Hockey Career
Bauer was the younger brother of hockey player Bobby Bauer. A noted sportsman in his own right, Bauer turned down an offer to play for the Boston Bruins Olympic farm team at the age of 16, so that he could attend St. Michael's College School in Toronto, where he played for various school teams from 1941 to 1945, and later the University of Toronto. In 1944, after St. Michael's was eliminated by the Oshawa Generals in the playoffs, Oshawa was able to add three players to their roster for the 1944 Memorial Cup championship series, and chose Bauer, as well as Ted Lindsay and Gus Mortson. He returned to the St. Michael's Majors for a single game in the 1944–45 campaign, choosing to enlist in the military instead as St. Michael's won the 1945 Memorial Cup championship that spring. Following the end of the war, he decided against playing professional hockey, instead, choosing to enter the priesthood.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“The problem, thus, is not whether or not women are to combine marriage and motherhood with work or career but how they are to do so—concomitantly in a two-role continuous pattern or sequentially in a pattern involving job or career discontinuities.”
—Jessie Bernard (20th century)
