Today I can enjoy a fantastic visual feast and I don't know how many of you suffered through a Howie Meeker colour commentary but there were times when I think he was legendary in his abrasiveness.


I had a 'Howie Meeker Hockey School' t-shirt when I was a kid. It was the first hockey shirt I ever got. In spring I used to play shinny wearing that with nothing over it.

I was ####ing freezing, but didn't care, until my Mom would see me and go nuts.
