From 1981, Eric Malling reports on the ordeal of hockey player Mike Robitaille. The then defenseman for the Vancouver Canucks stood up to the hockey establishment and won an important court decision related to injuries received while a player. He claimed that he was required to play hockey with an injured spinal cord. In the late 1980s Robitaille became a hockey broadcaster covering the Buffalo Sabres. He retired from most of his broadcasting duties in 2014, after 25 years of covering the Sabres in various capacities.
