Some of you hockey fans can probably fill in the blanks about him, but anyhow, he was a friend of a friend.
I hate to nitpick (but it's hockey, how can I not?), but he was like 22 or 23 when he won the Cup. But yes, he did win the Cup with the Montreal Canadiens in 1992-93 against Wayne Gretzky and the Kings. People may know his older brother a bit more, Hall of Famer Marcel Dionne. On a Gilbert note, I'm pretty sure his number was retired by the Cyclones organization.

Either way, that's awesome as all get out. I'd love to play golf with a Cup winner!



My old roommates father played golf with Detroiter Alice Cooper. I have not played golf with anyone famous so I figured I'd mention him. Apparently he is quite the intellectual and not like you'd expect. But I've heard that from more than him.
