THE GIFTS OF HOCKEY

by Tommie Holmes


Author's Note

Because there was no Stanley Cup presented in 2005, the cup was forwarded to a select few old time Stanley Cup winners. Kenny Mosdell was one of these so honored. Because one of my stories in “The Gifts of Hockey” uses Kenny as a role model, he invited me to his home when the cup arrived.
