Speed skating

It would seem Silk was a notable speedskater after his icehockey career. Does anyone know more? See 1988 World_Allround_Speed_Skating_Championships_for_Men. Same person? Divad (talk) 16:01, 10 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Early life

moved from article to talk (needs references and not necessarily significant) RJFJR (talk) 16:31, 19 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Silk's father died when he was 8. He credits Ed Taylor—the maintainer of the local ice arena in Hingham, Massachusetts, near where he grew up—as a particular influence on his career.^{[citation needed]} Taylor would pick up and drop him off after practices daily (Carroll). According to Silk “he became my surrogate father. My mother knew he’d take care of me, without him I’m not sure I would have ever even tried hockey”. After playing in the Youth leagues for many years Silk realized he had to play at a higher level of hockey if he wanted to make his dreams come true. Silk's Grandfather was Hal Janvrin(d.62) who played Major League Baseball for ten seasons from 1910 to 1922 winning two World Series with the Boston Red Sox and was an early teammate of Babe Ruth.
