From Clarke to the Tim Kerr era etc. Back then there was no internet. I could only glean Flyer player stats in the Tuesday newspaper. In the evening I would hope to see some highlights on ITV etc, but they would often just post the score or if they showed highlights, it might only be one or two goals. It sucked. Then I moved from Cold Lake to Edmonton. Daily coverage of the local team. Tickets that were easy to acquire at the time. I started taking interest in a hardworking hockey team pretty much devoid of the Oilers I loathed (ok....envied). It was hard not to admire Weight. He was a damn good hockey player. I really liked following that underdog club. The rest is history.

So we should rub in the 1985 and 1987 Cup wins when talking to you then?

It won’t make it through the callus. As I stated. Alberta resident at the time. 😊
