Holla holla homies! Monday was a fun day! Tuesday is this weeks blues day, so let’s try and turn it around a bit with some levity, shall we? “Who Am I…?” coming right atcha!
For first-timers, here’s how this works: Listed below are five clues about a hockey relevant individual, be they player, coach, or “other” (e.g., celebrity, media type, athlete) with a connection to the game of hockey. Your job? A two part deal. Identify the individual AND back up your answer! Specifically: how DOES that person fit with the clues? We’re learning and playing at the same time here folks. Enter complete responses in the comments (person and how they fit) and we’ll see how long it takes to identify our mystery person!
Here we go with individual #53:
1. I was not drafted.
2. I was suspended for an incident that did not involve another player.
3. I hold multiple NHL franchise records.
4. I am one of a single-digit number of players to receive this international recognition for my time playing for my country.
5. I am a three-time hall of fame inductee.
Positive vibes to you all. Please put some care into you and yours this beautiful day and look out for one another where possible! Our impact on others with even the smallest of actions, is far greater than we tend to realize. My best your way…
