Cool backstory, since you followed him in the minors do you know why he fought Mike Stothers SEVEN TIMES in the same playoff series? Was there a cheating wife or a racial slur or something? I can't imagine fighting the same guy seven times in a matter of days.

I didn't really follow him closely, I just remember that little nugget like it was yesterday. I don't know anything on the Stothers backstory. Any time the Leaf farm team came to town I used to get tickets beside the bench, which is where I met a lot of them. I just remember Val really standing out that game and me thinking "this guy is gonna kill someone if he steps on the ice". LOL.

I was lucky for a few years when the Leaf farm team was actually based out of there and won the Calder Cup as the New Brunswick Hawks. Actually just had a look back at their roster over the 4 years of their existence before they moved to St. Catherines. Interesting in their first year to see 3 very long tenured eventual NHL coaches in Quennville, Wilson and Sutter.

Was also lucky to get to watch a pre-NHL Brett Hull play there.

No way, Czerk the Jerk looks like Justin Timberlake. I was thinking this was Suglobov but I was mistaken.

Edit - the guy above me is Tim Connolly

That didn't take long. I even tried to get an image without the number, and everything.
