Stan Mikita's Legacy - Including The Donuts

Invented The Helmet, The Curved Stick And Sugar Pucks

"A legend died Tuesday," Steve Rosenbloom writes for the Tribune.

"Stan Mikita suffered from dementia for several years, so his death at 78 was not unexpected, just delayed.

"But the imprint the wondrously talented Blackhawks center left on hockey as a player and an innovator will live forever."
