Harry Smith, Team Canada

[Triffy]

Harry Smith was named an all-star three years in a row (1961-1963) in World Championships (source). Does anyone know who this guy was/is? Is he still alive? He was never a top 5 scorer as far as I know. And never named as the best defenseman of the tournament. But he participated in three tournaments (source) and was named an all-star every time.

I guess this is the guy. But that's incomplete.

Any info would be appreciated.

Well, this part goes without saying, he's not to be confused with Harry Smith, cup winning scoring star with a temper, born in 1883 and star of the AA10 draft.

Harry is a great guy, I just fixed his computer and dropped it off at his house. He has a house here in Hawaii.
