Larry Brooks, Hockey’s Unforgettable Voice, Leaves Behind a Legacy Shrouded in Mystery at 75
When the Post’s present Rangers writer, Mollie Walker, was handed the impossible task of following Brooks on the beat, her first call, smartly, was to Brooks, hoping he’d empty his brain (and perhaps his phone directory) for her. But Brooks put a surcharge on such priceless information: he told Walker to first read the NHL labor agreement, cover to cover.
“I wasn’t being a hard-ass,” he explained. “But if you’re going to cover this game, you’d better know all of the game.”
