MacLean’s first trip to P.A. will be an “honour”
Although he’s never set foot in Prince Albert before, Ron MacLean has strong ties to the local hockey community.
The former host of Hockey Night in Canada will be in town Saturday and Sunday for the Rogers Hometown Hockey tour.
MacLean is old friends with the big man from P.A., former NHL’er and current Raiders associate coach Dave Manson.
In his blog, MacLean talks about the time he accompanied Manson on a week-long golf trip in the U.K. 15 years ago. He recalled rifling a golf ball at Manson’s head, hitting him in the ear.
