Jarrod Skalde - Athlete - Hockey - 1991 - Present Era, 2012 Sports Wall of Fame Inductee 2012 Sports Wall of Fame Inductee. Jarrod Skalde was born on February 26, 1971 in Niagara Falls Ontario, and was soon seen as an asset in the hockey world. Skalde started his hockey career in 1990 with the Oshawa Generals of the OHL. He was able to taste his first victory by winning the Memorial Cup on May 13, 1990 in front of 17,383 spectators in Copps Coliseum against the Kitchener Rangers in a score of 4-3. As a hockey player, Skalde was part of six different hockey leagues, and part of 25 teams throughout his career. Skalde was first drafted by the New Jersey Devils, in the 1989 NHL draft. He continued to be a part of various leagues such as the OHL, NHL, IHL, AHL, SEL (Swiss Elite League) and the Austrian EBEL (Erste Bank Eishockey Liga). Over the years, Skalde was part of multiple teams, however, the team he returned to three times was the Utah Grizzlies of the IHL. With the Grizzlies, Skalde was the recipient of the Grizzlies Community Man of the Year Award. When asked by coaches or teammates, Skalde was described as a great team mate who could play any position. He was known for being a leader as well as a threat on the ice to the opposition. A highlight of his career was the winning goal scored in 2:56 minutes of overtime for Anaheim, beating Curtis Joseph in front of 17,000 fans to down the St. Louis Blues 2-1. Skalde retired from the game of hockey with 301 goals, 507 assists and 1,023 games. He then decided to get into the world of coaching and was offered the Director of Hockey Operations and Head Coach position for the Prairie Thunder. In August 2010, after two seasons, Skalde stepped down as Director and Head Coach of Bloomington to take over the position of Head Coach in Cincinnati with the Cyclones of the East Coast Hockey League. -
Wintergreen Flats from "Our Romantic Niagara" by A.H. Tiplin When the falls reached the point called Cripps Eddy, the level of Lake Iroquois fell 30.5 metres (100 feet) when a further tilting of the land at its outlet allowed the water to rush out via the St. Lawrence channel. A second falls then began at Lewiston-Queenston, and having less resistance rock to erode, soon eroded back to the Glen. Wilson Terrace was the crest of this falls. -
Fall of Table Rock from "Our Romantic Niagara" by A.H. Tiplin On January 19, 1887, the Niagara Falls Gazette reported; " Wednesday night last a large section of rock on the Canadian side, close to the Horseshoe Fall, fell with a deafening crash and jarring the earth for some distance away. The exact position of the break, which was 150 feet (46 metres) long and 60 feet (18 metres) wide, was the point visitors will recall. It was close to the Horseshoe falls and protected by an iron railing. So little remains of the once famous Table Rock that it can hardly retain its name. It originally extended out so far that a person on the edge stood directly in front of a portion of the Horseshoe Falls. In 1818 a mass 160 feet (49 metres) by 30 or 40 feet (9 to 12 metres) in width fell. In the winter of 1828 and 1829 several large masses fell leaving the table-shaped ledge without support on the North and South sides. About mid-day on June 26th, 1850, this table fell with a terrible crash which startled inhabitants in the vicinity, the first impression being that an earthquake had occurred. It is said that a solitary stableman who was washing an omnibus on the rock escaped with his life, the vehicle, of which no traces were ever found, falling into the abyss. In 1862, several pieces of rock were blasted off as a prevention of accident." In 1897 other pieces broke off, leaving Table Rock as only a slight projection. Finally in 1935 what was left of the overhang was blasted off as a safety precaution. Table Rock remains today in name only. -
