By the time I got to Flint he was player-coach of the Flint Generals. A lot of times after our league games Rick would bring some of his players out for extra practice and often asked me to hang around if he needed a target…I mean goalie… for them to practice with.

Very cool.
They replaced the old barn in 1996 with the Fort Erie Leisureplex a twin pad with about 2000 seats for the JR B team.
I have played a few tournaments there and some pick up hockey with the guys from work.
Rick was a really hard nosed player and they generally make great coaches and exec`s in hockey
