from James Mirtle,
Two years ago, you wouldn’t have found Chris Chelios anywhere near the NHLPA’s leadership hierarchy.
On Friday, he was the face of the union’s rebirth.
Chelios remains a big-time supporter of Bob Goodenow; he is one of the few active NHLers who was playing back when Alan Eagleson resigned in 1991 and his deputy (Goodenow) took over.
As soon as Goodenow was pushed out during the 2004-05 lockout, Chelios became an outsider, a trouble-maker on the fringe, and the only way he was going to get back into the NHLPA’s decision-making fold was if Ted Saskin was forced out.
thanks to a KK reader for the pointer!
