Greg Parker; I have an autographed picture of you /early 70′s! You autographed it for me. I was 14 years old….and thought you were a hunk! If I am right, you were the goalie….and you played with my uncle Larry Lumsden! I do not have the pictue in front of me…but I can produce it! I also have one signed by my uncle! My husband and I were talking abo0ut this….we live in St.Pete…and our team The Tampa Bay Lightning just one in the shootout!!!! It made me think of the first hockey game I ever saw…..and you were in it! I thought I was all that;Uncle Larry took me to the locker room to meet you all!!!! Thanks for the great memory! Sincerely, Theresa Huffman Carson

You bet, Joe. Jonas Milton was his name, a local black kid who could skate like the wind and was utterly fearless. He was THE fan favorite of Chiefs fans. Not the best finisher maybe, but no Chief stood up more for his teammates than Jonas. Many fights during those games, I wonder if the players thought it was worth it for so little money. Patrick played defense as I recall, was one of the better players out there. But Jonas was the show. If he’s still around, the Capitals should find an appropriate way of honoring him somehow.

I remember watching the chiefs w/my family. I used to walk around trying to find practice pucks in the stands since there was only a chain backstop and no glass to keep them in the rink. I remember players being checked into the seats and my mom helping them back on the ice! Fun times! Am I remembering correctly or was Jonas a black man? I seem to remember being amazed in that day and age to see him playing (I was only like 9). My one piece of memorabilia – a yellow 1 page program – has disintegrated over the years. If anyone has anything they’d like to sell, or could even send me picts of jerseys or a program, that would be cool to bring back to my family. Thanks for the memories of hockey before the caps! doh88@hotmail.com

I played for the Pittsburgh Knights against Jim Langlois and Bill Pearce. Those were some intense battles.

My dad Jim Langlois played for the Washington Chiefs back in the 70′s. If you had any souvenir of him, let me know.
