Thockey17 1 Report post Posted June 20, 2006 Chris Chelios grew up in my town. When Detroit won the cup in 02 Chelios brought the Stanley Cup to our village hall to sign autographs and take pictures with fans. When he did that, i was chillin' at his crib with the rest of his family. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kovey10 0 Report post Posted June 20, 2006 My dad played on Brett Hulls team way back when in squirts I think. My grandparents owned a bar and Bobby Hull had his 19th birthday party there too and he got pretty wasted and my grandmother put him to sleep on a cot they had upstairs. I talked to Bobby a few months ago and asked him about it and he still remembers that night pretty cool I guess. Yea nobody from my hometown except a few college players and juniors players.

lando_8 0 Report post Posted June 21, 2006 I grew up playing with Ethan Moreau from the Oilers in Huntsville, Ontario until I was 11 and then he started playing an age group above us as it was a small town (10,000 people) and he was obviously that much better than the rest of us. Moved to Peterborough at 12yrs old, there are more players from there or who played for the Petes, and went on to the NHL than you can shake a stick at, crazy hockey town...

Quintin 16 Report post Posted June 21, 2006 guy named Colin Shields.he got drafted by the flyers. only ever guy from the UK to be drafted into the NHL. he played ECHL for numerous teams, NCAA Maine Bears, and many more.coolest thing is... he used to live in my street. :) Tony Hand? Yep, Tony Hand's also drafted in the NHL and played on the same line as Gretzky for one game. He told me that he preferred the Edinburgh atmosphere rather than the Edmonton so that's why he came back. Great guy though, shame he had to move to Manchester.
