Together their lives were divided between his hockey careers which included the NHL as a Bruin plus 10 years with the Portland Buckaroos of the old WHL. After the hockey season it was back to Lloydminster to farming the Leach land which they moved full time to in 1973, where he was involved with various local minor hockey associations plus coached Junior and Senior hockey all the while farming and raising the family.
