- Winnipeg songwriter John K. Samson has been steadily gathering support to get the great First Nations NHL star from Riverton, Manitoba, Reggie "The Riverton Rifle" Leach into the Hockey Hall of Fame.
His song, www.ipetitions.com/petition/rivertonrifle/, written in the form of an online petition, has collected thousands of signatures from people around the world.
On Saturday, February 23rd, 2013, Samson and a choir of his comrades climbed the steps of the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto to perform the song for the last time.
They sang and marched en masse into the Hall, and as the final refrain reverberated Samson delivered a bona-fide submission putting forth Reggie Joseph Leach as a candidate eligible for election into honoured membership in the Hockey Hall of Fame.
We, The Undersigned, a short film by Tim Thompson, documents the extraordinary day.
i was never interested in ice hockey, but I also was never interested in indie rock. I was a punk kid and I just listened to the Weakerthans because John played in Propagandhi before. Now I´m sitting here in front of my computer, cheering for Reggie Leach, we are all connected.
Same here. 🙂
I met Reggie around 1975. My team played his son's Jamie in Chery Hill NJ. He came to our locker room and gave us a little pep talk and signed autographs - really cool. God bless Reggie!
the forces that move history, are the same that move the human heart
John looks so happy here
I was thinking of this song while I was at the Hall of Fame last week. Next time I am there it would be great to stand in front of Reggie's jersey. Well done John.
That HHOF employee with the walky: "We've got an unruly mob of hipsers and they look hostile" "Please. Send. Backup." What a dildo. Great song, sir.
John K. Sampson should be the Lieutenant Governor of Manitoba.
This is beautiful and absolutely inspiring.
Beautiful.
And that's how you do it folks.
This is sooo good!
Is that Del Barber standing there too?
Beauty! Way to go JKS!
