MONTREAL -- The pain of the March needle is a nasty memory. Legendary NHL goaltender
Terry Sawchuk
is remembered today only with great pleasure and affection by a son and a grandson who wear impressive matching tattoos of his iconic mask on their backs.
What began as casual thoughts of a small inked tribute to Sawchuk grew last winter when a bigger idea took shape. When Michigan tattoo artist Brent Davis had finished his work, Jerry Sawchuk and his 29-year-old son, Jon, were wearing stunning likenesses of Terry Sawchuk's fiberglass mask.
