A friend of his from the Vancouver area where he's from emigrated from Hong Kong, and introduced him to the higher ups in that program.

I think before all the strife with the CCP, Hong Kong was one of the most liveable cities in the world.

Pretty much the highest standard of living in the World. Still is with all the CCP protests, which or much more orderly than what we see here.

Reading that article last night took me down a worm hole of watching hockey brawls from the 70s & 80s for 2 hours.

Referring to him as an enforcer is idiotic. Very talented player.

Wonder if the HK hockey dev program(s) is backed by the mainland, where the KHL tries (unsuccessfully) to spread its (Russia's ppl public money backed) influence. Under the good old banner of "popularizing hockey" throughout the world lol

I kind of KNOW that, but then again, I don't. Was in HK for 1 day (Persian Gulf war in the Navy) that 1 day had duty on ship.
But, got a ROCKING USN w/my name embroidered in front and all the Countries we visited along the way and back.

Beck was my favorite player growing up. To bad injuries slowed him down. I still wear #5 today in men’s league because of him.

Took me a while to get used to Barry in #5. Always thought of him as #3 since that is what he wore while Vad was a Ranger.
