  • A Different Kind of Star Athlete in a Year of Scandal, a Reminder of Why We Root by BRYAN GRULEY Staff Reporter of the WALL STREET JOURNAL Updated Dec
    A Different Kind Of Star Athlete In a year of scandal, a reminder of why we root By BRYAN GRULEY Staff Reporter of THE WALL STREET JOURNAL Updated Dec. 10, 2005 12:01 a.m. ET CHICAGO -- You've probably never heard of Tim Breslin. He played forward for the Chicago Wolves, a minor-league hockey team. A year ago, he was diagnosed with a rare cancer. In eleven weeks, at the age of 37, he was dead. What happened next is a lesson in what sports is supposed to be about. Despite what the media show us, it really isn't about millionaire athletes lambasting teammates on ESPN. It isn't about people with God-given talent taking banned substances for an edge, or how many strippers can fit on a charter boat. It isn't even about winning the Super Bowl or signing a $100 million contract. For every Terrell Owens, there are millions of women and men who play not for riches or glory but for the sheer joy of competing. Tim Breslin was one. He loved being on a team, with his guys, on the ice. He would've loved to play in the National Hockey League, too, but when he fell short, he kept playing anyway and made a living at it. A community grew up around him -- guys who played with him as kids, guys who played with him later, guys who knew guys who played with him, along with wives and girlfriends and coaches and Zamboni drivers, an ever-widening circle of people who love a peculiar game.
