I'm doing a hockey display in our school Library and would like to put something up for Ms. Lapensee — and it would be nice to put an end to the sex change/Albert Smyth gas station story. Lynda Baril's excellent new book - Nos Glorieuses - concludes that Albertine's life after hockey is a mystery - but also includes the sex change piece that supposedly originated with a Montreal journalist. I guess there is a chance that she did have the operation much later in life.<br /><br />It would be great if you could post more about this aspect of our hockey history.

Albertine did not become Albert Smythe of Long Sault, Ontario, she married a man by the same name in New York City, hence the confusion. She later remarried and moved to Boston. There was never a shred of truth the rumours that she was or became a man. As for her proficiency at the game, it is best explained that few women played at the time, but with Albertine having played for years with her brothers out on Lennox St, she was well ahead of her competition.Robert Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16631806704699552307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5628605086419029877.post-18107736492481736562011-12-31T01:40:48.790-08:002011-12-31T01:40:48.790-08:00Sex change in 1918 from female to male, somehow I...Sex change in 1918 from female to male, somehow I don't think so??Chibastudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02812916356367507416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5628605086419029877.post-48750778980690611502010-07-02T08:52:10.930-07:002010-07-02T08:52:10.930-07:00hey louwen or anyone who know him/her...
