My favourite Gump quote:

"I don't have a beer belly. I drink whiskey."



Rest in peace Mr. Worsley.

It's a bit disconcerting when your early sports memories start passing on.

My memories of him were at the very tail end of his career, wearing the green, gold and white of the North Stars and sharing goal with Cesare Maniago.

You never forget a guy named Gump.

Great goalies the order of Gump Worsley are hard to find.

Great characters are even harder to find, especially in the IMG pro sports universe.

Hockey has lost one of its finest individuals and characters, a tough son of a gun, and a damn good goalie.

My all-time favorite Gumpism is when he was playing for the Rangers and a reporter asked him which team gave him the hardest time -- and Gump's answer was, "The Rangers." Classic. RIP, Gump.

A four time Cup winner, a Hall of Famer and probably the best moment he had was in the 7th game of the Cup finals in '65. He shutout Chicago. Gump was a great goalie
