Howie was remarkable and such a great hockey mind and able to explain and instruct so well with his animated and lovebale style using replay and his white screen marker.

I remeber asking my Dad once who the heck this guy was, how would I know, and my father went on to explain Rookie of the Year three time Stanley Cup Champ wit the Leafs, coached the Leafs,,,Wow how could I not be impressed. 

What an indearing man. God rest his soul.

When I ran a satellite truck I met my share of celebrities, including Howie Meeker a couple times. The first time was in Vernon BC when we were doing the Centennial Cup, and 6 or 8 of us went for dinner. He picked up the cheque for the table, and I also remember looking at his huge hands. Al Ok guy in my books.
