What becomes of hockey players after their playing days? Commenting gigs on TV are in short supply, and coaching and general manager jobs in the N.H.L. are hard to come by, and harder to hold on to. Many become scouts, sitting in rinks, taking notes while watching teenagers who hope to make it as pros.

I love this quote Friendship, Fred realized, counts for nothing more in hockey than it does in any other business. So true even in the hobby.
