(I actually tracked down the info and reported it in <a href="http://heroesinrehab.ca/blog/2008/03/13/quinn-it-is/" rel="nofollow">in this post</a>. I saw a one or two Junior Wings games myself, at the old Olympia. I remember going to a birthday party that involved a Jr. Wings game and a free Gordie Howe hockey stick. I don't remember the kid's name, but I remember the stuff that I got at his party! @Jim:

Dave Quinn was the Spits announcer over CKLW AM, one of the better ones IMO. I grew up in Detroit, and saw quite a few Spitfires games at the old barn, when the Junior Wings had the Howe boys.
