Somewhere on the ice, among a couple of dozen kids, is Bryan Trottier, sev- en-time Stanley Cup winner (six as a player); member of the Hockey Hall of Fame since 1997; native of Val Marie, Sask., population maybe 150now, he tells the New Tanner. He is, says Philip Marzo, who with son Nathan oper- ates Inside Edge sports, the one with the white gloves. A fashion Mr. Trot- tier would have abhorred during his days with the New York Islanders, the team he led, with Mike Bossy, Denis Potvin, Billy Smith and a host of dedicated and relentless teammates, to four Stanley Cups during the 1970s. Today, one of many ventures, he represents Re- bellion, a sporting goods manufacturer featured by the Marzos and maker of the gleaming gauntlets. Busi- ness brought the parties together, resulting in warm personal relationships and leading to Mr. Trottiers first visit to Acton last year for an autograph session at Inside Edge. Hockey camp On the ice today, the Is- landers dynamo is enjoying play of a different kind as the featured instructor in Bryan Trottiers Inside Edge Pro Sports Hockey Camp, midway through its five day run last week in Acton. The camp put 132 local hockey players ages 5-16 their paces on and off the ice, including Christian Trottier in goal pads, under- aged at just four. Whether diagramming the next drill as befits the current Islanders direc- tor of player development, running a group through its routines, having a gen- tle word in the ear of two youngsters, or sharing his thoughts with host Jennifer Valentine and the viewers of CITY-TVs Breakfast Television or just taking a few moments alone to glide around the ice with a puck, Mr. Trottier seems completely relaxed and at home in the busy environ- ment. That, and the beaming smile occasionally breaking his quiet, serious demeanor, are a stark contrast from his deadly Leaf Killer persona of the 70s. Acton made a very fa- vourable impression on the small town kid who played midget hockey at age 12. He was drafted by the Islanders before his 18th birthday and went on to win the Calder, Hart, Art Ross and Conn Smythe trophies in 18 play- ing seasons, scoring 1425 points and winning the Cup twice with Pittsburgh in addition to his Islanders trophies, once more (with Colorado) in ten coaching seasons. I love it here, he says, adding he enjoyed the arena, its atmosphere, and talking with many people curious about his career. Will he be back? Hed like to, but says, like any other venture, well evaluate at the end of the week and go from there. Marzos delighted The Marzos were delight- ed with the outcome. Nathan Marzo said he never heard a negative word the entire week, adding that the whole enterprise hinged on the absolute dedication of many local people who were com- mitted to seeing the project succeed. In total, about 29 staff were required. At the same time, said Mr. Marzo, on careful review there are a number of things the staff thought could be improved and We will improve them. Meaning? Only scheduling of the key individuals, ice availability and possible changes in Mr. Trottiers role with the Islanders, need to be worked out to see a repeat of the school next year. A dual citizen of the US and Canada, Mr. Trottier resides in Pittsburgh but his love for Canada and his hockey roots remain strong. He strongly believes hockey is the backbone of our culture. Hockey, he says, is Can- adas gift to the world. At the same time, Mr. Marzo, who billeted the Trottiers (including wife Jennifer and two of his four children, said it would be hard to find a nicer group of people. The dignity, class and work ethic Mr. Trottier brings with him are his own gift to the game and its people.
