Red Storey

Born in Barrie, Ontario, Storey was working in a rail yard when he received an offer to play football with the Toronto Argonauts.

During the 1938 Grey Cup game, Storey scored three touchdowns in twelve minutes versus Winnipeg,[1] all in the fourth quarter, to give the Argos the victory.

After his performance, he received offers from the New York Giants and the Chicago Bears of the National Football League but declined to leave Canada.

Storey was also a prominent senior men's baseball player and received an offer from the Philadelphia Athletics of the American League.

Chicago fans nearly rioted, and Black Hawks coach Rudy Pilous accused Storey of choking by not calling penalties against the Canadiens late in the game.

Following his retirement from the NHL, Storey remained active in oldtimers' games, worked as a TV commentator, and was a popular raconteur.
