from George Johnson of the Calgary Herald,
The city had scarcely cleaned up the debris from the Stanley Cup parade in late March of 1989, though, when (Hakan) Loob announced he’d be heading back to Sweden in order for his young children, Henrik and Niklas, to grow up at home. He sacrificed a significant amount of dollars in the process.
“I come in here today and some guy had already pulled out of the screws,’’ he joked when collecting his nameplate and saying goodbye.
“My name was just hanging there, crooked. “I thought: ‘At least wait until I’m gone.’”
He was 28, at the peak of his powers.
