/Historical Note: Born in Hannah, North Dakota in 1902, Ginevra (Ginger) Irene Catherwood and her family moved to a homestead just outside Scott, Saskatchewan, four years later. Ginger likely learned to skate and play hockey on frozen sloughs. She also played baseball and excelled as pitcher. Catherwood entered the University of Saskatchewan on a scholarship in 1919. It was on the ice, as captain of the Varsity women’s hockey team, where she excelled. Catherwood’s arrival at the U of S coincided with the beginning of inter-varsity competition in women’s hockey. During the 1920-1921 season, playing against the University of Manitoba, Catherwood scored five goals in the first period and finished the game with three more in a 9-1 victory. She netted four goals in the first 11 minutes in a match against the University of Alberta. The final score was Saskatchewan 7 (Catherwood 6) and Alberta 1. The Saskatoon Star-Phoenix declared the U of S team the unofficial champion of university women’s hockey that season (there was no formal league at the time.) Opposing teams quickly learned that Catherwood was a scoring threat every time she had the puck. During the 1921-1922 season, she was hurt in the first period in a game in Edmonton and left the ice. The team squeaked out a 2-1 win. She was still nursing her injury in the next game against Manitoba and played defence in a 2-2 tie. Catherwood graduated with a three-year Arts degree in 1922. After attending Normal School in Saskatoon, she found work as a teacher in the Plenty, Saskatchewan district. Then in 1928, her sister Ethel won Olympic gold in high jump and Ginger was called upon by their family to chaperone her during her Canadian travels. Ginger was rumoured to have accompanied Ethel when she left Canada for the United States sometime around 1932. Ginger Catherwood later married English-born Charles Mitchell in Toronto in the fall of 1933.

Bio/Historical Note: The colours green and white were chosen in 1910 by Reginald Bateman, a native of Ireland and the first English professor at the University of Saskatchewan. The name Huskies was included in an article in the 20 September 1932 Star-Phoenix: “The Varsity Stadium yesterday morning saw the advance guard of over twenty gridiron Huskies swing into action.” One of the earliest pictures of players wearing sweaters with ‘Huskies’ on them was the 1932-1933 Greystone yearbook, which showed the men’s hockey team in uniforms with the new name.
