MILWAUKEE — Terry Crisp glanced at his caller ID sometime around Christmas, pressed "accept call."
He had a hard time believing what he was hearing.
The phone number belonged to former Nashville Predators forward Cody Hodgson, who was in search of some advice from the team's former broadcaster, the man with three Stanley Cup rings.
Hodgson, a 34-year-old who had been forced out of hockey eight years earlier by what turned out to be malignant hypoglycemia, a rare muscle disease, had decided he wanted to play professionally again.
