From Jim Matheson at The Edmonton Journal, via Faceoff.com:
Dave Hunter has three Stanley Cup rings, two that he keeps in a safety deposit box and the third he keeps around the house. He could flash it for some his oilfield clients, a little show and tell, but he doesn’t.
“My fingers got too fat ... the ring doesn’t fit like it used to,” said the self-deprecating former Edmonton Oilers winger, who has no trouble discussing his Battle of the Bulge.
Hunter, 51, says he’s about 280 pounds now, somewhat north of his robust playing weight. When he quit hockey in 1989, Hunter laughingly said he would never set foot in a gym again. He has been in a gym, but not often.
continued… with a profile on life after hockey, plus some memories with the Oilers
