I have another fact/piece of trivia:

I think it's pretty crazy that there's still a living person who played in the NHL during WWII (and served in WWII).

Steve Wochy played for the Detroit Redwings in 1944. He turns 102 later this year and has been the oldest former NHLer for almost 5 years, since the death of Jim Conacher.

Wochy is the 2nd oldest person ever who played in a major North American sport, after Sam Dana, former NFL player, who lived to be 104.

The NHL YouTube channel released a video about Wochy recalling the 1945 Stanley Cup finals. It's probably one of the best videos that their YouTube channel has ever released - and a nice break from the Oiler nonsense.
