Gents:
Not to start a flame war, but in my house growing up in the 50s', we were not allowed to mention the name Maurice Richard (the Rocket) when talking hockey (as most Canadians did back then) owing to his lack of "commitment" and ........weak ankles (?) which enabled him to stay over here.
My dad was a 4th Cdn Armoured Div vet (6 yrs overseas-39-45). When I married, my father-in-law (Lincoln and Welland vet) expressed much the same disdain for the Rocket and others.
Water under the bridge, but the old boys had very strong feelings about this.
