The first and last ice hockey article in this blog ever - Jere the Great!

An exception, but for a good reason. Jere Lehtinen, Dallas Stars & Finland is retiring. Huge career and always kept himself out of the media which is more than admirable. The most important thing for this post of course is to take full credit of his skills; one emotional night at Helsinki Club while he was celebrating the Stanley Cup he confessed that he always wanted to become a better player than I was, he never got the puck from me when we played as kids. Kind of him not to mention the few years handicap and to be honest I never knew he was one of the brats but he truly became better than me and one of the best ever. Congratulations Jere, guess you are no brat no more.
