STAN MIKITA

While doing my morning news roundup I learned that former NHL (National Hockey League) player Stan Mikita is being treated for 'Stage 1' oral cancer.

I remember that great Chicago Blackhawks team from the early 1970s: Jim Pappin, Bill White, Tony Esposito, Pit Martin, Keith Magnuson, Chico Maki, Dennis & Bobby Hull, and "the rest"...

Of course, for you movie fans, Stan Mikita was immortalized in Wayne's World (1992): "Stan Mikita's" donut shop was a play on "Tim Horton's".
