Born and raised hockoywise at Seaforth, Ont. Welland developed under Bill Hancock. noted Toronto junior coach, when Cooney went to Owen Sound in 1922 to play for the Greys.

The Minne- apolis defence at that time con- sisted of Chlng Johnson and Taffy Abel, the giants who set a new high for heft when they later Joined Rangers together.

As long as he remained with 308ml! Mien after the "Dynamite Trio" was broken up with the de- parture of Dutch Gainer, Welland was a top-notch scorer. He was traded to Ottawa.
