My Take
Craig Patrick carries one of hockey's great surnames, descending from a dynasty that shaped the sport, yet he earned his own place as player, coach and general manager. For me, the magic is 1980 Lake Placid: being on the bench for the United States team that toppled the Soviets in the Miracle on Ice is the stuff of legend. Add a Stanley Cup, Hall of Fame induction and the Lester Patrick Trophy, and you have a true architect of winning teams. I have a deep respect for the behind-the-scenes builders, and Patrick is one of the finest.
