Plenty of Talent for Terry TALENTino

Terry Talentino was born in Sault Ste. Marie and grew up in Timmins - the same hometown of Toronto Maple Leafs great Tim Horton. Talentino played Junior "A" for the Brantford Lions of the OHA. From there it was off to RCAF Service teams before catching what appeared to be his big break - a tryout with the Detroit Red Wings. Any shot of making the Wings was cut short by a broken ankle.
Next Talentino played for the San Francisco Shamrocks of the PCHL. Fifteen years of senior hockey was next on the agenda, playing on various teams throughout Northern Ontario. The North Bay Sports Hall of Fame Inductee retired in 1961 with 260 goals and 480 points, a record that still stands today.
The current North Bay resident worked as Managing Director of the North Bay ice rinks for 23 years. Talentino also spent many years as an executive for the NOHA, OHA and CAHA.
