What is recorded here
Bunny Ahearne was born in Kinnagh, County Wexford, in 1900, the quiet Irish starting point for a life that would reshape global ice hockey without him ever skating a single shift. He spent decades in England as a travel agent and administrator, using paperwork, patience and shrewd recruitment to build Britain into a world championship force. The boy from Wexford became the unseen hand behind international hockey, proving that leadership can be just as powerful as speed on the ice.
