It was not a special game but I saw the Edmonton Oilers at Joe Louis in 1980. Gretsky scored a hat-trick. It was the first time that I really appreciated his speed and abilities. One second he's in his own end, next thing you know he's scored at the other. The Wings did not have a good game that night.

Again not a special game other than it was the last season at Maple Leaf Gardens. Took my son to a Leafs game - saw them play New York Islanders. Our last game in the old barn.

Walking in the group with Mike Weir and Vijay Singh at Glen Abby the year that they went into sudden-death extra holes. Singh eventually won.
