Now as a 23-year old Devils fan, I didn’t just see another great New Jersey Devils player have his number retired. Instead, I saw my hero finally receive the utmost honor an individual player can receive, and it brought a tear to my eye.
Sure “the voice of hockey” Michael “Doc” Emrick made it a point to mention that Martin Brodeur is a lock for the Hockey Hall of Fame when he becomes eligible in 2018, but having your number retired by the team you spent 21-seasons playing for is as good it gets when it comes to the sport of hockey.
