T.Low 1,011 Report post Posted February 25, 2010 Woa. Heavy stuff. http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2010/02/u...ayer_bobby.html Their only child didn’t hear the screams and the panic. He didn’t see the bizarre chase down the street into a neighbor’s house. His father, an amateur boxer, ripped the door off the hinges and whaled away at the love of his life, causing her to bleed from her mouth and sending her to Cooper University Hospital in Camden for four days with four broken ribs, a fracture to her skull and a punctured lung. Robert Stevenson was charged with attempted murder and five other felony counts. He tried to obtain a passport using the name of a dead baby before jumping bail. He fled to Canada and his wife, who had forgiven him, and his son later joined him. Robert Stevenson and his son changed their names and lived under assumed identities and the family lived on the lam. Today, the boy who protected his family’s dark and complicated secret for much of his life is a pivotal part of the U.S. Olympic hockey team that faces Canada.

mmamolo 287 Report post Posted February 25, 2010 If it's old news, who cares. There are always ppl on this boards who haven't things and this is such a cool and interesting story so for the ppl who come to this forum who haven't heard this story it'd be sweet for them to come across it. Besides, as badass as Bobby Ryan already is, this story just makes him that much better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mjlegend 155 Report post Posted February 25, 2010 Next we're going to hear something about Zach Parise's dad being (ugh) a Canadian. The horror! I'd heard this before, like around his first year after the draft. Pretty shocking stuff and I'm glad he was able to make it out of that. Patrick O'Sullivan's dad is a total dick, too. He filed restraining orders against him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
