I met Terry Gillies (sp?) once. His daughter lived across the hall from me freshman year. I didn't know who he was until my hockey-obsessed neighbor told me that he was a defenseman for the NY Islanders back in the early 80's when they won a bunch of Stanley Cups. Apparently he used to get into fights with the guy they called The Tazmanian Devil (at the beginning of Happy Gilmore) everytime they played.

I wasn't sure if he was any good until one day his daughter told us she was going to a trip to Canada b/c her dad was getting inducted into the NHL Hall of Fame! (I guess peter king likes him)
