30. During my third-year of university—while getting into the late rounds of our annual playoff pool—one of the guys picked Jock Callander, a 31-year-old forward who had 112 points for Muskegon in the old International Hockey League.

We thought he was insane. He said he read somewhere the Penguins might use him, so why not take a chance? Callander was indeed called up, and he grabbed four points in 12 games as the Penguins retained the Stanley Cup. The guy who picked him won the pool (by two points, I think).

The rest of us swore about Callander for years, but he had a real good career, playing almost two decades. It was nice to finally meet him this past Sunday while he was working for Colorado’s AHL team (Lake Erie) in Toronto.
