A Very Cool Story

Our CFO is a gentleman named Bill MacFarland who is 72 years old, a former Professional Hockey player, University of Michigan Hall of Famer and former Commissioner of the World Hockey Association. At 72, he is sharp as a tack and someone you wouldn't want to tangle with, he's the epitome of a big, tough hockey player.

We played golf a while back at a nice course here in Phoenix and we had a single that joined us. This guy rode with Bill in the golf cart for the entire 18 holes. When we were done playing, we had a beer, we wre talking and the guy asked Bill where he was from. Bill told him he was from Seattle. The guy said he was from Seattle as well and really loved hockey. In fact he told us that when he was a young kid, he and his friend would go to the hockey arena to watch the Seattle Totems practice and play and that his favorite hockey player was Bill MacFarland. He liked Bill because Bill was known as "The Enforcer", let's just say he lost very few Hockey fights, he could put the hurt on.

Bill didn't say a word...... but my buddy and I did. Bill pulled out his drivers license and some old photos he had in his wallet to verify who he was. This guy flipped! He immediately went to the Pro Shop and bought hats to have Bill autograph as well as the scorecard. Not a real newsworthy post, but nice story to share.
