Royal Military College Hockey League Award

The RMC Hockey team was raised in 1886 and was well known for its athletic ability. The team was known as the Paladins and had a long standing rivalry with the Queen's University team. The college was bilingual so its acronym was RMC for English and CMR for French. This particular bullion wire badge is for a French team member and was likely awarded for a victory year for the team in 1896. These badges were worn like the shooting awards on the left arm of the scarlet dress uniform. An interesting badge for those who collect memorabilia from the college. The owners name adorns the back of the badge that is in a well preserved condition.
