Now 97 and a former teammate of 19-year-old Lindsay with the 1944-1945 Red Wings and then replaced by 18-year-old Howe the following season, Steve Wochy (born Steve Wojciechowski on Christmas Day, 1922) says “hockey has been very good to me,” and doesn’t dwell on missing Detroit’s dominating stretch when they finished in first place for seven straight years and won four Stanley Cups (1950, 1952, 1954, 1955) in six years
Kind of hard to argue with getting replaced by a guy when that guy is Gordie Howe. Cool story though.
Though I can’t necessarily say the same for what I’ve encountered online, I know I have been way more fortunate than a lot of people and women of color.
