Description

This a 8 1/2x11 B&W photo of former Johnstown Jet winger Dick Roberge who spent the majority of his career with the Johnstown Jets, joining the team at the start of the 1954-55 IHL season. He stayed with the Jets until the completion of the 1955-56 season where he would lead the league in goals scored (64) and points (118) before spending a season with the New Westminster Royals of the Western Hockey League. After playing three games with the Royals, Roberge returned to the Jets for the 1957-58 season. Roberge would lead the Jets with 37 goals but finished second in EHL scoring that season, finishing only one point behind linemate Don Hall and nine points behind Ken Coombes. With the exception of a one-game call-up with the Pittsburgh Hornets during the 1962-63 season, Roberge remained with the Jets until his retirement after the 1971-72 EHL season. Roberge would finish his career with 1232 minor league games played, which is currently the 9th highest all-time total. Despite being born in Canada, Roberge spent a season on the U.S. National Team in 1965-66. He holds the record for most minor-league goals scored with 752.
