Messier On The Edge Of History
by Arien Hughes
A man stands on the precipice of the game. Before him, stands the future and the irrefutable fact that he no longer has one as an active player. Behind him, a career the breadth of which few could imagine that is filled with accolades and achievements that even fewer could dream of personally accomplishing. That man is Mark Messier and soon he will no longer be part of the National Hockey League; a place he’s called home for twenty- five seasons where he’s been brash, cocky, vicious, dominate, and feared but above it all, he’s been revered by both friend and foe.
