Prior to his 30 year career as Canada's most famous hockey commentators, Parksville's Howie Meeker grew up in Newfoundland and played for the Toronto Maple Leafs in the 1940s, all of which is recalled in Golly Gee, It's Me, co authored by Parksville's Charlie Hodge (not the Charlie Hodge who played goalie for the Montreal Canadiens).
