Jeremy_Roenick 6:06pm via Twitter for iPhone It's a sad day in Hockey. Thanks to George Gund for bringing hockey to Northern Cali. #SanJoseSharks Thanks for all you did for Hockey! RIP

Actually, didn't he take hockey away from Northern California? Still he brought it back better than ever and with much better color sense.
