DAN RALPH Herald Sports Editor So often when a youngster leaves a small community and makes It big he forgets from wherehe originated Such is not the cose With Bob Goldham The Georgetown native left this community to play hockey In Ihe 1940s and played on five Stanley Cup winners in his National Hockey League NHL career two with Toronto Maple Leafs and three with Detroit Red Wings However he still remembers his home town and those people who helped him along In his developing years I ve always said this is my home Goldham said after being honored as the eighth recipient of Ihe Hockey Heritage Award Monday night This Is where It all starts As a youngster growing up in Georgetown but only had two real heros his father and the late Gordon Alcott Those two got me started on the right track and hopefully kept me on that path My dad was the one who told me of you really wanted something bad enough you could have it he said The evening was special for Goldham In many ways It allowed him a chance to renew old hockey acquaintances ty to have his family together once again has three daughters one of which lives in Halifax and she made the trip to Georgetown for her father award presentation Having all my family together really makes me feel good Goldham said I have a sort spot In my heart for my girls and when I get oil three together it is really quite special Over 300 people attended Monday event which was a surprise to the man being honored I figured guys I know would turn out and we would sit around and talk about old times But when your peers do something like this for you it is really something Even though I don get to see some of these guys former teammates for three to four years it is just like yesterday the last time we met II a bard to explain the relationship we had I remember after the 1979 World Series Pittsburgh Willie said his team was like a family and that la what we have now It a funny thing to have a guy say he loves another but we all loved each other and the worst thing we could do t to lose a hockey game it was to make a mistake that could hurt the other said At the end of the 19S45S season was selected as the Most Valuable Player for the Detroit club It was an honor he cherished very much However Monday honor mean just as much to the yearold now That year I played on a team that had guys like Howe and Terry Sawchuck and I was named MVP That was the biggest thing that happened and tonight is on that level Small towns are what makes It and you can t forget who you ere This comes from a man who obviously bis wife said
