Canadian Horseshoe Pitchers Yearbook

The Dominion of Canada Horseshoe Pitchers Association first published a Yearbook in June-July 1931, covering the 1930 horseshoe season. It also contained the official rules and some general information (player and volunteer profiles). A reproduction of that rare and informative publication is available on this website.

A few newsletters were published after that but the next Yearbook was to be an initiative of Edward H. Murray. Covering the 1976 season, the book was printed in the winter/spring of 1977. Ed Murray was to be the Editor of the Yearbook until 1986 when he transfered the copyright to Horseshoe Canada. Sharon Ellison was then Editor from 1986-87 to 1990-91, followed by Andre Leclerc who is still the current Editor (Bob Davidson was Editor for 1998-99).

The work initiated by Ed Murray was to become a huge factor in the development of Horseshoe Canada. The Yearbook being one of best way to communicate the information and re-unite the provinces. The Yearbooks are great collector’s items, containing many pictures (lots of action shots), tournament results, profiles, etc…
