The first reference to a Salmonbellies coach is in 1908 when Tom Gifford is singled out as performing that role. In the 1920s Leo Gregory mayhave been captain and in the 1930s - early 1940s, Bill Wilkes had that honour.

The 'C' and 'A' on swwaters seems to have been introduced in the later - 1950s. Jack Byford seems to be the first Salmonbellie to have a 'C' on his sweater.

Here is the list from 1957  - present - only 10 Salmonbellies to wear the 'C' in close to 60 years.

George Paris

Nova Scotia born George Paris was a black man raised in Montreal who came to the West Coast just before the turn of the last century.

"In Vancouver, Paris found work training the Vancouver Lacrosse Club until one fateful game in 1908 when he pulled a gun after being pelted with an egg while protecting one of his players from an angry mob of 200 New Westminster fans. His heroism nearly got him lynched and cost Paris his job and a sixty-dollar fine."
