RIP. Just did a little reading and found out an interesting tidbit about him and teammate Bob Bourne. Before they were teammates on Long Island for 12 years from 1974-1986, they were teammates for the 1972 Covington (Virginia) Astros, a professional BASEBALL affiliate of the Houston Astros. That is absolutely wild. Two young guys from Saskatchewan end up playing professional baseball in the US South as teenagers, then end up winning 4 Stanley Cups together.
