You nailed it, Delvecchio. Thanks. I did meet The Rocket, saw him at the Forum, my hair straight-up every time he crossed the blue line.
Met the Pocket, Yvon Cournoyer, Davie Keon and got to know Eddie Shack quite well. That's as close as I come to that era.
Played high school hockey with Brian Engblom of the Habs. He was pretty good but I never imagined he's have a career in the NHL. Late bloomer. Hard worker.
Saw the Chicago Bulls of the Jordan era play a couple times. Dennis Rodman was a classic grinder....man he worked hard.
