Not really. I didn't know this until today either.
It’s funny...I played hockey for about 15 years, went to dozens of pro games, watched every game for a period of about 10 years, went up to Quebec City to watch the NHL All Stars play the Red Army team, stood for an hour in 20 below zero weather to see the traveling Hall of Fame, and never knew this...what kind of fan AM I?
When we got in, we got Gump Worsley’s autograph, and he looked at us and said “Did you people have to wait long to get in?” When we said it took an hour, he shook his head and said “You people are crazy.”
This from a guy who played pro hockey with no mask!!!
