and their post-hockey careers. I currently have well over
300 former players and their post-NHL occupations.

Exactly what players did Smith get...he got junk. How many midgets have hockey careers into their

Its unfair to say theres a decline in Canadian hockey players --
Lemieux, Messier and Gretzky are rare players, who emerged at

There are cycles of development in hockey. Currently there are a lot of
promising young Canadian players in the CHL and NHL, who simply need time to
develop into good and great players. But we must not rush their development
just because of expansion. |
| Unfortunately for Orr proponents, hockey careers and players are not
defined by single seasons. If it were, we would have other names we would
have to consider in this conversation. As is, longevitity is a
significant factor, and although Orrs career length was certainly longer
than Paul Average Hockey Players, he is significantly hurt by the fact
that he was not able to last longer. |
