When I was a kid growing up in Chicago, Stan Mikita was one of my favorite players, along with Bobby Hull.

15 years ago, I met Cliff Koroll at a McDonald's corporate function (he was a consultant to them I believe). We got to talking hockey. He told me he never made more than $8,000/year playing hockey. As a comparison to similar types of players, Koroll's stats are slightly below Patrick Sharp's, and well above Kris Versteeg's. And those guys are getting around $5.5 million and $2.2 million/year respectively!

Me too. Stan was one of the nicest athletes I ever met, and Bobby always signed every autograph for the kids. I'm glad he was still able to enjoy the cups in 10 and 13.
