Legend of Hockey :: Tom Courtney

Every once in a great while there comes an athlete
who is so dynamic, so strong, so impressive, so consistant that he becomes:

“A Legend of Hockey”


	From his humble beginnings in Detroit:


	He became a powerful and inspiring force to be reckoned with, on and off the ice! Young, handsome and tough he cut quite a figure and was a very popular fellow.




	After serving his country in Vietnam he came to California where he soon made his mark and it was clear he was not to be taken lightly!




		Time and again he was challenged and time and again people would say "You should see the other guy"

He won award after award, trophy after trophy, including the coveted "Fur Jockstrap" awarded on his 50th birthday.

He earned the scoring nickname "THE SNIPER" for all the goals scored with his blazing and accurate wrist shot in front of the net. Not to mention a wicked backhand which put the biscuit in the basket more than once.

He was, and still is, every goalies nightmare!
