Famous People From Welland
Albert Leroy Ellsworth - Founder of the British American Oil Company ( now part of Gulf Oil )
Paul Beeston - Former president of Major League Baseball and former president of the Toronto Blue Jays.
Jerry King - International news correspondant; he has appeared on World News Tonight With Peter Jennings, Nightline, 20/20, Good Morning America and other network news programmes
Daniel Paille - Buffalo Sabres Hockey Player (NHL)
Daniel Girardi - New York Rangers Hockey Player (NHL)
Matt Ellis - Dertoit Red Wings Hockey Player (NHL)
Chris Haney- Co-inventor of "Trivial Pursuit" board game
Ken Breitenbach- Former Buffalo Sabres Hockey Player (NHL)
Wilma van den Bosch - Dutch-Canadian cartoonist
Mike Smrek - Former NBA player ( Chicago, Los Angeles, San Antonio & Golden State )
Bill Welychka - News Anchor
Brian Daboll - Assistant coach, New England Patriots
Simon Gatti - Soccer player
Wayne Groulx - Former NHL/Austrian league Hockey player

It took me 2 hours of research to make up this list....Youre probably saying, "Thats the list I saw on Wikipedia", well, it is, I wrote the list, and submitted it to Wiki!

( Except Daniel Paille...that was already there, and Simon Gatti whom ive never heard of )

While not all the names would be household words ( unless youre a real avid hockey fan ), you have to admit having one of the creators of trivial Pursuits and a man who founded an international oil company is pretty impressive for a city of just 50,000, not to mention Paul Beeston, on the baseball side, and Mike Smrek for basketball!
