The first nine years of Mike Babcock鈥檚 childhood were perhaps
the only years of his life when hockey didn鈥檛 play a part.
鈥淲here I was, I had skated but we didn鈥檛 have a hockey rink. I
lived in the Northwest Territory and there was no hockey. There was
curling in our town,鈥� commented the Red Wings鈥� coach.
Babcock was born in 1963 in Manitouwadge, Ontario, but his family
moved up to the Northwest Territory when he was about three.
