Fascinating Facts (well, I think they are!;) DID U KNOW:Jimmy Hibbert shares his name with a voice-over artist at Cosgrove Hall animation company, who produce animations like Count Duckula (von Goosewing), Danger Mouse, Lavender Castle, and (funnily enough) a little-known cartoon about a little Jester in (U guessed) a red and yellow costume! SPOOKY!! DID U KNOW: Jim's first penalty came when "I was 8 years old and I went behind the net to stop the puck coming round the boards like I had seen the NHL goalies do on TV. When I stopped the puck, I didn't know what to do so I panicked and smothered it and wound up getting my first career penalty for delay of game." aaaw, bless 'im! DID U KNOW: Another penalty Jim recieved was for skating the length of the ice to fight Richard Gallace of Basingstoke in his first season for Sheffield Steelers. This event also earned him the nickname "Iron Jim" (coz he flattened Mr Gallace!! ;) FABulously dated info (and a piccy! aaaaw, cute) can be found at http://web.archive.org/web/19970629025410/www.steelers.co.uk/pla yers/pl_01.html |
