I was saddened to hear that Larry Brooks passed away. He is known for having covered Gretzky’s career from start to finish. He covered the NY Rangers for about 40 years! (And covered them brutally last season, as they deserved). He didn’t sugarcoat it. He fought with coaches (the YouTube videos of Brooks fighting with John Tortorella are hysterical). An iconic figure in sports reporting and a hockey hall of famer.
Rest in peace, Brooksie.
