Original Toronto Star caption: Kids crowded around Howie Meeker when he sited the outdoor rink at Nathan Phillips Square recently. They demanded his autograph and wanted to know why his Wednesday night hockey instruction show on TV is only 15 minutes long. Nearly 900,000 viewers watch the show. On Meeker's right is his wife, Grace.
