Guest   #2 Posted July 10, 2006 Hello sweetdexter .  Yes, I'd heard of him before, though I must admit to not knowing a great deal about the NHL. I think he said that knitting helped him to relax, and that he was known for wearing garments which he'd made himself.  I remember reading that he was one of the first players to popularize wearing hockey masks too. An eminently sensible bloke then .  There's more information about him here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
