A lot of folks contend goal-scoring is one of those skills you simply can’t teach.
Calgary Flames prospect Andrew Mangiapane isn’t so sure.
You see, Mangiapane is now in his third campaign with the Ontario Hockey League’s Barrie Colts, where his head coach happens to be a noted expert in the art of baffling goalies and lighting lamps — legendary sharpshooter Dale Hawerchuk.
“He’s a Hall-of-Famer for a reason, right?” Mangiapane said of Hawerchuk, who racked up 518 goals and 1,409 career points — good for 19th on the all-time list — during his NHL heyday.
