“The Flying Islanders” may have been the name of this well dressed team of young women who played hockey regularly in the old Cossitt Arena in Brockville at Broad and Water St.

However, we just made up this name to stimulate interest. If you will notice the insignia on the sweater of each girl, you may make out an I with wings.

Nobody I previously contacted was able to give me a team name, but one of you might have more information. We also hope that the names are relatively accurate.

Source: A copy of this photo was loaned to me by Helen (Hall) Higgins, Brockville, whose mother, Celia (Belmont) Hall is in the picture. In addition, the late Dorothy Jenkinson, Brockville, had many fond memories of her aunt, Maude (Timleck) Vance, and was very familiar with her aunt’s hockey playing.
