With a world record, but no Citizen Sheild, the team decided to call it a season, and turned down their opportunity to play in the Stewart Cup, the battle for Lanark County supremacy. At the end of a magical season, the team’s only prize was a set of caps donated by the local haberdasher, Jack Lach.

It must have been something in the air that year, because the following year was a flop. Coach Reaume was no longer with the team, and several of the regular players left as well. By mid-February, the season was over for Almonte.
There are always stories of success in a town with a history as rich as Almonte, but none can match the awe inspiring stories of Almonte’s 1930-1931 hockey team.
