Crazy Canucks

  • CA-CC001
  • Person
  • fl. 1970s-1980s

The Crazy Canucks was the nickname for a group of World Cup alpine ski racers from Canada who rose to prominence in the 1970s and 1980s. "Jungle" Jim Hunter, Dave Irwin, Dave Murray, Steve Podborski, and Ken Read earned themselves a reputation for fast and seemingly reckless skiing in the downhill event. These five men earned their title "Crazy Canucks" from ski journalist and World Cup co-founder Serge Lange, who after watching their different styles, came up with the name that caught on with sports journalists throughout the skiing world. These five men were at the top of their game and better known in Europe than in North America. Once they hit the European hills, they consistently challenged the Europeans on the World Cup circuit at a level previously unseen. One of the Crazy Canucks, Dave Murray of Whistler, BC, died of skin cancer in 1990 at age 37. The downhill course at Whistler Creekside, utilized for World Cup and 2010 Olympic races, was named for him as the "Dave Murray Downhill" run. In 2006, it was announced that the Crazy Canucks would receive stars on Canada's Walk of Fame, inducted as one group.
