I first listened to Jim Robson as a kid in Edmonton on radio broadcasts of Canucks games. Years later, I had the pleasure of spending an afternoon with the legend at his home in Kits while I was working on a Canucks book. A truly gracious man. RIP and condolences to his family.

Before you write off this article and say “it’s just a grumpy old head”, maybe do some internal reflection and think about what Hyde’s is saying…..I know it made me think about what we need to do at our school and with our program. Fantastic as always.
