it is important to maintain a high profile
for the team of second generation
Icelandic immigrants which won
Canada's first-ever gold. "Utah is home
to the first wave of Icelandic settlers to
North America. Utahns of Icelandic
descent remain active and positively
effervescent in their support of all
things Icelandic," he says.
And it's not just Utahns who are ral-
lying to support the Falcons Forever
Campaign. Ron Goodman, nephew of
Falcons' right wing Mike Goodman,
says he was shocked by the Canadian
Hockey Association's disregaid for his-
tory when it named the Toronto
Granites as Canada's first Olympic win-
ner. "It's an injustice. They are not fol-
lowing the historical data that is in
every Olympic document," says
Goodman, a group publisher for
Roger's Communications in Toronto.
Goodman surmises that it all comes
down to money. "If Team Canada wins
gold, their jerseys will be replicated for
sale. Whoever owns the rights to the
Granite's logo stands to make a lot of
money from licensing agreements," he
says.
Lloyd Penwarden, a hockey history
buff who has written two books about
the Falcons, says the eastern establish-
ment wants all the glory and all the
money for itself.
"It's impossible for the CHA not to
have known about the Falcons because
so much has been written about the
team. Either the CHA's research depart-
ment is completely inept or someone is
deliberately ignoring the facts," says
Penwarden, who grew up in Selkirk and
now lives in Kingston, Ontario.
Dan Johnson, president of the UIA,
accepting tax-deductible donations on
behalf of the Falcons' Forever cam-
paign, says he is still requésting dona-
lions. "We have raised enough money
to take the exhibit to Salt Lake City,"
says Johnson, "but this is an ongoing
project. We want the exhibit to have a
permanent home in Manitoba, yet to be
sufficiently mobile so that schools,
clubs and other organizations interested
in Canadian history can utilize it as an
educational tool. To accomplish this,
we will require continued commitment
from the Icelandic community."
At a Falcons Forever press confer-
ence hosted by City of Winnipeg coun-
cillor Garth Steek in early February,
Johnson said the "United Icelandic
Appeal recognizes the Utah Olympics
as an opportunity to celebrate, support
and promote Icelandic culture in North
America."
