Although he was the oldest player on the ice of
the Stars’ practice rink that day in February 1998, when
I first saw him I didn’t even know his name. Nevertheless,
he stood out to such extent that I returned from my vacation
in Dallas determined to find out about Guy Carbonneau. Any longstanding
fan of Carbo could have predicted what I learned would capture
my heart and my imagination forever.
In July 1998 I launched this site,
which has grown to a current 304 pages of material, with 348 photos.
I believe it is the largest site on the Web for an NHL player, but
this must be blamed on Guy, whose accomplishments are just that inspiring.
It is my mission to see that those accomplishments—which somehow
I overlooked until 1998—will never be forgotten.
This is NOT an "official"
or "authorized" site, but I do have Guy’s permission
to create and maintain these pages. However, I must make clear
that if left to his own devices, the last thing Carbo would do
is authorize a web site singing his praises—it is more out
of kindness to me that he allows this celebration of his career
to exist. Guy's humility is just another reason to admire this
man who has so many reasons to be proud. |
