ESPN Rules Expert & ex-NHL Referee Dave Jackson talks about his Montreal origins, reffing his first game in corduroys and a yellow helmet, a horrible yet career-defining incident post-game in Lachine, boyhood hero Guy Lafleur [and his hair!] swooshing by during a game, taking Trevor Linden’s advice on dealing with The Great One, working the 2014 Winter Olympics in Russia, the ‘work commute’ to his private ESPN studio, accepting the transition to helmets & visors, his respect for colleagues in the Toronto ‘Situation Room,’ and a HOPEFUL prediction for our Maple Leafs’ prospects in the coming season [spoiler alert: Buds are ON THE VERGE]!
TORONTO LEGENDS is hosted by Andrew Applebaum.
