From joe_warmington: Hazel McCallion always had Don Cherry in her corner
Despite word being she had been ailing, Cherry thought she would be around for both milestones.Hurricane Hazel was on top of it as she always was.
The first time he saw her in action was during the Mississauga train derailment in November 1979 so he understood she was a take control kind of person – like he was as a hockey coach. Then, a month later as coach of the Colorado Rockies, he was at Maple Leaf Gardens for a game against the Maple Leafs when he met McCallion in person and she told him he was going to come to Mississauga’s Meadowvale Arena to see some girls play.
