Probably Patrick Roy, and Ray Bourque. Both were my idles growing up along with Mario Lemieux. They are the entire reason I started playing hockey. oh yeah how could I forget......Bill Watterson. I have been one of his biggest fans since I was able to read. His depiction of life through the eyes of a little boy always made me laugh (btw he was the creator/writer/artist of Calvin and Hobbes the comic strip).
