Where are they now? Ed Courtenay
For all you really old Sharks fans out there, a quick where are they now — Ed Courtenay.
Ed’s still playing hockey, and playing in Britain.
Courtenay is teh subject of one of my favorite all time radio “moments” in Sharks history:
Dan Rusanowsky: It’s a breakaway!
Dennis Hull: No, it’s Courtenay.
Dennis Hull was right. Never the fleetist of feet in the NHL, Courtenay still was one of those guys who brought the effort every night in the early (really sucky!) days of San Jose Sharks history….

Looking for Something?
Here are a couple of companies that I purchase from and can recommend to you.
In some places on this site I use links that take you to a page where you can buy a product I talk about. If you use that link and make a purchase, I'll earn a small commission and you'll earn my thanks for doing so. You don't pay more when you do this and I get a few dollars to help pay for this site's fees or to put away for that 800mm lens I'd love to buy. If you choose to use these affiliate links, thank you. If you would rather not, that's fine as well.

I spent a season as an on-ice official (Referee most of the time, Linesman occasionally) in the UK. The best game I ever watched (as a spectator the Referee has figuratively the best “seat” in the house!) was at the very rink in Bracknell where Courtenay's interviewer from the BBC met him. The BBC blogger is wrong saying that only one ex-NHL'er has played in the UK though. I can recall a few others. Jim McTaggart (ex- Washington Capitals) for one.
