In the debut episode of the Slim and None podcast, former WHA and NHL team owner Howard Baldwin describes his journey through the sport we all love, his stint with the Marines and everything leading up to getting his name on the Stanley Cup.
Before he made it to Hollywood, before his name was etched on Lord Stanley’s Cup, before his New England Whalers won the Avco World Trophy in the WHA’s inaugural season, Howard Baldwin was just a kid on a frozen lake with lofty ambitions and huge skates to fill.
Episode one tells the story of where that ambition came from - of the various summer jobs, the stint with the Marines, the brief college hockey career, the even briefer amateur baseball career, and the experiences with the ECHL Devils and Philadelphia Flyers that made it all possible.
