Mickey Redmond has been around hockey so long that it seems everyone has a story or two to share.
Scotty Bowman got to know Redmond 61 years ago, when he was coaching juniors in Peterborough, Ontario, and Mickey was the 14-year-old stick boy. Hall of Famer Marcel Dionne was Redmond’s roommate when both were young Red Wings players. Ken Daniels has been his broadcast partner for 23 years.
With a crew like that — along with broadcasters John Davidson, Doc Emrick and Jim Ralph, coach Mike Babcock, and comedian Ian Bagg — there are bound to be some Redmond stories that are zingers.
