Peter Puck back. Rubber disc taught hockey to U.S., kids
by Dave Stubbs, The Gazette, Published: Tuesday, May 22, 2007
He retired at age 7, a decent lifespan for a six-ounce hunk of rubber that was slapped around silly. But now, 27 years later, hockey's vulcanized vehicle of veracity is on the comeback trail.
Peter Puck, co-fathered by Hall of Fame broadcaster/author Brian McFarlane and Scotty Connal, the late executive director of NBC Sports, is emerging from the deep freeze.
