Goon Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 5 hours ago, The Sicatoka said: George Pelawa would've been 56 later this week. I played football with George at Bemidji High School. Big George could've played Division I football, Baseball, and Hockey. He was one hell of a guy; everyone liked him. He'd take it easy on his teammates in practice. When he'd blitz, no one from the opposition could stop him on the line or in the backfield. I remember hearing about his death while I was stationed in Germany. It was a huge shock. The Hockey News covered his funeral. I can't imagine what he could've become as a player. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackheart Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 Written by Tom Cochrane about Pelawa...some claim it's written about Lindy Ruff's younger brother who died in a bus accident. There's some stuff out there on the interwebs about the meaning of this song. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walsh Hall Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 4 hours ago, Blackheart said: I always wonder what his role would have been on that already stacked team. Put him on the first line with Hrkac and Joyce? I remember George and Len Bias being wake up calls for young folks at the time... I believe that GP was slotted on the first line from what I was told. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
