Early Life
Zamick was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba. He was one of 10 surviving children (of 13) born to Jewish parents originally from Russia. The children often went by the nickname "Chick", in reference to the number of pieces in a pack of Chiclets brand chewing gum (10). This nickname stuck to Victor. He began playing ice hockey at the age of 15 and would play for the Cleveland Barons in the American Hockey League and St Catherine Teepees in the Ontario Hockey Association before his move to Europe.

Famous quotes related to early life:
“... business training in early life should not be regarded solely as insurance against destitution in the case of an emergency. For from business experience women can gain, too, knowledge of the world and of human beings, which should be of immeasurable value to their marriage careers. Self-discipline, co-operation, adaptability, efficiency, economic management,—if she learns these in her business life she is liable for many less heartbreaks and disappointments in her married life.”
—Hortense Odlum (1892–?)
