Maritime Senior Hockey
Hi, thanks for your edits in this area. Do you have more information on senior hockey in the Maritimes during the 1980s and 1990s? I'd love to get final tables and playoff results for all the Nova Scotia Senior/Northumberland Dairy/Bay of Chaleur League seasons. MarchandTriedToLickMe (talk) 01:43, 12 March 2021 (UTC)

Scooter1720: You're very welcome. I have access to the Telegraph Journal website, one of the newspapers here in New Brunswick and that's where I get my information from. If you subscribe, you can find stats senior hockey leagues from across Atlantic Canada including all the all the Nova Scotia Senior/Northumberland Dairy/Bay of Chaleur League seasons.

Scooter172 and MarchandTriedtoLickMe,

I remember the Halifax Daily News having a lot of standings and results on ice hockey involving teams across Nova Scotia (and Maritime wide leagues) when I went to Halifax for research trips in the early 1990's. The stopped printing in 2008, so I think a library newspaper archive might be the best bet for that. Dtalbot (talk) 14:57, 21 March 2021 (UTC)

Scooter, thank you, I was not aware the Telegraph Journal had archives available online through subscription. How far back do they go? I'm looking for NB stuff as early as the 1890s.

Dtalbot, yes, the Halifax Herald is another paper which offered good hockey coverage. The Cape Breton Post did as well. My problem with Nova Scotia is that there's little in the way of online archives. That's where I've been getting all the senior/junior/college stuff I've been posting over the last few months. Going to Halifax to look at microfilm isn't really feasible for me. MarchandTriedToLickMe (talk) 17:01, 21 March 2021 (UTC)

If I remember correctly, I got some stuff online over the last few years on one of the universities in Halifax's online library or the Halifax or provincial archives, looking up some stuff on university hockey and on my family history (My mom grew up and Halifax and I live in the greater Boston area) that didn't require any payment. It was more so the Chronicle Herald and one or two weekly newspapers if my memory serves me right. Dtalbot (talk) 20:15, 21 March 2021 (UTC)

Hmm... I've done some searching, but haven't been able to find anything... maybe I'm just not looking in the right place. MarchandTriedToLickMe (talk) 22:09, 21 March 2021 (UTC)

I have been trying to subscribe to the Telegraph Journal for a week now and every time I have tried to pay (at least 10) I have gotten a "Something went wrong on our end" message. I have emailed them three times without hearing back, and was disconnected when I tried phoning. Extremely frustrating to say the least, as I had been planning to add a lot of NB stuff to the wiki over the past week. Might be the worst customer service experience I have ever had.

I was finally able to subscribe. Prepare for an influx of Maritime articles in the coming days! MarchandTriedToLickMe (talk) 21:56, 16 June 2021 (UTC)
