Canada's Great Export - Les Anning


Born in Rimouski, Quebec, Les Anning was a star junior player and spent some time in senior hockey leagues in Montreal and Shawinigan Falls in his native province. Take a trip across the pond and the name Les Anning is legendary. Anning scored goals in bunches for Earl's Court Rangers, Wembley Monarchs and Wembley Lions while playing in England. Anning also spent some time in Scotland with the Ayr Raiders. Nicknamed the "Rimouski Rocket", Anning also travelled across Europe playing in Switzerland and Sweden.
Now living outside Barrie, Ontario, Anning was an All-Star wherever he played and more importantly taught the Canadian Game of hockey to those willing to learn in Europe.
