EVERY ONCE IN A GREAT WHILE,
THERE COMES AN ATHELETE 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!
