Scott Darling is from Lemont, Illinois in case you need a reminder. The #LemontsDarling hashtag hasn’t been used quite as often this season.
Darling being an Illinois native, I turned to him recently to discuss Illinois matters, such as the state lacking a Division I college hockey program and what it was like being a hockey player growing up in Lemont. We also got into him meeting his childhood idol Ed Belfour again, the Stanley Cup Playoffs, and, of course, his plans for the future.
Scott Powers: The Frozen Four is obviously coming to Chicago, and the state lacks a Division I hockey program.
