this is really old school....
my pops played professional in the day...yep he was @ camp with Bobby Orr....Mr Cherry was his coach to pull him up!...a few ys ago Don was on his radio show and said that dad was one of the hardest hitter/checkers he had seen..In the vid above they have the old chain link around the ice, I have pics of a guy dad nailed, flipped him upside down, and the fella got hooked up in the fence with his blades, couldn't reach the ice to get himself down..priceless pic!
melroses mullet? I think MOST hockey players if not ALL have sported the mullet, some are just afraid to let it go!
Dad played pro? That is so cool! I love hearing stories about those old timers. If Grapes said he was such a hard hitter - that is really saying something.
I basically played in high school and was a mediocre player. My coach was a goalie before goalies wore masks. He had 2 teeth left in his mouth. I just do it for fun and exercise now. It is such a great sport to play. I am getting my son into it now - he does MiniMite hockey and is having a blast.
I never heard that song before. Really old school in the clip with the tube skates, some players look like they had no curve on the stick blade (all wood sticks too), no helmets, goalies with their "Jason" masks, etc..
Anyone ever hear Warren Zevon's Hockey Song? I have it on my Ipod. Here is a link:
