HUBBY'S REVIEW:
A story of a true hockey legend that I knew nothing about
but was amazed by his story and by his play. This story begins from when his
parents got together and then goes through his childhood. Where he actually
played baseball first then got into hockey later. That to me was strange since
he grew up in Canada, I just figured it would be the other way around. He then
moves on to Jr. Leagues and up through minor leagues getting some breaks along
the way. That happens though and for him it worked out. Once he got an offer to
go to the Blackhawks camp he did everything he could to make the team. From
there he turns into one of the best defensemen
