All hockey players are bilingual. They know English and profanity.

I helped put in a rink in Cadillac, Michigan, when my wife was very healthy. She helped them put it in and the rink is going full-bore the last time I was there.

To me, hockey was always tremendous fun. That's what kept me going for so long. I simply love to play hockey.

Overall I can fairly safely say Bobby Orr impressed me more than anybody with his tremendous talents. In Bobby's first N.H.L. game he layed the lumber to Gordie's head. Later Howe retalliated and wanted to let the kid know he wasn't washed up yet.

My mother and dad played the fiddle and the guitar.

The first time I met Wayne Gretzky... he never said anything back.

You've got to love what you're doing. If you love it, you can overcome any handicap, or the soreness, or all the aches and pains and continue to play for a long, long time.
