Chris Cuthbert

He'd go through it, uh,

on a, on a monthly basis to, to check in, make sure everybody was, was doing okay.

And often just to rib you a little bit and just to, just to be around.

So he was that kind of guy.

And I think what, what's really, you know, as, as we talk today and we've, we've exchanged stories that the one thing about Cheech, there's, there's so many great people in this business and that's, that's not anything that was exclusive to him.

But I think that,

What stands out for me is I've, I've never heard anybody with a bad word about Cheech, everybody.

Everybody loved Cheech, and it made him a unique guy in a lot of ways.

Well, you know what's funny about the list?

I knew he had a list.

What I found humorous about it was Cheech was a handwritten guy.

The list is handwritten.

All his stats were always handwritten.

You know in the game notes where they have the game-by-game, every player's stat.

He had this graph paper that he used to use.

And, and back then pre-internet, when we were working together, you, you sort of had to do this more, uh, where you would, he'd do the game by games of every, every player in the league, uh, handwritten.

Now the NHL has taken over and they do that now, but I, I imagine until the very end that, you know, Cheech would, would still do everything by hand.

So, uh, there's some great names there.

And there were some names that I, uh,

I was surprised about.
