Recently Team Saskatchewan performed in the Junior & Youth Amateur Boxing Championships in Edmonton two of the team members were Drake Thauberfer and Vienna Piemo.   Team coaches according to Boxing Saskatchewan were

Frank Fiacco and George Goff.

Of interest, an expected competition for May 2009 i 

"The Ken Goff Memorial Classic"


One of the past presidents of Boxing Saskatchewan is Morgan Williams.


It was 25 years ago, when Williams was one of the ring officials at the

Junior Nationals held at Burnaby, B C May 25 - 27, 1984.  In that

tournament Saskatchewan boxers included Wesley Sunshine, Jeff Hill, 

J. Greenwood and Steven Penrod.


Some may also remember Morgan Williams as an amateur boxer with

Weyburn's Soo Line Boxing Club under the capable hands of Hank Hartenberger.

Bob Hickie,With the Melville Boxing Club, 1949-1953

We had a very active Boxing Club in Melville while growing up there...during my 4 years 

with the MBC I won 4 Provincial Titles as I grew from Bantamweight(1949) to Lightweight(1953)..during the 1953 tournament in Saskatoon I won the Lightweight Title and was voted the "Most Outstanding Boxer" and was asked to represent Saskatchewan in the National Tournament in Montreal Quebec....

Question:

Where can I access the Boxing History of this era?

If it is amateur boxing that may be difficult.  May need to join a boxing forum.
