Eric Weinrich, most recently having played with the St. Louis Blues and Vancouver Canucks in the 2005-06 season, is in his second season as a Portland Pirate.  And after having played some 1157 games in the NHL, it seems he’s still having fun with the game at the AHL level. 

From Eric’s blog:

Lastly, I can’t express the joy I have everyday I go to the rink and lace up my skates. Some people ask me how I can still do it everyday. The thing is, I couldn’t imagine NOT doing it, the game I love. My friend Chris Chelios continues to defy age and play at such a high level, and remains an inspiration for me. I read a great quote that sums up how I feel. It read, “How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you were?” Think about it sometime.

Drafted 22 years ago and he still sounds like a kid excited to play his favorite game. 

That’s just not something you hear everyday.
