My Dad Used to Play Hockey Episode #13 - Dave Poulin

“It was Keenan and I who went to the hospital to identify him.”

“He took us down to the end of the dock, and said and I got something to tell you, I'm going to retire when I get back.”

“I wasn't good enough is the short answer.”

He almost took a sales job with Procter and Gamble, giving up pro hockey forever.

He was told he was told too small too many times.

He lost a friend and a teammate.

He had to take over for Bobby Clarke. Imagine.

He was the first captain I remember as a Flyers fan and a great one at that.

#20 Dave Poulin. That Philadelphia team of the mid-80's was really special and he was the heart of it.

Get to know him.

I'm your host Zak Kindrachuk.
