I have written a few of these over the years. The first was for Cody Franson, partly because I found his nickname “Fruit Cup” amusing and tried to find out if there was a story behind it. I wrote one for James van Riemsdyk too. That was out of pure love, of course. I also recently wrote one for Mikhail Grabovskiy. because how could you not do that for him at his too soon retirement from hockey? All of those were purely written for fun. Empty Calories.
This one is different.
