Official Nhl
Hockey Fans...which late NHL player (coach or official) do you wish you could have met/rooted for?
The better question would be this: Which one who has recently passed away do you wish was still around to be appreciated?
For me, I wish like heck to have met Roger Neilson, aka "Captain Video". I have always heard he was a great person off the ice, and was one of the biggest innovators in the NHL. The same goes for Herb Brooks as well.
I pose this question for the hockey fans because some of us have grown up in an era where the greats are still relatively young (Wayne, Mario, Moose, Stevie Y, et al are in their 40s, and Bobby Orr is in his late 50s). However, we have missed out on the old-timers, the builders, the founders, the people who build the NHL.
Al Sutphin - In Cleveland, Ohio, Pro Hockey History, he is "the man" as the original owner of the AHL Barons and the builder of the 10,000 seat Cleveland "All-Sport Palace" Arena in the 1930s, which, at its height of drawing events, would average around 300 events per year....which made the arena as major a facility as any in North America.
He passed away in the early 1970s and - before his death - donated $10,000 to Cleveland youth amateur baseball. He was a civic leader who is seemingly forgotten in Cleveland history.
