Speaking of McDonald’s... there was one at the old practice facility, the Ice-O-Plex. Anyhow, when the Oilers were in town and practiced there, and afterward their practice we saw a few of the Oilers standing in line. Most noticeable among the Oilers was Boris Mironov, who was wearing a lime green colored coat, and was very cool to talk to.
There was also an Oilers equipment staffer in line who made a huge order, and as we happened to be near the lockers to get dressed, we were met upon with a bunch of naked Oilers charging the locker room door to get their grub on.
Which reminds me of my encounter with Bob Miller while we were both taking a leak at the same facility. I made sure not to shake his hand though, that would’ve been awkward. Not sure why my hockey stories from Ice-O-Plex involve dongs, but that’s the way things go sometimes.
Loved the ice o plex, met quite a few kings there, left one morning after pickup and was asked for my autograph by a kid, that was extremely interesting lol again so many memories there
