I played hockey with a kid whose grandfather owned the Concord. We never
stayed there, but the kid's grandfather arranged for us to practice on
the Concord's hockey rink with the Montreal Canadians when they were
staying there before a weekend game with the NY Rangers.

I was about 9 or 10 at the time, and have a really cool picture of me
sitting on the bench flanked on either side by Guy Lafleur and Larry
Robinson. In full equipment, those guys looked huge.


What! There's no justice in the world.......that should have been a
deserving kid, like me.....

We had to score on their goalie(I don't remember his name) in order to win a
t-shirt. Guy Lafleur pulled me aside and told me to shoot about 10 feet to
the right of the net. I started at center ice like I was going in for a
penalty shot, got to the top of the key, and shot 10 feet to the right of
the goalie as instructed...and Lafleur and Robinson moved the net so the
shot would go in. Free t-shirt!
