At the time one of their top scorers was Robbie Ftorek which leads to this brush with greatness story from my youth: I caddied for Robbie Ftorek one fine summer day at Coldstream shortly after their last season ended (I didn't really follow hockey and barely knew who he was or that the team had apparently just folded). You won't be surprised to hear he hit it very hard with a lot of hand action and a nice draw. He was very friendly, didn't take himself too seriously.
