H. Carleton Smith was born and raised in Windsor, N.S. and gained provincial
fame as a hockeyist as he played for King’s College in Windsor. In 1921,
the King’s College Ice Hockey Team travelled to Boston to play games with
Harvard University and Boston Tech, as well as Dartmouth College in New
Hampshire. Shipping had gone on between the ports of Windsor and Boston
for decades, but that was the first time that a team had travelled that
far from the province to play Ice Hockey. Ice Hockey spread from place
to place across the country in the early days of the game, particularly
as a result of intercollegiate tournaments.
