About this ebook
Hockey players have stories. All you have to do is ask a question about something that happened and step back and allow them to talk. The stories seem to be neither exaggerated tall tales except the stories are neither exaggerated nor tall tales. The events happened. Gordie Howe did pick up someone by the nostrils. The Indianapolis police did issue an all-points bulletin looking for a missing championship trophy. The Stanley Cup has tales. One Hockey player have performed on a broken ankle and helped his team to a championship, another player used peanut butter to help with a leg injury to play during the Stanley Cup Playoffs. The stories you are about to read are true and the names have not been changed to protect either the innocent or guilty.
