Thats right! I was like a second goalie on the team because I blocked so many dang shots. I even broke a pinky blocking a shot. One of my teammates had his cup (the plastic in the jock strap) shatter when he took a shot. He waved for the ref to stop play then pulled out the pieces right there in front of everyone.
I was an impressionable high schooler when Gretzky was just starting at Edmonton. His style suited me well at Attack - on the wing. Let everyone do the dirty work and I'll do the scoring and assisting. My Crease Defense older brother made sure I felt the pain, even if it was away from the field.

That's funny.
