Elaine (Silzer) Kelln Athlete: Softball  Elaine Silzer was a star pitcher for the Luther College team that won city championships from 1947 to 1949. In 1950, she was selected most valuable player for Legion of the Girls Intercity Softball League, after winning 11 games – including tossing a 27-batter, no-hitter as a pitcher and hitting 313 while also playing outfield. Her pitching helped the Legion win city and provincial championships. In 1951, Elaine turned pro when she joined the Parichy Bloomer Girls of the National Girls Baseball League in Forest Park, Illinois. Unfortunately, knee surgery ended her pro career and in 1952 she returned to the Legion where she pitched another no-hitter, facing 28 batters. In 1953, the Legion won the Western Canadian championship and qualified for the world women’s softball championship in Toronto, where Elaine faced 30 batters while throwing a no-hitter. She continued playing softball until 1958. In 1972, she turned to coaching and worked with a number of teams including the Co-operators of the Rambler Park Men’s Softball League and the SGI team that she coached to a women’s city championship in 1981. In the 1990’s she became an umpire. Today, Elaine serves as a volunteer for the local gymnastics association, is a Food Bank agent for Mount Olive Lutheran Church and still maintains her love for the sport of softball. Doug Wickenheiser Athlete: Hockey  Doug’s hockey career, which spanned 21 years, began in 1969, when he began playing as an 8 year old in Regina’s minor hockey programs. Doug established himself as a high-scoring player early, when in his 1972-73 season with the Earlybirds, he scored a record-setting 100 goals. As a midget with the Pat Canadians, he again was high scorer and received the Ernie Hicke Trophy for his accomplishment. In 1977, Doug joined the Regina Pats and in his final year with the team had 89 goals and 170 points in 71 games, claiming the WCHL scoring championship, helping the Pats win the league title and advancing to the Memorial Cup in Regina. That year he was selected the outstanding player in Canadian junior hockey. In June 1980, Doug was the first overall draft choice of the NHL’s Montreal Canadiens. During his NHL career, he played for Montreal, the St. Louis Blues, the Vancouver Canucks, the New York Rangers and the Washington Capitals. During his 556 regular season games, he scored 111 goals and made 165 assists. He also played in the International Hockey League, the American Hockey League, for Canada’s National Team, and professionally in Italy, Germany and Austria. Doug made his mark in St. Louis not only as a player but also as a representative of the St. Louis Blues hockey team in establishing the Gateway Hockey School. After his NHL career was over, Doug returned to St. Louis with his wife Dianna. In 1997, when he was diagnosed with inoperable cancer, the St. Louis Blues helped raise money to finance his treatments. Doug directed that money to assist children facing expenses for their cancer treatments. After Doug’s death in 1999, the Blues established the Fourteen Fund (Doug’s number while playing for the Blues) as their charitable trust. The fund is recognized with a flag that adorns the team’s arena. In March 1999, the Regina Pats retired Doug’s jersey – number 12. The Western Hockey League annually recognizes a player for contributing to his community with the Doug Wickenheiser Memorial Trophy and the City of Regina has named an indoor rink in his honour. Jean (DeWitt) Owen and Joan (DeWitt) Moors Team: Figure Skating  Jean and Joan DeWitt learned to skate on Wascana Lake at the age of five. They developed their skills at the Wascana Winter Club and were the Club’s pair champions from 1943-48 as well as being Western Canadian Pair Champions from 1947 to ’49.

In 1949, the DeWitt Twins turned professional. As professionals, they performed in skating shows starring two former Olympic champions, Canada’s Barbara Ann Scott and Norway’s Sonja Henie. Both shows traveled extensively throughout the United States, with the Sonja Henie Ice Review spending two months in Havana, Cuba, before closing in 1953. They also toured state fairs in New York, Iowa, Mississippi, Wisconsin and Illinois, with a summer show called, and “Holiday on Ice – Ice Varieties”. In 1954, the pair disbanded. Both women had become professional skating instructors in 1951, teaching at clubs in Moose Jaw and Swift Current when time permitted. After 1954, Jean continued as an instructor in Eastern Canada, before returning to the Wascana Winter Club.
