‘There are plenty of athletes that I covered over the years who I was not a big fan of, despite their great on field or on ice accomplishments but I can truly say I was privileged to cover the career of Kent Hull. There’s a rule in our business that you don’t cheer in the press box and you aren’t supposed to applaud at press conferences. When Kent Hull finished his retirement press conference, we all gave him a well deserved and heartfelt round of applause. He was so special that we broke one of the media credos.’
