One of the many things I severely miss during the COVID-19 pandemic is turning on the Blackhawks game and letting Pat Foley and Eddie Olczyk drown out all of the worries, stressors and anxious thoughts I’ve been having throughout the day. The duo emit a pure love of hockey whenever they call a game together and they enchant us with their ability to make us feel a wide range of emotions just watching a sporting event. To me, that’s an indicator of a special talent.
When the news broke that Eddie was diagnosed with cancer, I remember being devastated with my family and few friends.
