Frank Gervais
Frank Gervais Engineering’58, was on the "Saints" team of 1956 that completed an undefeated season in the fledgling Nova Scotia Junior Football League, swept the Maritimes, and went on to become the first east coast team to engage in a national playoff. They blazed the trail for all the Saint Mary's football greatness that would follow. On the occasion of the 60th anniversary of that great win, Frank had the ‘56 trophy resurrected from the catacombs of St Patrick's, restored, and displayed for all to see. Go Huskies Go!
