    I recall there being a Loic and a Jules Therien. I think father and son.

    Montreal in very early 60s.

      Loic was expert strength in the 1970s when he stopped playing and got involved in pottery and ceramics. He is the son of Jules Therien...several times Quebec City champion in the 50s.
