It's fun to play hockey and never lose.
It's fun to be in Las Vegas.
So needless to say, goaltender Curtis Joseph has fun memories from his brief tenure with the Las Vegas Thunder during the 1995-96 season, when he briefly suited up for the IHL club amidst an NHL contract dispute that eventually resulted in his trade from the St. Louis Blues to the Edmonton Oilers.
In town this week to participate in Wayne Gretzky's annual Fantasy Camp, Joseph reminisced about his Las Vegas hockey memories and the city's arrival in the NHL.
"It's fun when you win every night," Joseph, 49 and retired from the NHL since 2008-09, said. "What was I, 10-1, 15-1 when I played here? It's always fun to win."
