Bobby HullThis weekend I flew to Chicago for a tryout with the Chicago Blackhawks. It was a gas.
Based on the original offer of a tryout I agreed to fly to Chicago with my lovely wife Peggy and we were to meet up with her Canadian friend. Linda from Toronto. Linda's vast Canadian knowledge of hockey led me to believe she would be perfect as my agent. The tryout offer came with four groovy tickets to the game.
Late in our planning, in a search for a home for the fourth ticket, I invited my cousin John who lives in Indianapolis. John asked me if his brother Joe could attend as well. When I approached Peggy about perhaps missing the game and having a wonderful dinner with Linda, the relief was evident in her eyes and it became a boys night at the game and a ladies night at the Farmhouse Restaurant. A win win for both of us.
The tryout went well and I hope to hear soon on how much money they will offer me. They want me so bad, they let the Cougan Cousins come up to the Legends Skybox at the first intermission and meet with Bobby Hull and Tony Esposito.
