Yes, that is Aurele Joliat wearing the baseball cap. That was from the
All-Time team announced during the league's 75th season. They announced the
team before a game, against which team, I can't remember, and each player
took a lap around the ice before lining up at the blueline. Joliat skated
the fastest lap of the six, (two of whom were still active players) but
nobody even thought to move the carpet away from the boards and Jolait
couldn't jump over the rug, but he got up as quickly as he fell and finished
his lap. Pretty damn good for a guy in his late 70's or early 80s at the
time. He was a regular skater all his life.
