WORLD HOCKEY CHAMPIONS (I.I.H.F.)
The Quakers played several exhibition games
in Canada using the gate receipts to help defray travel expenses. The
club continued its exhibition series with games in Norway, Sweden,
Germany, France, Austria, Switzerland, Hungary and Italy. Saskatoon
played 51 games, winning 43, losing five, and tying three. In 35 games
overseas, the opposition scored only 21 goals.
The Quakers won the world amateur title
defeating the United States 2-1 in Milan, Italy. In addition to the
championship trophy, the Quakers were presented with a trophy from the
Italian government.
While in Munich, Germany, the Quakers placed
a wreath on the tomb of the “Unknown Soldier” which was greatly
appreciated by German officials.
