Actually, it's Christopher Bowman. (Scotty Bowman's a hockey guy.)

Very sad to hear.

I must have hockey on my mind as I just viewed Rocket dvd the story of Rocket Richard

AND I grew up with Scotty Bowman and the NHL

AND I have watched ice skating shows since Sonja Henie.

AND I am a cataract surgery survivor who will be looking for my eyeglasses for the next two weeks until the new glasses come in.




My apologies to Scotty.

S'okay, sillage. I figured it out when I went looking for a pic of the poor dead fellow to post and kept coming up with this smiling hockey guy. :-)

Bowman had problems with cocaine for years, and even went to rehab while he was still competing. An autopsy is being performed, but the results aren't out yet (at least I haven't seen anything over at the skating boards where I post.) The boards are really buzzing about this. Most folks are saddend, but not really suprised.

I have always enjoyed his charisma on the ice. Here is a clip of a particular performance that I really like (with a very young Chris.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1JNekqRZx4
