HOUGHTON — Join the Carnegie Museum of the Keweenaw on Tuesday, Oct. 27 from 7 to 8 p.m. for “The Spanish Flu . . . and Hockey,” a Zoom presentation by Bill Sproule.

In this live-stream Zoom presentation, Dr. Sproule will discuss the 1918 Flu Pandemic, and hockey — why it was called the Spanish Flu, the three waves, and its impact on sports: The 1919 Stanley Cup playoffs were cancelled before the deciding game of the final series and one player, Joe Hall, who had played for Portage Lake earlier in his career, died. There are many fascinating stories and it is interesting to see the similarities to today’s pandemic.
