In 1962 at the old garden. It was my first live hockey game, fell in love with the sport from that moment on. He and Stan Mikita both scored.
RIP Golden Jet
yes when he was in his 40s. Typical Ranger move. Hull, Guy LaFleur, Espo, Doug Harvey, Gretzky. THey get them all after their primes.
Bernie Geoffrion, Jacques Plante, Eric Lindros, Theo Fleury, Brad Richards, Marty St. Louis, Brendan Shanahan, Glenn Anderson, Jari Kurri, Kevin Stevens...the list is endless. It's the Rangers Way.

yup. the plain truth
RE: Yes, I'd say the best father son combo by a fairly wide margin
The only father-son Hall of Famers that I can think of. Bobby Bonds and Ken Griffey Sr. were very good players and All-Stars, but not HoF caliber.
Hull-Hull are in the Hockey Hall of Fame. Howe-Howe are there also. Tough to decide which combo was better. I don’t think there is an NHL Hall of Fame but I could be wrong about that.
I can still see him going into his backswing for his slap shot, I knew something bad would happen to the Rangers, or whoever he was playing against. So smooth and fast through its cycle. No slouch as a skater, man, the Old Garden. Hull, Balfour, and Hay threw jitters into your heart, and then over the boards would come the Scooter Line. A Golden Era of sorts.
RIP
I remember going to Rangers games at the old Garden as well. There were only 6 teams in the NHL and it was before masks, so you really knew who everyone was on both teams. A golden era indeed.

Del, and only radio to take in most of the games unless TV broadcasts on the weekend! The NHL was the Seven Sisters of the Poor among 'major' sports as far as networks were concerned. And left to the imagination, some of the players took on larger than life impressions.
Could very well be. The Griffeys? The Bonds'? The Mannings (two sons)?

in North American sports history? RIP.

Maybe the only one with both father and son in their respective hall of fame?
not sure.

Genius design, well built and fun for years - best sports game/toy of its era (circa 1970)
