#44 Bernier's Rink
According to DropYourGloves.com, an online hockey fights database, John T. Bernier is loved by none and hated by none. Although that seems a pretty sweet spot to be in, the lone rogue, unattached, the stats are inaccurate. I love the dude.
The stats, however, do tell one truth: During his one season with the Rochester Mustangs (91-92) and two with the Sioux City Musketeers (92-94), he never got in a fight. That doesn't mean he couldn't have. It's a good thing John packs one huge heart.
Aside from making this brute of a polycarbonate arrow, John has built a backyard rink for 'his kids' and also a penalty box full of picture frames out of recycled, busted hockey sticks.
This arrow has been pro-numbered to #44, one of the numbers John wore in his semi-pro days. Thanks, buddy.
UPDATE!!!! I knew the DropYourGloves.com stats were bunk. Here's John (#14) clocking a couple of knuckleheads back in '93.
