In 1941, the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association (CAHA) appointed a committee to write a history of hockey in Canada, led by James T. Sutherland, including W. A. Hewitt and Quebec hockey executive George Slater.[1][2] In 1943, the committee concluded that hockey had been played in Canada since 1855, and that Kingston and Halifax had equal claims to be the birthplace of hockey, since both cities hosted games played by the Royal Canadian Rifle Regiment. The report also stated that Kingston had the first recognized hockey league in 1885, which merged into the Ontario Hockey Association in 1890.[3][4] A delegation from Kingston then went to the CAHA general meeting in 1943, and was endorsed to establish a Hockey Hall of Fame in Kingston.[2]

In September 1943, Hewitt was named to the board of directors for selecting inductees into the Hockey Hall of Fame, and sought recommendations by sportswriters from The Canadian Press and the Associated Press.[5] He was named chairman and secretary of the board of governors in 1944,[6] and the CAHA agreed to donate 25 per cent of its profits from the 1945–46 season to help erect a building for the hall of fame.[7] In May 1945, Hewitt announced that nine players were the first group of inductees into the Hockey Hall of Fame.[8] In October 1945, a special committee chosen by the board of governors named six "builders of hockey" to be added to the inaugural group of inductees.[9]

The Hockey Hall of Fame committee was incorporated in 1948, and elected an additional seven to its board of governors to give representation to a broader area.[10] Hewitt remained on the board of governors until 1950.[11] By September 1955, a building for the hall of fame had not been constructed in Kingston, when a group of businessmen from Toronto were given approval for a hall of fame building which opened at Exhibition Place in Toronto in 1961. A separate International Hockey Hall of Fame later opened in Kingston in 1965.[2]

  • The Romanian hockey team, full of Hungarian players, had a magical moment when they were promoted to Group A, an eight-team elite in 1977. It is easy to calculate that six places were always occupied in the elite: the Soviets, Americans, Canadians, Finns, Swedes and Czechoslovaks stood out from the international field. There was a big battle for the remaining two places, and the Romanians had earned the right to be among the elite by winning Group B a year earlier. At the World Championships in Vienna, their first row, i.e. their top five, looked like this: Gál, Antal – Axinte, Tureanu, Costea (Netedu in goal). Dezső Varga is the only Hungarian ice hockey player from Romania who has participated in three Olympics, of course he is also from Miercurea Ciuc. Antal called promotion to the elite his greatest experience: they beat the Swiss 7-4 in 1976 and opened the way to Group A. The Romanian national team was bilingual, the Romanians also sang the songs in Hungarian. On the closing day of the 1964 Winter Olympics, the Romanian and Hungarian ice hockey teams played each other, and the Romanians won 8–3. The Romanian national team, consisting of 8 Hungarians, finished in twelfth place, the Hungarians finished last, sixteenth, without scoring any points. Here are the minutes of the February match from Népsport. Dezső Varga, who came on as a substitute, played in three Olympics, played for the Romanian national team between 1961 and 1977, and was counted in 14 World Cups.[11]
