CaptainChorizo 1,977 Posted February 7, 2019 Would assume any NHL Hall Of Famers would get DailyMail at least,but say a 90 year old journeyman who played 10 seasons is probably only getting writeup's in Hockey specific outlets or in Canadian papers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you’re referring to Meeker he did more for Hockey Night in Canada and broadcasting in general fter his playing days, his role in TV was far more important - and tv personalities have a good shot at a QO. Meeker played on basically one team so maybe you didn’t mean him, or maybe you didn’t mean anyone and we’re making a generalization? Lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lol Yeah just a generalazation based on past hockey players who did or didn't get QO. But yeah, people in Broadcasting for a long time tend to safely obit as well.
