From a World Championship victory with the 1958 Whitby Dunlops to an Ontario Hockey Association title with the 1966 Oshawa Generals, Wren was a successful manager at virtually every level of hockey. The Dunlops also won the Allan Cup, Canada's senior hockey championship, in the 1958-59 season. After the World Championship win in 1958, accomplished by beating the USSR 4-2, Blair went to the professional ranks. As farm club director of the Boston Bruins, Wren signed Bobby Orr for the Oshawa Generals, then a farm club of Boston. Blair, who had re-organized junior hockey in Oshawa after a fire claimed the Oshawa Arena, joined the Generals as general manager in 1962. Wren, who was born in Lindsay but came to Oshawa as a boy, left to become general manager and coach of the NHL expansion club Minnesota North Stars and was with the Stars until 1974.
