Canadian-born John Kaminsky was a scoring ace at Mt. Angel College back when it was a college. (After the 1946-47 school year, the college reverted to being solely a monastery for Benedictine monks.) Kaminsky appeared in one game for the Salem Trailblazers of the Pacific Coast League, scoring no points in limited action against Yakima on January 11, 1947.

Was wondering if you knew when Kaminsky left Alberta at what age. He came back from 1943-45 and played for the Royal Canadian Air Force basketball team based in Edmonton Alberta
ReplyDeleteMy assumption is he left Alberta to go to college. Looks like he stayed in the Pacific Northwest of the US after the war.
