Great vid on 47 yr old Chris Chelios still playing pro hockey

[fleetus macmullitz]

Like him or hate him he'll turn 48 very soon and keeps playing because of his huge passion for the game.

He also does a stunt on the ice during the vid that is very clever and funny!

This is sort of off the wall, but Chris Chelios is one of the first humans that my son saw, other than hospital staff.

He was born on the same day, in the same hospital, as the son of Brian Hayward, the goalie for the Montreal Canadiens at the time. The first time I brought my (now) ex-wife for a walk in the hallway, carrying my son for the first time, I almost literally bumped into Chris Chelios, who was visiting his friend, with my son in my arms .......

Just a little "brush with fame" kind of story that I was reminded of when I saw the post. I also saw him kick a Calgary Flame player (John Tonelli?) in the ankle deliberately, when the play went up ice and the ref was not looking, during a play off game. You see a lot of stuff when you have rink side seats!
