“Now he’s a kid right out of college and he says, ‘Yeah, I’ll go snap 50 in this league,'” Sheehy remembers. Still, the confidence he had coming into the league was staggering, and one day he said something that made Sheehy gasp. Hull was coming off a season for University of Minnesota-Duluth in which he scored 52 goals in 42 games, and was two seasons removed from a 105-goal 56-game junior season. Hull took him up on the offer, so Sheehy got a good opportunity to witness the young right winger’s earliest NHL impressions. “Why don’t you come to my house and live with me for the rest of the year?” Sheehy asked him. He figured he’d offer him something a bit more comfortable. He knew that Hull, like a lot of prospects, had been put up in a local hotel during his postseason stay.
Neil Sheehy, now an NHL agent, was a 25-year-old defenseman for those Flames.
