APRIL 2021 USAHOCKEYMAGAZINE.COM // 19 "He seemed optimistic. He seemed like he was wanting to put this behind him. He seemed like Pav. Pav was Pav." –Bill Baker, 1980 U.S. Olympic teammate "Herb [Brooks] would have the other lines prac- ticing power plays at the other end of the ice, and we'd be down where they had orange cones for skating drills. One day Pav said, 'Look, the [Iron] Rangers, we're stuck down here with all these cones. Just like TV ["Saturday Night Live"] … we're just a bunch of Coneheads.'" –Buzz Schneider, who along with Pavelich and John Harrington made up the "Coneheads" line "He was sharp, he was witty. He may not have been an expressive person but he was an expressive hockey player, and when you saw him on the ice you saw an expres- sive hockey player and he was terrific." –John Harrington, a college and Olympic teammate "I don't care how big or small he is, he can play," –Herb Brooks, who coached Pavelich on Team USA and in the NHL "He's always shunned the spotlight, and he's had some pretty big spotlights on him. But he never wanted that. I think a lot of people misconstrued that shyness maybe for arrogance in some ways … he's the furthest thing from arrogant." –Ronn Tomassoni, former Eveleth teammate and friend "Pav loved the game of hockey, loved playing with his team- mates, and embraced everything that came with that, he was the consummate teammate through and through. A great teammate and better friend. He'd give you the shirt off his back." –Rob McClanahan, 1980 U.S. Olympic teammate "Herb Brooks was our coach then and Pav was concerned that Herb might get angry if he scored too many goals after his third. Herb was all about 'the team' and Pav was well aware of that. … After his fifth goal, when he came back to the bench, Mark was congratulated and we all agreed to try and get him his sixth goal. Mark looked at Herb and Herb looked back, shook his head and with just his eyes Mark knew Herb was very proud of him and amazed to witness another one of Mark's out- standing performances." – Former N.Y. Rangers Barry Beck remembering when Mark Pavelich scored five goals in a game against the Hartford Whalers on Feb. 23, 1983 G I M M I E F I V E Contact us at info@hockeyninja.com • CE Certified • Made in Europe • Anti-fog/Anti-scratch coatings • Worn by pros and amateurs at every level • Biggest visor selection in the world—more than 20 models • Custom Team Caps available for Hiro Visors and MK5-X shields Ronin MK1 Ronin MK5 Ronin MK5-X Ronin G5X Ronin Hiro-3 MK5-X now available in Titanium USING THE COUPON CODE: RONIN20 20 % OFF
