Iron Mike Keenan, Hockey Coach

Legendary Hockey Coach Iron Mike Keenan talks about winning at EVERY level over his 5 decade coaching career, getting his 'Iron' moniker not from Mike Tyson but rather from Mike Ditka, putting Gretzky/Lemieux/Hawerchuk [3 Centres!] on the ice at the same time which led to that iconic game-winner at the 1987 Canada Cup, bringing 'The Moose' Mark Messier to tears with his pre-Game 7 speech as the NY Rangers ended a 54 year Stanley Cup drought, coaching 50 future Hall of Famers [including Gretzky/Lemieux/Hull/Bure/Savard/Pronger/Shanahan/Hasek/Belfour], sharing his Chicago Blackhawks' hot tubs with Michael Jordan & Scottie Pippen, enjoying a Knicks game courtside with Jimmy Buffett, how today he has mellowed to become better known as Grandpa Mike or 'Mike-Lite,' and how close he might have come [or not come] to coaching his hometown Toronto Maple Leafs!
