Rest in Peace



Although not the NHL, I’m sure we all appreciate Slap Shot. It’s a sad day, Paul D’Amato better know as Tim “Dr Hook” McCracken has passed at the age of 76.

We salute you.

    Tony Ganios yesterday, Paul D’Amato today. Sad news. Paul will be known as Tim McCracken but had a memorable part in The Deer Hunter. Rest in Peace Paul D’Amato

    Had the pleasure of meeting him a few times at charity hockey tournaments. Absolute delight of a person, friendly, funny, outgoing and just a pleasant ass dude. He signed a black and white version of this picture with “to redstarohyeah, see you in the corners!” and it always makes me smile. Rest in peace to a legend!

    I don’t know how popular this story is, but he was the inspiration for Logan in early Wolverine comics.
