FRANK BRICKER Some of the boxers that Frank worked with include
Gordon Wallace and Gary Broughton to Johnny, Terry and Gary Summerhays
and many more in the Brantford region of Ontario, Canada.

Part of the story was told by Frank Allnut in a special
Nov.-Dec. 1971 issue of The RING Magazine
and part of the story was told in the BRANTFORD & Area
Sports Hall of Fame

BRANTFORD & AREA SPORTS HALL OF FAME

In The RING story, there was a photo of Johnny Summerhays winning
in the 1969 Senior Nationals in St. Catherines, Ontario.

In thehistory of Canadian boxing there are many more excellent
coaches and trainers to go around even back to the days of
POP FOSTER when he took care of JIMMY MCLARNIN.

LIFE and TIMES of PRO BOXING in WESTERN CANADA

BRITISH COLUMBIA PRO BOXING: by Brian Zelley

Looking back there have been many names in the game.
Some names from the Forties would include the likes of
Kenny Lindsay, Frank and Stan Almond, Jackie Turner
and many more, but other earlier names include those
such as JIMMY MCLARNIN, BILLY TOWNSEND
and TOMMY PAONESSA.

As we move forward in time many other boxers
would be part of the pro boxing scene in the
Pacific Northwest such as LENNIE WALTERS
 HAROLD MANN and JIMMY WALTERS.
 Others would follow over the years. Some names oF 
 interest include:
GORD RACETTE, JAMIE OLLENBERGER and
GORDIE LAWSON but we cannot forget others
such as MICHAEL OLAJIDE jR.,  TONY PEP,
DALE WALTERS, MANNY SOBRAL nd others.
