One of my childhood heros.
The guy was a soccer player in his hometown, and then moved to Canada.
He was 9 years old, when he lied about his age, and tried out - and made - a 12-year old youth hockey team.
I learned to how take face-offs from Mikita. He also invented the curved stick.
Prayers to the family, he was a great one.
"You can't be a real country unless you have beer and an airline - it helps if you have some kind of a football team, or some nuclear weapons, but at the very least you need beer."
