Saw Mark Messier at a restaurant in Hilton Head island this summer.
I used to run into NHL players occasionally when I worked near Madison Square Garden in NYC. I swear those guys have phony personal measurements listed in their profiles. Messier looked big on the ice but seemed more average sized in person. Brian Leetch was listed as 6’0” but he couldn’t have been more than 5’8” when I saw him up close. Scott Stevens was the scariest athlete I’ve ever seen. He was only about an inch taller than me, but it seemed like every body part of his was at least 25% larger than a normal human — head, hands, feet, etc.
