Note: This account seems to vary from other research groups. I believe this one to be true.

Born in 1905 in Poland, Gershon Skurnick's family came to the United States in 1907. Skurnick took to athletics, and while at Commerce HS in New York City, lead the school to the PSAL Championship. He went to the Savage School of Physical Education, and headed west to Ohio where he joined up with the Cleveland Rosenblums of the ABL. He eventually found himself sold to George Halas' Chicago Bruins and made Chicago his home. He worked at many youth camps in Chicagoland such as the Deborah Boys Club and the Boys Brotherhood Republic. He died in Los Angeles in 1980.
