This week’s 50 Years Ago in Hockey Podcast is now available!
In this week’s show, we talk about NHL training camps getting into full swing, with one of the NHL’s all-time great goalies making his first appearance with the Maple Leafs; we learn about a young NHL superstar suffering a significant injury just before reporting to camp, and the Montreal Canadiens newest innovation – the assistant coach – is finally revealed, and it’s not anyone whose name was on the radar. Plus much, much more!
