Shoebox Memories: Ron Duguay

This is Ron Duguay, one of hockey's great playboys. Here he is posing back in the mid 1980s for Sasson Jeans, with his Bon Jovi locks and his hairy chest, he was a real ladies man.

Women loved him. Especially supermodels. He married two of them: Robin Bobo and Kim Alexis.

Duguay also served as judge for 1980 Miss Universe Pageant in South Korea and appeared on television shows such as Hope And Gloria and Beverly Hills, 90210.

The former New York Ranger heart throb is making another hockey comeback this weekend. As mentioned last week, the 51 year old has signed a two game contract to play in the little known Eastern Professional Hockey League. Tonight he laces up with the Jersey Rockhoppers. Next weekend he will skate for the Brooklyn Aces.

This is not the first time Duguay has returned to professional hockey.

After retiring in 1989, he attempted a comeback with the expansion Tampa Bay Lightning in 1992, bu he suffered dislocated right thumb and separated left shoulder during a scrimmage in training camp. He was cut.

In 1996-97, at the age of 39, he played two games for San Diego of the WCHL. He returned for three more games in 1997-98. This led to speculation of another NHL comeback attempt, this time with Nashville in the team's inaugural 1998-99 season. Nothing ever came from that.

Then in 2002-03, at age of 45, he played two games for Jacksonville of the ACHL. He reportedly played these two games because he wanted his 8 year old son to see him play hockey.
