MEET STEVE MCQUEEN

*Fact Or Fiction:  Although his first love is racing cars, hockey is his next favorite sport. His favorite hockey move is called "The Blob" where he passes the puck back to himself by ricochetting it off the walls. No one has ever been able to copy this tricky passing technique.
