from Greatest Hockey Legends,
This is Bob Carse. He was a promising hockey player out of Edmonton by winter, a gas station manager by summer.
He never fulfilled his NHL hockey promise because of World War II. He was one of the first professional hockey players to enroll in basic military training. He was quickly identified as a promising rifleman, and by August 1944 he was pulled off the ice and sent overseas, one of the few NHLers to see dangerous warfare action on the fields of Europe.
Dangerous indeed. In October his wife received a a telegram dated October 12th, 1944 stating that Carse’s status was officially listed as Missing In Action.
