Ayden Mikita | my deepest sympathy for you and your family. My father is 83 and told me stories about how great your Uncle Stan was...God Bless you and your family and Uncle Stan 😇😇.
Thanks for the clip. Stan's my favorite player, all time. Love the shot at 1:18 of him with the Art Ross, Hart, and Lady Byng. i've never seen that image before.
Sad to hear Stan the Man is suffering from oral cancer; he'll be in my thoughts and prayers. I had the privilege of seeing Mikita, Hull, and Esposito play back in the old Chicago Stadium - what a madhouse! Also was lucky enough to have Stan coach us kids at hockey camp one summer - man, was that a thrill! You won't find a finer gentleman than him. I always thought of Bobby Clarke, another HofFer, as basing his game on Stan's prototype (well, pre-Lady Byng days, that is).
Stan Mikita. A versatile stalwart for the Black Hawks. A game changer in many facets including the curved stick and going from the penalized enforcer to Lady Byng Memorial Trophy winner. A two-way playing all -star.
Rest in peace stan. If you watch @:57 it looks very similar to the goal the goal Patrick Kane scored in game six versus the Philadelphia flyers to win the stanley cup in 2010
it is very sad for me that player like stan mikita was the best centres in history of ice hockey and he was not playing for that time czechoslovakia. a big player like him from a small country slovakia it is awesome and his not the only one there are players like brother stastny which their childrents are playing for usa
Stan started wearing a helmet after a shot from a puck tore his ear off. They stitched it back and said, "you better wear this Stan." And the rest is history.....Slovak power!
my great uncle.
Ayden Mikita My Condolences To You And Your Family, Ayden!!! RIP Stosh!!!

Stan has a pretty versatile golf game too...Always a pleasure and great times on the golf course!

"Enforcer" - I don't think so given his size. He referred to his stick as the great equalizer.
ONE OF MY IDOLS AND HEROES. I WISHD IM FINNISH STAN MIKITA
ONE OF MY IDOLS IS STAN MIKITA
I always liked Mikita, and watched him play in the sixties and seventies--a real classy player. Go Hawks--take the cup for Stan--end the drought!!
