Just Added: Paul Paddon's Hec Crighton Announcement

I noticed that I had stopped listing All-Canadians to the Gee-Gees page at about 1990 so I've added a few more as well as highlighted those who are now in the team's Hall of Fame, at least as individual performers.

The individual team pages can be a little dry so when I came across the announcement of quarterback Paul Paddon winning the Hec Crighton award in 1970, I thought I would add it as something of a page break between that section and the score listings.

It is a little disappointing, frankly. You'd think being named the country's best player would come with a bit more flash, but I was reminded that this award was only introduced in 1967 so it was fairly new at the time.

This is the Ottawa Journal's version of the announcement. 


Paddon joined the Gee-Gees program in 1967 and 1970 was his final year. He was inducted into the Gee-gees Hall of Fame in 1993.
