Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204 Report post Posted September 16, 2016 Horcoff has lived in Detroit forever and trains in Detroit before the season every year. Surprised he got a role with the Wings, but I guess he was tigher with Kenny than I thought. Him and Dano are buddies too, hopefully this will make Dano finally realize its time to give up with the playing career. 1 Gordie Howe hat trick reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joesuffP 1,746 Report post Posted September 16, 2016 Hmm never knew that. He's kind of a local legend back in Trail/Castlegar Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LeftWinger 4,953 Report post Posted September 16, 2016 Another Sparty in the organization! Can't go wrong. I'm sure with all the times he's skated at development camps and whatnot, he probably knows these guys ok pretty well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GoalieManPat 1,007 Report post Posted September 16, 2016 Hes lived in the area during the offseason forever. Pretty sure his wife is from Michigan and that and him playing at MSU kept him around. The more good hockey minds in the organization the better. He was never a star but he put up some pretty respectable numbers in the mid to late 00's so he knows the game. 1 Gordie Howe hat trick reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
