Bobby Hull
Robert Marvin Hull was a Canadian professional ice hockey player who is widely regarded as one of the greatest players of all time. His blond hair, skating speed, end-to-end rushes, and ability to shoot the puck at very high velocity all earned him the nickname "the Golden Jet". His talents were such that an opposing player was often assigned just to shadow him.
"The Christmas just before I turned four, my parents bought me a pair of little black skates and the Bay of Quinte was frozen and my two sisters took me out there and held my hands and taught me to skate. Now I dont know if this is true—although it sounds good!—but rumour has it by the end of the day they couldnt keep up with me."
"I think for kids its the most important part of the game. You have to be able to skate forward and backward, stop and start, go from side to side. Those are the basics of the game."
