Poster for the 1929-1930 Minneapolis Millers of the AHA We found part of a hockey poster for the Minneapolis Millers on the back of an Andreas Larsen stained glass drawing. The 1929-1930 season was the first coached by Coach Bill “Red” Stuart, who had previously played for the Boston Bruins of the NHL.  The Central Hockey League was created in 1931 and Minneapolis joined it.  Stuart played for Duluth for 1931-1932 and returned to coach the Millers in 1932.  He led them to a 25-13-2 season, losing the league championship to the Eveleth Rangers at the Minneapolis Arena (now the site of the Uptown Rainbow) 2-1 on March 31, 1933.   Coach Stuart was released after the 1932-1933 season, replaced by Stewart Adams, who was also on the 1929-1930 Millers. Coach Stewart Adams led the Millers to a league championship with a 27-11-5 record. The Millers swept Hibbing in the league series. The Millers returned to the American Hockey Association in 1936.

Mystery Window Our hardworking intern Blaine has been processing the Larsen Stained Glass collection of drawings and plans for mostly church windows.  She has identified quite a few.  The window above has been a stumper.  On the back of the window it says, “Catholic Church - St. Paul.”  We’ve contacted the archdiocese but it is clear that these windows are not in the Cathedral. The three men on the window are Father Galtier, Bishop Cretin and Archbishop Ireland.  Father Lucien Galtier founded the first church in St. Paul, which led to it’s name change from “Pig’s Eye Landing” to St. Paul.  Bishop Cretin was the first bishop of St. Paul, MN.  He came from the Dubuque, Iowa diocese that sent Galtier to Minnesota.  Archbishop Ireland brought the St. Paul archdiocese into the 20th Century and founded St. Paul Seminary and the University of St. Thomas. If anybody has an idea of what St. Paul Catholic church this window is from, please email us: specialcoll [at] hclib.org.
