Biography
Lamy first came into prominence on the speed skating scene during the 1907–1908 winter, and was seen as a worthy successor of the former amateur speed skater Morris Wood who turned professional in 1908.[2] In 1909, aged 18, "the Saranac Lake whirlwind", as he was nicknamed, had already taken over the reign as amateur skating champion.[3]
After Lamy turned professional him and Morris Wood would race against each other in the pro ranks.[4]
