On Monday night in Toronto, Jeremy Roenick shared a hilarious memory from his draft day while being inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame as part of the class of 2024.
He recounted a funny conversation with Mike Keenan, who was the Chicago Blackhawks coach at the time.
Roenick humorously revealed that the deciding factor in the Hawks' choice to draft him might have been a rather awkward encounter in a restaurant bathroom the night before the draft.
He recalled:
"In 1988 the Black Hawks drafted me eighth overall in the first round. And surprising scene, I was only 510 and 150 pounds. I'm convinced the deciding factor of their pick came the night before the draft."
