Surprise! 1913-14 hockey photo reveals unexpected connection

A Gaels women카지노 게임 컬렉션™s hockey team meeting led to an amazing discovery. 

Head Coach Matt Holmberg was discussing the history of the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션™s women카지노 게임 컬렉션™s hockey program with the team and showed a photo of the Arts 1915 Ladies카지노 게임 컬렉션™ Hockey Champions from 1913-14. 

One player in the photo, a woman identified simply as W. Sly, caught the attention of current Gaels hockey team forward , Artsci카지노 게임 컬렉션™23.

카지노 게임 컬렉션œMatt pulled it up on the PowerPoint and he was talking about the team and said, 카지노 게임 컬렉션˜I just noticed this, but her last name Sly.카지노 게임 컬렉션™카지노 게임 컬렉션 Shelby recalls. 카지노 게임 컬렉션œI laughed out loud. I was thinking, 카지노 게임 컬렉션˜Could you imagine if I was related to her?카지노 게임 컬렉션™카지노 게임 컬렉션

Shelby reached out to her grandmother, Linda Sly, who keeps track of family history, and was able to confirm the pleasant surprise 카지노 게임 컬렉션“ W. Sly and Shelby Sly are related.

W. Sly카지노 게임 컬렉션™s full name is Mary Elizabeth Wilhelmina Sly (1892카지노 게임 컬렉션“1985) and her grandfather is Shelby카지노 게임 컬렉션™s great-great-great uncle.

"It is kind of crazy. My dad loved hearing the news. He is a huge family guy and hockey guy,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Shelby, who now has a copy of the photo hanging in her home. 카지노 게임 컬렉션œMy grandmother is into ancestry and family history, so it was fun connecting with her over this.카지노 게임 컬렉션

Her grandmother, Linda Sly, was excited when Shelby asked about the family connection. Linda already had a family tree on Ancestry.com and was able to quickly find the connection. 

카지노 게임 컬렉션œI was so excited when she asked to look into the possible connection, so I went right to the website and discovered they are related. It was easy to find,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Linda.

Mary Elizabeth Wilhelmina went on to marry Robert Mills in 1917 and had two children before passing away in Eganville, Ont., in 1985 at the age of 92.

Sports run in the family. Linda did a little more digging and discovered that Wilhelmina카지노 게임 컬렉션™s great-grandson, George Bovell, swam for Trinidad and Tobago and won a bronze medal in the men카지노 게임 컬렉션™s 200-metre individual medley at the 2004 Olympic Games.

The connection, and knowing her family is part of Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션™s hockey history, is meaningful to Shelby because this is her final season. She joined the Gaels in 2018-19, serving as assistant captain in the last two. 

카지노 게임 컬렉션œIt being my last season, it카지노 게임 컬렉션™s super emotional for me,카지노 게임 컬렉션 Shelby says. 카지노 게임 컬렉션œThe one thing we really stressed this season, especially when we talked about our history, is belonging. I tied my 카지노 게임 컬렉션˜why카지노 게임 컬렉션™ into this season 카지노 게임 컬렉션“ why am I doing this, why do I show up every day? I think it카지노 게임 컬렉션™s knowing that this is something so much bigger than myself.카지노 게임 컬렉션
