Sir: While it's fair of Adam Szreter (28 October) to say that war halted the progress of Britain's ice hockey team, it is also fair to point out that the only member of the team which won gold at the 1936 Olympics who was not a Canadian dual national was the manager, Bunny Ahearne.

The Superleague and London Knghts are taking some giant steps forward for British hockey, but as far as the playing rosters go, it's plus ca change, as they say in Montreal.
