A hundred years ago, I attended a week-long summer hockey camp at which this gentleman was one of the featured instructors. I recall that he did not overly exert himself. But he didn't actually drink beer while on the ice with his young charges.

But my expectations of the whole experience were somewhat unrealistic. For instance, I thought the gentleman below was going to don his goalie pads and let us kids take shots against him. Then we could say -- assuming we got a few past him -- that we had scored on an NHL netminder.

You can believe me when I tell you that did not happen. I think he wore sweats while out on the ice with us.
