This week, we learn more about the Sault's own Phil Esposito and his record-smashing career as a forward
Sault Ste. Marie has been home to many talented National Hockey League players over the last century. In recent weeks, the Sault’s own Michael Amadio scored a double-overtime playoff game-winning goal for the Vegas Golden Knights. However, few players from the city have left as golden a legacy as Phil Esposito.
In 1967, Esposito was traded to the Boston Bruins in a blockbuster deal. He was reportedly less than thrilled and when management offered him a $10,000/year contract, Esposito threatened to quit hockey altogether and stay in Sault Ste. Marie. However, an NHL player’s legacy is cemented not only by goals or points but from winning the coveted Stanley Cup. Esposito accomplished every hockey player’s dream in 1970, winning the Stanley Cup with the Bruins in a four-game sweep of the St. Louis Blues. Esposito’s 13 goals and 14 assists in the playoffs were, unsurprisingly, a new points record.Esposito was so beloved by his fans, that bumper stickers were printed with the words “Jesus saves, but Esposito scores on the rebound.
