Andy was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba on October 3, 1929. After playing Junior Hockey in his hometown, he made his professional debut in 1949 with the Cincinnati Mohawks of the American Hockey League. The next season, he came to Victoria to play for the Cougars and was part of the “kid line” with Reg Abbott and Bob Frampton. Andy was a key contributor to the team’s success, scoring spectacular goals and helping the Cougars bring home a League Championship. He continued to live in Victoria and in the off-season got married and worked for a cement contractor to keep in shape.

Andy played four more seasons with the Cougars and in 1955-56, signed with the New York Rangers. He played eight seasons with the Rangers and was then claimed by the Boston Bruins on the waiver wire. Following his time with Boston. Andy returned to the west coast in 1964-65 and played for the Portland Buckaroos of the Western Hockey League. Victoria was the next stop on his hockey journey, where he played on the team’s top line with Milan Marcetta and Bob Barlow. Together they formed one of the most potent scoring lines in the league and accumulated a total of 101 goals and 138 assists for a total of 239 points. Their efforts led the team to its only championship by defeating the first-place Portland Buckaroos in a classic seven-game series that could have gone either way. After the 1966-67 season, the Leafs were sold, and Andy returned to Portland where he played for eight more seasons. He ended his professional career with the Seattle Totems of the Central Hockey League and two years for a semi-pro team in Portland.

In addition to his scoring ability, Andy was known for his gentlemanly play and durability. He won the NHL’s Lady Byng Player Award and was the runner-up on another occasion. In the WHL, he won the Fred J. Hume Cup for the most gentlemanly player a total of six times. In his 26 seasons of professional hockey, Andy played in 1931 games, one of the highest totals ever, scoring 695 goals and 820 assists, for a total of 1515 points; 525 of those games were played with Victoria for the Cougars and Maple Leafs. His streak of consecutive games was remarkable. Although the NHL does not include records from other leagues or playoff games in its statistics, Andy played an estimated 1,563 consecutive games. On November 30, 1966, he was honoured during a game in Victoria which he attended with his family.

Andy won two Championships with Victoria: one with the Cougars in 1951-52 and the second with the Maple Leafs in 1965-66. Andy was truly a unique player. His career and longevity in the game may never be seen again due to the gruelling schedule and more physical game that is played today.

Born in Victoria in 1952, James (Jim) Cain grew up in James Bay playing all the sports that his mother could afford. A Little League Baseball catcher, he was also a "Bat Boy" at Royal Athletic Park.

In 1961, Jim was introduced to men's Hockey by his mentor, Art "Pop" Green Sr. Jim was a stick boy in the Commercial Hockey League at Memorial Arena where he taped sticks, filled water bottles and observed Art treat injuries and develop special relationships with the players. He took on equipment duties and at age 25, became Head Trainer for the Esquimalt Maple Leafs. Around this time, Jim was introduced to Sports Therapist Wes Byrnell (GVSHOF inductee 2000), who also mentored him in taping techniques and treating injuries. Jim complemented his practical skills by taking sports medicine courses and earning a Leadership Degree at Camosun College. He became Head Trainer for the London Boxing Club and Victoria Athletics Soccer team, and also coached Special Olympics swimming.

Jim is best known for his many years of service with the Victoria Shamrocks Lacrosse team. In 1978, Bill Munroe (Head Coach) and Art Webster asked him to be an Assistant Trainer. Jim worked alongside Wes Byrnell and Denny Morris and in 1982, was named Head Trainer. Jim spent 37 years as the Head Trainer and, according to former player and Head Coach Walt Christianson, “his commitment to the team was second to none." Jim was a vital part of 15 teams that represented Victoria at the Mann Cup National Championships, winning seven titles.

Jim cared deeply about players health and safety. He helped the players prepare mentally and physically for each game and was responsible for treating injuries, ensuring equipment was repaired, water bottles were sanitized and uniforms were washed for the next game. "Jimbo" is affectionately remembered and loved by hundreds of players and team personnel who worked with him over the years.

In recognition of his achievement and service to the club, the Shamrocks enshrined a plaque in his honour on their Wall of Fame. The team also proudly supported Jim's 2017 induction into the Canadian Lacrosse Hall of Fame. Of special note, he is the only Trainer to be inducted to the Canadian Lacrosse Hall of Fame. Chris Welch (Shamrock GM and Governor) stated: "Cain was always there for the team, putting the team first and always representing what it means to be a Shamrock.”

Over the years, Jim has crossed paths with many players who have benefitted from his contributions. He was Head Trainer for the Canadian National men’s team (1994 World Field Lacrosse Championships Silver), Victoria Seaspray Field Lacrosse team (two-time Canadian Champions) and Calgary and Minnesota of the National Lacrosse League. "Daddy" Cain has also taken the time to help with his daughter's school teams and supported Special Olympics as a trainer and coach.

Jim is truly deserving of his place in the Greater Victoria Sports Hall of Fame.
