Going Back in Time to Be a Part of Hockey History! The Story of the China Clipper - Larry Kwong.

Today I went back in history to 1948 as an extra in the documentary of Larry 'King' Kwong, aka the China Clipper.
Larry Kwong -

me 1948








Larry Kwong was the first Asian to to play in professional hockey for the New York Rangers.


His first game with the Rangers was against the Montreal Canadiens and he was allowed only 1 minute of ice time.

Read more about this amazing Hockey Legend who, like Jackie Robinson, broke the race barrier to play professional sports!

When the documentary comes out, I will be in the crowd, cheering on the Canadiens, over Larry's left shoulder!

Sharon, I loved that red coat! It had persian lamb covered collar and buttons! It was the only colourful coat in wardrobe and I was thrilled to be able to wear it! It matched the lipstick the makeup lady put on me! lol

Mimigirl, I didn't realize I was standing so stupidly! What a pose! Oh well, she only took one pic with my phone and I didn't want to ask for another... lol

SalGal! It's so cool! I can't wait to see the finished product! All the front row had to kneel behind the players bench because they had a false wall to make it look more old school, so we couldn't sit and have our legs go where they normally would, because the wall was sitting on the players bench! (It was an old, small town, arena about an hour out of Edmonton) My legs were going numb half the time and between takes we'd all shift or stand to get back circulation, but that was the sacrifice of getting more face time! :D

I love hockey....loved the Bruins of the 70's, Bobby Orr and Derek Sanderson!   I was a hockey cheerleader in high school and dated one of the players.  I never missed so much as one of my son's games.  Watched as the Bruins won their first Stanley Cup in 39 years.  Now this....my favorite actress in a hockey movie....too exciting!
