Staff Sergeant Edgar Montigny


Edgar Montigny took a tour of the east coast in the the late 1940's and early 1950's. Playing in the old Eastern Hockey League, Montigny played for the Atlantic City Seagulls, Boston Olympics, New York Rovers and the Johnstown Jets. There were other stops as well. Towns like Windsor, St. Paul , Fort Wayne and Grand Rapids. Montigny never stayed in one town too long.
After his playing days had come to an end, Montigny headed back to Canada and landed a job working in the mines in Timmins, Ontario. Working underground did not appeal to him so Montigny joined the Police Department. He worked for the department for 30 years and retired as a Staff Sergeant. Most of his days on the force included investigations, photography and fingerprinting. After retiring in 1987, Montigny moved out west to Salmon Arm and has been there ever since.
