Just a terribly sad day. Lot's of Johnny memories. One I won't forget. I used to work at Winsport. Flames had summer ice usually every weekday morning. It was usually a mix of a few veterans who stayed in Calgary during the summer, some AHL players and call them up and comers. It was Stampede time and this one morning there was a definite buzz around from the players attending. They were super excited to the point of being giddy. I asked Benny what's going on today. All Benny said was "Johnny's supposed to be here today". Johnny did arrive and I couldn't believe the respect he was given by all the players. RIP.
