Steve Larmer
Steven Donald Larmer (born June 16, 1961) is a retired Canadian professional ice hockey forward.
Steve played in the NHL for the Chicago Blackhawks and New York Rangers. He won the 1983 Calder Memorial Trophy as well as being named to the NHL All-Rookie Team that year. From 1982–1993, Larmer played in 884 consecutive games for the Blackhawks, an NHL record for most consecutive games played with the same team, and the third longest consecutive-games streak in league history.

Steve was selected to play in Pittsburgh in the 1990 All-Star Game, and in Chicago's 1991 All-Star Game as well. He won a Stanley Cup with the Rangers in 1994, and scored his 1000th point and played in his 1000th game in 1994–95, his final season.
Larmer was a member of the 1991 Canada Cup team for Canada, where he led the entire competition in goals (6) and ranked second in points (11) behind only Wayne Gretzky.

Famous quotes containing the word steve:
“Y’know plenty of people, in their right mind, thought they saw things that didn’t exist, y’know, like flying saucers. The light was just right, and the angle and the imagination. Oh boy, if that’s what it is, then this is just an ordinary night. You and I are going to go home and go to sleep and tomorrow when we get up that sun’s gonna shine. Just like yesterday. Good ol’ yesterday.”
