Everybody's all-American
In life after hockey, LaFontaine still has those special qualities

Pat LaFontaine had quite a week for himself -- inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame on Monday and honored Saturday on Long Island. I had the chance to catch up with him on the Island and found LaFontaine as engaging and refreshing as ever.

Was watching FOX News last night when they said that after some games that Pat would go to a children's hospital to hold the hand of children before they died. He did this before he went home on several occasions. Pure class from a pure gentleman.
