I got to know him through his brother Gary, who was in my class at the University of Toronto. When our class hockey team (called the Engineering Red Wangs) decided to play summer hockey, we needed a couple of reinforcements to replace the people who lived out of town, so Gary talked Bruce into joining us. A few years later I was back in the same league with a different team. Whenever I told anybody that I played for the Red Wangs, they would say "oh yeah, I remember them. There was one really great player on that team, number five I think." Bruce Driver also played for the University of Wisconsin (two NCAA championships) and for the 1984 Canadian Olympic team. I haven't seen him since, I think, his second year at Wisconsin. Gary Driver used to be on this net, but I don't think he is anymore. -- Jeff Richardson, DCIEM, Toronto (416) 635-2073 {linus,ihnp4,uw-beaver,floyd}!utcsrgv!dciem!jeff {allegra,ihnp4,linus,decvax}!utzoo!dciem!jeff
