My Take
Harry Sinden is simply a giant of ice hockey, and the breadth of his career floors me. Winning a Stanley Cup, building the Boston Bruins as coach, general manager and president, and earning a place in the Hockey Hall of Fame would be enough for most lifetimes. But coaching Team Canada in the 1972 Summit Series, with national pride on the line against the Soviets at the height of the Cold War, puts him in rarefied air. Few figures win as player, bench boss and executive alike. I have nothing but deep admiration for someone who shaped an entire era of the game.
