    Description

    After winning their first Allan Cup in 1957, the Dunlops
    earned them the right to represent Canada at the the 1958 World Hockey Championships i
    n Oslo, Norway
    , and won the Championship.
    Notable members of the team were
    former Toronto Maple Leafs
    captain Sid Smith
    and former Boston Bruin
    P
    resident
    Harry Sinden, captain of the 1958 Dunlops. Smith was a playing coach.
    To get to Oslo, the Dunlops took a ship across the Atlantic because team manager Wren Blair was afraid of flying. Pplayers were sick for days because of rough waters but played a 14-game exhibition tour of Europe before the World Championships.
    Canada had lost at the 1956 Olympics and boycotted the 1957
    World Hockey Championships
    because the Soviets had invaded Hungary.
